Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about PayPal Payment Buttons

Log in to the PayPal Developer Dashboard. Navigate to Apps & Credentials. Select the Live tab. Click Create App or select an existing app. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret.

Production is the live environment where real customers make real purchases, and it is the only environment the plugin connects to. Sandbox is PayPal's testing environment where no real money changes hands; it is not offered in the block editor, so use credentials from your Live app.

Yes. Existing buttons created with the paste-code method continue to work exactly as before. There is no forced migration — old buttons render unchanged on both the editor and frontend.

USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, JPY, CHF, SEK, NOK, DKK, NZD, SGD, HKD, MXN, BRL, PLN, CZK, HUF, ILS, MYR, PHP, TWD, THB, INR, CNY, and RUB. Each currency displays its proper symbol (e.g., $, €, £, ¥) on both the editor preview and published page.

Credentials are encrypted using libsodium's sodium_crypto_secretbox (XSalsa20-Poly1305 authenticated encryption) before being stored in the WordPress database (wp_options). The encryption key is derived from your site's AUTH_KEY constant in wp-config.php using BLAKE2b.

Disconnecting removes your stored credentials and cached token. Existing published buttons with payment links continue to work on the frontend — the links are static URLs hosted by PayPal. However, you won't be able to create new buttons or edit existing ones until you reconnect.

This means your PayPal app may not have the required permissions. In the PayPal Developer Dashboard, ensure your app has the Payment Links & Buttons feature enabled.

This plugin is designed for standalone PayPal payment buttons on posts and pages. It's separate from the WooCommerce PayPal payment gateway. Both can coexist on the same site.
