Give not connecting with PayPal

    Greetings,

    I have been using Give for at least a couple of years and I have received several donations via PayPal. Today I have noticed my form isn’t working anymore, and in the Give panel on WordPress I have also noticed that the PayPal connection has been interrupted. I have tried to repeat the procedure, and it seems to work as I click “on Accept and continue” and PayPal says it’s all done. However, in the Give panel the “PayPal is currently NOT connected.” message keeps appearing. I phoned the PayPal assistance and they’ve said everything is ok by their side, so they suggested me to contact you. Can you help me? Thank you,
    Stefano

    Actually I have been able to fix the form by renewing all Give tables in the database through Tools > Data.

    However, the connection keeps failing under Settings > Payment Gateways > PayPal, so I keep paying the additional fees…

    Hey @zelldi,

    Glad you reached out.

    We’ve seen various errors with folks trying to connect to the PayPal Donations gateway, and at this point all issues point toward something on PayPal’s side. We are working closely with PayPal to resolve these issues, and figure out what’s going on, but as I said, the issues are all on PayPal’s side at this point.

    Here’s what has worked for some folks:

    It seems that using an incognito browser somehow aids in making the connection. So try logging into your WordPress site in an incognito browser and see if that connects without issue to PayPal.

    If you are still unable to connect even when connecting with an incognito browser, we’d like to gather a bit more information about what’s going on, and have set up a special form to gather that information. You can read more about the problems and fill out this form as completely as possible: https://givewp.com/paypal-onboarding-reports/

    Here’s how we’d recommend interfacing with PayPal on this, in addition to us sending along that information. Send them a support request with the following:

    Greetings!

    I am trying to connect my PayPal account to the GiveWP plugin for WordPress. I have gone through the onboarding process to connect my account, but when I finish I’m given the following message from GiveWP:

    (insert the error messages you are seeing)

    Please help me resolve these account errors so I can begin accepting payments via PayPal on GiveWP.

    As soon as we know anything more, we’ll pass it along!

    Thanks!

    Thanks a lot, @matheusfd ! It worked for me by logging into your WordPress site in an incognito browser.
