# PayPal SDK script absent

 * PayPal SDK script (`paypal.com/sdk/js`) is completely absent from the checkout
   page source code, but loads correctly on the cart page. Using shortcode-based
   checkout `[woocommerce_checkout]`. All payment methods are enabled in plugin 
   settings. Account is fully connected via onboarding. Result is that PayPal button
   works but returns an error before redirecting back to the store, and credit cards,
   Google Pay, and Apple Pay all say ‘not available.’ Also running Native Stripe
   on the same site. 
   The bottom paypal option is what comes from this plugin.; 
   I had to turn back on the native paypal plugin because my checkout can’t be broken
   for a long time.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpaypal-sdk-script-absent%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@dolcezza](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dolcezza/)
 * Thank you for contacting Payment Plugins. Can you enable our PayPal plugin so
   we can review the checkout page?
 * Did you make sure to enable Google Pay within your PayPal business account? Here
   is our guide on enabling Google Pay: [https://paymentplugins.com/documentation/paypal/googlepay/](https://paymentplugins.com/documentation/paypal/googlepay/)
 * If you have the `Use place order button` option enabled on the PayPal Settings
   page then no PayPal SDK script will be loaded since it’s not needed in that scenario.
 * Kind Regards

 * It is enabled now. Everything is enabled in paypal because they were all being
   used origonally with the native paypal plugin. I was trying to switch to your
   plugin.

 * So I started with what ai said. I am not sure the sdk is the actual problem. 
   I went through the setup stages of your plugin, and everything on the backend
   says it was active. If I tried to place an order, the order would got through
   but then the paypal screen would say “there was a problem” instead of confirming.
   All of the wallet things juts say not available right now and so does the card
   processing.
   I was using the wallets through stripe so I don’t really need those,
   but wanted to give you the info in case they are related. The site is live and
   active though so I don’t want to leave broken payment methods on for long.
 * Thank you

 * Hi [@dolcezza](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dolcezza/)
 * The PayPal buttons are rendering correctly, here is a screenshot showing those
   on your checkout page:

 * The wallets not being available would be related to how your business account
   is setup. Please [click this documentation link](https://paymentplugins.com/documentation/paypal/googlepay/#enabled)
   and follow the directions. You will need to make sure Google Pay and Apple Pay
   are enabled for the application.
 * Regarding the error message with PayPal, can you take a screenshot showing the
   error? You can also go to the WooCommerce > Status > Logs page and look for a`
   wc-ppcp` log file which may have more details.
 * Kind Regards
