 * Hello,
 * I just installed this plug in and noticed that the order notes that are inputted
   during checkout are not displayed in the section under orders and customer notes.
   I tried doing the same exact thing using the standard paypal in woocommerce and
   the notes showed up.
 * Any help would be appreciated.
 * Thank you,
 * Ivy

 * Can you show me a screenshot of where you’re expecting to see the notes? The 
   order notes from Express Checkout should be showing up in the WooCommerce order
   on the right side under the general notes section.

 * As you can see from the link below (you may have to zoom in to see it clearly)
   the first two I used my sandboxed paypal non-express and the order notes showed
   up. I am working on getting my website completed thus the use of the sandbox 
   and all of these are fake orders that I made testing out the comments. My wife
   makes monogramed shirts and as you can see from the fifth image she expects them
   to put their initials for the shirts in the order notes area on the checkout 
   page. When I use the paypal express you can clearly see how there are no Order
   notes or customer notes listed. I also tried a real test using my personal information
   and it did the same thing.

 * Two additional issues that I discovered today is that when I enable this plug
   in it moves the text in the proceed to check out button, please see the bottom
   two images in the link. It is no longer centered and when I disable the plug 
   in it is centered. The second new issue is the cancel order button at the final
   review page. I am unaware of a way to check the final review page after I disable
   the plug in, but when it is enabled the text for the cancel order is several 
   times larger than the place order button. I would personally like to make the
   place order button much more obvious.
 * Thank you for your assistance,

 * Are you sure it’s not getting added in the right column notes? In the screenshot
   I think if you were to scroll down a little bit you would see the notes show 
   up there.
 * We do have an [issue in our GitHub repo already setup](https://github.com/angelleye/paypal-woocommerce/issues/201)
   to move some stuff out of that right column and into any existing meta fields
   that WooCommerce offers. We’ll create some new ones, too, to make it a lot nicer
   to look at.
 * Again, though, I think those notes will be there, but just not where you’re expecting
   them to be. Look in the right column and see if they show up there please.
 * As for the issues with the proceed to checkout button, that is something that
   was affected with the WooCommerce 2.3 update and we’ve already addressed it in
   the development branch on GitHub. We’re just wrapping up final issues on the 
   [1.1.6.3 milestone](https://github.com/angelleye/paypal-woocommerce/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3A1.1.6.3),
   and then we’re going to get the updated released which will tighten a lot of 
   this stuff up. You can see that milestone already has 26 closed issues with 9
   left to complete. We’ll get it done ASAP!
 * I’m going to close this thread for now, but just keep your eye on GitHub and 
   look for updates which should resolve the issues you’re having. Of course, you
   can still respond here if you have more questions or concerns. Thanks!

 * Hello again,
 * Please see the above mentioned link again. I have added two additional pictures
   to the bottom of the post. One is of the top of an real order that I paid using
   paypal express and the last picture is the bottom half which represents the entire
   order section of this transaction. I do not see any comments anywhere on this,
   but I hope I am overlooking them. While I do not remember the exact comment I
   typed it likely is something along the lines of temp, temporary, test and likely
   some variation of jhm. I was typing some random stuff but that was the general
   pattern as I was testing it. Please let me know your thoughts and I will be glad
   to provide any further information.
 * Thank you for assistance and prompt responses.

 * Yeah, I’m not seeing what I expect to see. That said, the notes I was thinking
   of were from when people enter notes on the PayPal review pages. This looks like
   you’re still using the WooCommerce checkout page as opposed to letting people
   checkout with PayPal directly from the cart page..??

 * I believe I have figured it out. I do not believe paypal express uses the checkout
   page and paypal does which would explain why that is picked up on paypal but 
   not express. I have been thinking of possibly putting a text block on the product
   page and if I do so I would no longer be using the checkout page for the order
   notes so this would not be relavent.
 * I appreciate your prompt assistance with this, your customer service has been
   great.
 * Thanks again
