We will investigate this but in the meantime, disable the “smart checkout option from the settings and keep only the standard PayPal checkout So you can continue to get the standard payment functionality working. * We will provide an update after we can get to the bottom of this. * If you need to use the Smart checkout option asap, you can try our following plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-express-checkout/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-express-checkout/) * Thread Starter [Andrew Leonard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrewleonard/) * (@andrewleonard) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-payments-3/#post-14083367) * Thank you I have disabled smart checkout and tested the transaction and it seems to have worked in PayPal and also put an entry in “Cart Orders” * I will probably not bother to use wp-express-checkout at this time but thanks for the info and I took the time to view the videos * [hackrepair](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hackrepair/) * (@hackrepair) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-payments-3/#post-14092206) * Yes, this disabling of the “Smart checkout option” likewise fixed an issue where a popup would appear after submitting PayPal payment: “Error occurred during processing.
