PayPal express button only shown when no shipping is required

    The PayPal express buttons can be activated for the product detail page and the cart page. However, they are only shown when the product (or all products in the cart) do not require shipping. This is also evident from the PHP code in PayPalButtonHandler.php.

    This restriction does not exist for the ApplePay express buttons, which are shown regardless of shipping. Why does this limitation exist?

    Hi @geistesblitzer

    The limitation you mentioned for PayPal express buttons is primarily due to the current PayPal integration at Mollie. Mollie required an express checkout option without a final review on the Checkout page, which led to the decision to limit PayPal buttons to virtual products that do not require shipping. Meanwhile, Apple Pay works a bit differently and is designed to handle additional shipping details, allowing it to be available for all types of products.

    However, Mollie is actively working on updating their PayPal API, and we anticipate that the PayPal button functionality will be extended to non-virtual products once those updates are implemented. The exact timeline is uncertain, but we expect improvements in the future.
    If you would like to see the PayPal button feature extended to more use cases, I suggest voicing your feedback with the?Mollie Support Team?directly. Thank you!

    Kind regards,
    Niklas
