SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Adding PayPal as a payment method involves platform-specific configuration, server-side order creation and capture, webhook signature verification, and idempotency handling — mistakes in any of these cause duplicate charges, unfulfilled payments, or security holes. This Skill provides the complete implementation path for each platform. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Platform Setup Guides: Step-by-step PayPal configuration for Shopify, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce, including Venmo and Pay Later enablement. - Headless Integration: JavaScript SDK button rendering, Orders API v2 server-side order creation and capture, and OAuth token handling for custom storefronts. - Webhook Security: Signature verification, correct event selection (PAYMENT.CAPTURE.COMPLETED), and capture-ID-based idempotency to prevent duplicate orders. - Use Case: A React/Next.js storefront adds PayPal buttons that create orders server-side with idempotency keys, capture payments only after COMPLETED status, and process webhooks with verified signatures. ## Quick Start Use the paypal-integration skill to add PayPal Express Checkout buttons to my WooCommerce store with Pay Later messaging on product pages.

Frequently Asked Questions about paypal-integration

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add PayPal checkout to a WooCommerce store?▼

Install the official WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin, then connect your PayPal Business account via OAuth under WooCommerce Settings. The plugin enables PayPal, Venmo, Pay Later, and smart buttons on product, cart, and checkout pages.

How to integrate PayPal buttons in a React or Next.js app?▼

Load the PayPal JavaScript SDK from the CDN with your client-id, currency, and intent=capture parameters, then render paypal.Buttons with createOrder and onApprove callbacks. Always create and capture orders through your own server endpoints, never client-side only.

Should I load the PayPal SDK from npm or CDN?▼

Load the PayPal SDK via a script tag from https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js, not as an npm package. PayPal requires the CDN load so it can serve the correct version and funding-eligibility configuration for each buyer.

Why does my PayPal webhook create duplicate orders?▼

PayPal retries webhook deliveries, so handlers must check whether an order with the given capture ID already exists before creating one. Also fulfill only on PAYMENT.CAPTURE.COMPLETED, not CHECKOUT.ORDER.APPROVED, which fires before funds settle.

Why is Venmo or Pay Later not showing in my PayPal checkout?▼

Venmo and Pay Later must be enabled in your PayPal Business account under Account Settings → Payment Preferences, not just in the platform plugin. Once enabled on the PayPal account, they appear automatically in Shopify and WooCommerce checkout.

How do I test PayPal integration before going live?▼

Create sandbox buyer and seller accounts at developer.paypal.com and point your environment variables to https://api-m.sandbox.paypal.com with sandbox credentials. Run a full purchase flow and verify the webhook fires and is processed correctly.
