Using the standard Paypal method with the REST API

    I’m trying to configure my WooCommerce site to work with a developer (sandbox) Paypal account I just opened. However, when reading the WooCommerce docs (https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/paypal-standard/), all I see are instructions for integrating with the “classic” Paypal gateway, the NVP/SOAP one. Meanwhile, in my Paypal developer dashboard only shows me the option to create REST API apps; if I try to create a NVP/SOAP app, it says I must switch to a live environment.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but my impression based on the above is that, with the standard Paypal gateway that comes from WooCommerce, I can only connect to Paypal via the old API (NVP/SOAP), and that I need an extra (paid?) Paypal plugin to use the new REST API. Am I right, or did I miss something?

    Hey there!

    If you are doing testing and want to set up the sandbox, all you would want to do is insert the testing/sandbox email. You would not be able to set up an API app, but for testing you would not need that typically.

    Hopefully that helps! Have a great one!
