 * Hello
 * Please see the attached page link. I am using this plugin in two of my sites.
   In one site it is functioning well, and I enabled the ‘Pay by Paypal’ button 
   in the classic checkout mode – it’s working fine. However, in this website even
   if I enable the button in the classic checkout mode and save it, it does not 
   work. The button continues to appear in the cart page. Please also click the 
   Pay with Paypal button and you will see a red error at the top.
 * I also want to mention that the interface of the plugin appears different in 
   both the sites.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpaypal-button-issues%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@mjaitly123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mjaitly123/)
 * Thank you for your message.
 * I hope I understood your point correctly. The site you linked is using a block-
   based checkout. In this mode, the PayPal plugin currently only supports the Express
   Checkout buttons at the top of the page. The Smart Buttons typically replace 
   the “Place Order” button are not yet available in block checkout due to current
   WooCommerce limitations. This is expected to change in the near future as compatibility
   improves.
 * If you prefer to have full PayPal button support within the checkout flow, we
   recommend switching to the classic shortcode-based layout for now. That should
   allow the button settings to behave as expected.
 * Kind Regards,
   Krystian

 * Thanks for your reply. Can you let me know how to change from block based to 
   classic shortcode layout? I did follow these instructions, but it did not help.
   I do not even find the checkout option anywhere in the setting/advanced. I see
   only Page setup, Rest API, Webhooks, Legacy API, Woocommerce.com and Features.
 * 2. Disable Block-Based Checkout
 * The block-based checkout is enabled by default in newer WooCommerce versions.
   To revert to the classic checkout:
 *  Go to WooCommerce Settings:
    - Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced in your WordPress admin dashboard.
 *  1. Locate the Checkout Page Setting:
    2.  - Under the Checkout section, find the Checkout page dropdown.
        - Ensure the checkout page is set to a page containing the [woocommerce_checkout]
          shortcode (more on this later).
    3. Disable Block Checkout:
    4.  - In WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > Features, locate the Checkout option.
        - Uncheck the option labeled Use the block-based checkout or similar (this 
          may vary slightly depending on the version).
        - Save changes.

 * Hello [@mjaitly123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mjaitly123/)
 * This instruction is kind of confusing I agree. You can do this manually without
   needing to locate a specific toggle in the settings:
    1. Log in to your WordPress admin area.
    2. Go to **Pages** > **Checkout**.
    3. Click **Edit** at the top of the Checkout page.
    4. Remove all the existing content. Just purge everything from there.
    5. Insert the shortcode, or just copy paste this:`[woocommerce_checkout]`
    6. Update or publish the page.
 * Once saved, this will restore the classic shortcode-based checkout layout.
 * Let us know if you’re still seeing the block layout after this change or need
   help confirming it’s active.
 * Kind Regards,
   Krystian

 * Thanks for your reply. Will it remove the Paypal button from the page whose link
   I attached earlier. That seems to be the product page, and I don’t want the Paypal
   button on this page.

 * Hello [@mjaitly123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mjaitly123/)
 * No, that only controls the checkout page. If you want to remove the PayPal button
   from the product page, you’ll need to go to:
 * If you’re using the old UI (Standard Payments tab):
   Go to **WooCommerce > Settings
   > Payments > PayPal > Standard Payments**, then scroll to **Smart Button Locations**
   and remove **“Product page”** from the list. Save the changes.
 * If you’re using the new UI:
   Go to **WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > PayPal
   > Styling tab**, scroll down to the **Product page** section, and uncheck the
   visibility option. Then save the changes.
 * Either of these should remove the PayPal button from the product page.
 * Kind Regards,
   Krystian

 *  In the new UI, I unchecked the visibility option from the Product Page option(
   under the styling tab) and saved it, but it continues to adamantly appear. I 
   even cleared my cache and browser cache but no effect.

 * Hello [@mjaitly123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mjaitly123/)
 * Go to **WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > PayPal** → click **“Disconnect”**
   → when prompted, tick **“Start over”**.
 * After that, install the following plugin package, which disables the new UI and
   restores the classic connection flow: [https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1AA0vBWSFGmp2g9KmYC70hdpN3n2-Mgte](https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1AA0vBWSFGmp2g9KmYC70hdpN3n2-Mgte)
 * Onboard the plugin via [onboarding wizard](https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-paypal-payments/#connect-paypal-account).
   Go to **WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > PayPal > Standard Payments**, then
   scroll to **Smart Button Locations** and remove **“Product page”** from the list.
   Save the changes.
 * This way it should work.

 * Are you going to restore the functionality in the next plugin update? I’m OK 
   leaving Apple Pay and Google Pay disabled until a fix is in place. What’s the
   ETA on a fix? And are we ever getting FIELDS to be able to set Tracking information
   programmatically instead of having to do double work clicking your buttons?
