    Hi, I am confusing with few paypal plugin from woocommerce now. I just noticed the woocommerce comes with a “Paypal Standard” which admin can receive payment from buyer to the admin’s paypal personal account.

    I have 2 questions here

    1: what’s the difference with paypal standard and paypal checkout plugin.
    2: From what I can see, by using woocommmerce-paypal-standard, admin can receive payment from his paypal personal account, and the setting is very simple by only input a paypal email in the setting then its done. But if I enable the paypal-checkout, it has a connection process to paypal and ask for paypal-business account which is the only way to receive payment. Is paypal checkout only for paypal business account ?

    Thanks

    Hi @freelylw,

    I’m happy to help clarify this :).

    1: what’s the difference with paypal standard and paypal checkout plugin.

    The PayPal Checkout option adds the PayPal button on different screens throughout your site, making it easier / quicker for your customers to checkout.

    With PayPal Checkout, your customers can complete transactions in just a few steps, using their shipping and billing information already stored securely at PayPal to check out, so they don’t have to re-enter it on your site.

    The PayPal Standard option adds the PayPal payment option only on the checkout page. This means your customers will have to fill out the checkout form first, then select PayPal, then be directed to PayPal to fill out billing details, then back to your store.

    If you already have PayPal Checkout enabled, I’d recommend leaving that one activated and deactivating the PayPal Standard option.

    Please see the following articles on how PayPal explains the difference:

    – What is PayPal Payments Standard and how does it work?

    – What is PayPal Checkout and how does it work?

    2: Is paypal checkout only for paypal business account ?

    Yes, a PayPal business account is required for the PayPal Checkout plugin.

    I hope this helps.
