 * I have the horrible WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin which blocks PP from send
   us our money because we don’t have tracking numbers for our downloads (we don’t
   ship products… customer stream them or download them).
 * I’d like to switch to this plugin. Do you have instructions on how to remove 
   the horrible plugin and replace it with this one: do we put sales on hold, and
   if so, how? Etc.
 * Thanks.
 * Ed

 * Hi [@silvabooks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silvabooks/)
 * Thank you for reaching out. You can seamlessly switch from your existing PayPal
   plugin to this one by following these steps:
    1. Go to your WordPress Admin Dashboard and click **Plugins** > **Add new plugins**
    2. In the search bar, type “PayPal” which will bring up our plugin.
    3. Click the “Install Now” button and then active the plugin.
    4. You should now see a new tab under WooCommerce > PayPal by Payment Plugins which
       you can click.
    5. On the API Settings page, click the Connect button which will prompt you to 
       login to your PayPal business account.
    6. Once logged in, the plugin will connect to your PayPal account.
    7. Click the “PayPal Settings” tab and enable the different options for PayPal./
       wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-settings&tab=checkout&section=ppcp
 * Once you perform those steps, you can then safely deactivate your old PayPal 
   plugin.
 * Kind Regards
