Yes server config can be a pest if it's something you rarely do. Thanks for the enthusiasm. We will have a very powerful POS integration soon too which will be open source.

Totally agree. It's all time and resources which can be hard to come by ..

Have a look in the Documentation tab https://www.cubecart.com/extensions/plugins/paypal-commerce

Why not? You can keep the store offline unless logged in as an administrator. Honestly it's worth persevering. PayPal Commerce will bring much better sales conversions than PayPal standard.

Hi Will, welcome back. PayPal Standard is no longer available. It's a legacy PayPal product that is being phased out and rightly so as the Commerce product is far superior in many ways. I too develop locally and have been though the exact same issue. I expose the web server externally with port forwarding and a dynamic DNS service as I don't have a fixed IP address with BT Broadband. My ASUS router has free built in Dynamic DNS. You can then point a domain to your WAMP config and setup free SSL with https://certbot.eff.org It's a bit of a ballache to get configured but absolutely ideal once done.

Great! Thanks for the feedback.

Great work Dave!! I wish you all the very best of success with this.

Only new transactions will get a phone number.

Thats right

You can't see it? Oh it was only visible when signed in. I changed it just now. Annoying.. it's been like that two years unintentionally.

When the phone number is missing it should show a link to the helpdesk article. Hence the <a href=" in the field. It's not working. There is no support paywall.

That screenshot is too small to read the text. Your hosting company is guessing. The API is up to date.

What kind of web hosting do you have? I think there is a technical issue here.. most likely something being blocked, rejected or not available.

The paypal_commerce folder needs to reside in the modules/plugins folder.

Strange. I've never experienced this. Maybe clear cookies and try again later. Sorry you are having problems.

Disconnect the PayPal Commerce extension and then connect again. Can you try that? Make sure you complete all onboarding steps and do not close the popup window with the X in the top corner. The last blue button return to store is critical.

What about in the request log in the admin control panel?

What payment gateway are you using? Are there and browser errors reported in the browser console?

It's probably a server side firewall blocking curl requests. This needs much deeper investigation.

In what way doesn't the payment page work? Do the other parts work such as the yellow express checkout button? I know that the card part can take longer to become active as PayPal as to perform risk assessment.

Did you click the las big blue button in the middle? Do not click the X at the top right of the page.

Does it look like this?

The screenshot suggest that vital PayPal components haven't ben loaded. Please do two things; 1. Make sure the extension is at the latest version 2. Make sure you have a secure SSL connection. You must be logged into your store admin control panel over SSL.

You need to login to PayPay and set phone number to be required. Log in to your PayPal account at paypal.com. Click the gear icon and select Account Settings. Click Website payments. Beside Website preferences, click Update. In Contact telephone number, choose an option for Contact telephone: On (Required Field) - requires that your customer enter their phone number when checking out.
