 * If I try to place an order on our website with the PayPal button options on a
   product page, the cart. After completing the process in the PayPal popup I am
   taking back to the website with this error message
 * ERROR: reCAPTCHA verification failed.
 * This is only an issue with the PayPal options. Paying with the credit card is
   not a problem.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-recaptcha-verification-failed-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Unfortunately as much as we try we can’t make it compatible with all plugins.
   In some cases if the checkout is not properly refreshed it can get out of sync
   and the captcha token is no longer valid. If you let us know what plugin you 
   are using for PayPal we can add to our ToDo list to check 🙂

 * Hello, thank you for your reply. The plugin we are using is Braintree

 * I am going to suggest installing a different gateway for PayPal.
 * Specifically this one: [https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-paypal-payments/](https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-paypal-payments/)
