A payment gateway needs to balance checkout convenience with the way sensitive payment information is processed.
WooCommerce PayPal Advanced is designed around a hosted payment approach that allows the checkout experience to remain closely integrated with the WooCommerce store while payment processing is handled through PayPal's infrastructure.
This makes it different from a conventional PayPal Standard flow, where customers are typically redirected to PayPal to complete payment.
The extension is designed to keep the customer within the WooCommerce checkout experience while using PayPal's hosted payment technology for processing.
The exact checkout behavior can depend on the PayPal service, account configuration, gateway version, and WooCommerce environment.
Customers can use supported credit and debit cards through the configured PayPal Advanced gateway. Commonly supported card brands include:
Visa
Mastercard
Discover
American Express
Available payment methods ultimately depend on the merchant's PayPal account and the services enabled for that account.
PayPal-hosted checkout functionality helps the store integrate payment processing without requiring the merchant to build a complete card-processing system from scratch.
The extension provides configuration options for supported hosted checkout templates and related gateway settings.
Stores offering subscriptions, memberships, or other recurring products can use the extension with WooCommerce Subscriptions where recurring payments are supported by the applicable PayPal service and account configuration.
This can allow eligible subscription orders to use an appropriate recurring payment workflow.
Before accepting live payments, merchants should configure the available sandbox/test environment and verify the checkout process. Once testing is complete, the gateway can be switched to its live configuration.
