  • Far superior to the official plugin

    A very comprehensive plugin that works perfectly on a high-traffic ecommerce site with substantial sales volume. We use Express Checkout, card payments, and standard PayPal payments. Issues are resolved very quickly. Highly recommended and, without a doubt, the best option for getting the most out of the PayPal payment gateway.

  • Latest release is bugged

    The latest update caused pending payments to show. Customer payments went through but pending on admin for intermittent orders. Changed the payment plugin to a different one and it fixed the problem. So the issue was with this plugin.

  • Great support and fast issue resolution

    I had an issue with Apple Pay and Google Pay not rendering correctly in the mini cart on some pages. The support team responded quickly and provided a fix in the next plugin version. After updating, everything works perfectly. Very satisfied with the support and responsiveness. Thank you!
