    PayPal payments with Easy Digital Downloads have been failing for months now, and Easy Digital Downloads states that this is a PayPal issue, not EDD. Because this is not considered an EDD bug, it seems to have no priority.

    But:
    – We notice that Woocommerce doesn’t have any issues with PayPal payments
    – the legacy gateway PayPal standard still seems to process the recurring payments without issues, while the current PayPal gateway has continuous problems syncing recurring payments to the webshop.
    – If webshops worldwide would have the same PayPal issue, I’m guessing PayPal would prioritise it more. Currently it looks as the issue is limited to EDD customers only.

    Looking at the above information, it seems hard to believe that this is purely a PayPal issue. It seems (at least partly) an Easy Digital Downloads issue. Otherwise, you would expect this problem in Woocommerce as well, right?

    Easy Digital Downloads should investigate why the issue occurs on EDD, but not on Woocommerce. And why PayPal standard seems to work, but the newer method doesn’t anymore.

    I would also like to know if Awesome motive has this same issue on their own websites, and if not, if it has been investigated what the difference is. If these issues occur on your own websites as well, I would expect alarms ringing all over the place!

    Comparison of these cases should provide insights into the cause of the issue.

    Right now we’re approaching Black Friday without functioning PayPal, and no solution in sight.

    Please give this top priority!
