Hello @loneweaver
thank you for reaching out to us, we are here to help.
The situation you are describing is actually the intended behavior, however, the “Place Order” button should disappear and the PayPal button should be displayed instead. I would think that something is blocking the PayPal button from appearing on your page. You may want to perform a full conflict test to rule out eventual issues with the theme or a different plugin. We recommend temporarily activating the default theme Storefront and disabling all other plugins except for?WooCommerce and?PayPal Payments to see if the behavior persists.
Here’s a guide that explains the steps in more detail: How to test for conflicts
Let me know if this got you any further in finding the cause for this situation to occur and if you require additional support.
Kind regards,
Joost
