 * Hi
 * I just intall WooCommerce for the first time to try to replace another ecommerce
   plugin.
 * I also intall this plugin “WooCommerce PayPal Checkout Payment Gateway”: [https://fr.wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-gateway-paypal-express-checkout/](https://fr.wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-gateway-paypal-express-checkout/)
 * Now I get this: [https://i.postimg.cc/wxDQxyvg/woo.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/wxDQxyvg/woo.jpg)
   and I’m lost…
 * – Why Jetpack? Can I use Woocommerce + Paypal without it?
    – When I click on 
   the link “Please upgrade to Smart Payment Buttons on the PayPal Checkout settings
   page.” I go there: [https://i.postimg.cc/sgHpH5n9/woo2.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/sgHpH5n9/woo2.jpg)
   > The settings are empty…
 * Very confusing… Thanks for your help

 * If you are a first time WooCommerce user, I suggest you start without “WooCommerce
   PayPal Checkout Payment Gateway” or Jetpack or anything else. A theme + the core
   WooCommerce plugin is enough to get going and make sales. The core WooCommerce
   plugin has a built-in PayPal gateway.
 * Run with it for a while. When you get the hang of it, if you want, you can add
   additonal features. “WooCommerce PayPal Checkout Payment Gateway” for example
   will allow you to put a pay button on the product page.

 * Well… in my other plugin I was using “Enable PayPal Smart Checkout” features,
   like this:
    [https://i.postimg.cc/SRDtRJrS/wp1-button.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/SRDtRJrS/wp1-button.jpg)
   < click on the blue button then it open this paypal popup: [https://i.postimg.cc/qBLFj5dP/Pay-Pal-Smart-Checkout.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/qBLFj5dP/Pay-Pal-Smart-Checkout.jpg)
 * Is this feature is a core WooCommerce fetaures od do I need to install anything
   else?
 * Thanks a lot

 * If you see no options in the settings, it’s possible that this is caused by a
   conflict with code in a custom theme or with another active plugin on the site—
   having multiple plugins with the same functionality (such as Paypal) could be
   why.
 * You can read more about plugin and theme conflicts here: 
    [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-self-service-guide/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-self-service-guide/)
 * If you’re not familiar with WooCommerce yet, you might want to use the basic 
   payment methods first (including the built-in Paypal method) before you install
   any additional Paypal plugins.

 * Ok thanks I’ll try on a fresh website, but, please, is this plugin ([https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/paypal-express-checkout/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/paypal-express-checkout/))
   the good one to install to have the modern paypal checkout?
    Thanks ^^

 * Suggest trying the PayPal gpayment gateway that is built-in to the core WooCommerce
   plugin first. Understand all the settings and get it working with PayPal sandbox
   brfore going live.
 * For less demanding shops that may be all you need. Later, if you wish, look at
   other PayPal plugins for extra functionality.
