PayPal SmartButtons in WP eStore Cart

[bhgardenclubadmin]

Hello, I recently purchased the WP eStore plugin. I was able to get the whole site up and running, but I noticed that the cart is calling the old PP buttons and not the smart buttons.

I have 1 product at the moment with a variation in price based on size of the shirts for our club. Not sure if it matters.

Is there a way to call the smart buttons into the cart vs the old checkout buttons? I looked through the form, but I didn’t see any reference to it.

Thanks.

The plugin doesn’t use any old PayPal buttons. It uses the standard PayPal checkout API. That’s the most stable and widely used product of PayPal (it always works). There are various other APIs that PayPal introduces from time to time and then they sometimes discontinue it later. For example, the smart checkout API has already been changed and renamed by PayPal to express checkout API. We created a separate plugin for it:

WP Express Checkout (Accept PayPal Payments)

We generally don’t want to change our eStore’s standard PayPal API because it is the most widely used product of PayPal and it always works. We use our eStore plugin on our own sites. We have been using it for 10 plus years now. For us, stability is more important than a fancy look that may or may not be there after couple of years.

Sidenote: the description, video and screenshots on the WP eStore’s landing page shows exactly how that plugin works. It will do exactly that. The description says that our eStore plugin uses the Standard PayPal checkout API.
