Features of FunnelKit PayPal Payment Gateway for WooCommerce

Here are the key features that make this WooCommerce PayPal plugin a must-have payment gateway for your store:

1. Quick & Easy Onboarding

Connect your PayPal Business account in one click, or enter API credentials manually if you prefer. The plugin checks whether your account supports card payments and saved payment methods.

2. Multiple Payment Methods

Accept payments via:

PayPal Digital Wallet
Pay Later & PayPal Credit for flexible financing options
Credit & Debit Cards with advanced card fields, 3D Secure and saved cards
Venmo (where available)
Apple Pay and Google Pay, processed through your PayPal account

3. Capture & Authorize Transaction Types

Take full control of your WooCommerce PayPal payment processing. Use Capture to charge customers immediately, or Authorize to place a temporary hold and capture the payment later. Ideal for merchants who need to verify orders before fulfilling them.

4. Subscription & Recurring Payments

Works with WooCommerce Subscriptions, Sublium Subscriptions and PayPal’s native billing plans. Renewals are charged automatically to the saved payment method, including Apple Pay and cards for Sublium Subscriptions.

5. Vault for Stored Payment Methods

Utilize PayPal’s modern Vault system to securely store customer payment details, ensuring seamless renewals and future purchases.

6. Advanced Fraud Protection

Card payments run through PayPal’s advanced card fields with 3D Secure, so PayPal handles card details. Buyer personal data is also kept out of the plugin’s logs.

7. One-Click Express Checkout

Add PayPal, Venmo, Pay Later, Apple Pay, and Google Pay express buttons to product, mini-cart, cart, and checkout pages, on classic and block checkout. Buyers can pick a shipping method inside the PayPal window, and you can turn on Require Final Confirmation so they review the order before paying.

8. Seamless Refund Management

Issue full or partial refunds directly from WooCommerce, and have them automatically reflected in PayPal.

9. Sandbox Testing and Live Modes

Test your entire checkout flow in PayPal’s Sandbox environment before going live. This ensures smooth transactions without affecting real orders or funds.

10. Detailed Payment Tracking

See the PayPal fee, payout, refunded amount, and net total on each WooCommerce order.

11. Automatic Order Recovery

If a buyer approves the payment but the checkout never completes (closed tab, dropped connection), the order is created from PayPal’s webhook, including the Sublium subscription.

12. FunnelKit Checkout and One-Click Upsells

Works with FunnelKit Checkout and One-Click Upsells, including upsells on Apple Pay and card orders.

Compatible Payment Methods

Here’s what your customers can use to pay when you integrate PayPal with WooCommerce:

1. PayPal Digital Wallet

Let customers pay using their PayPal balance, bank account, or linked cards in just a few clicks.

2. Pay Later and PayPal Credit

Offer flexible financing options, such as “Pay in 4” or PayPal Credit (where available), making higher-value purchases more affordable for your customers. Pay Later messaging can also appear on product, cart and checkout pages.

3. Credit and Debit Cards

Accept major cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and more) through PayPal’s advanced card fields, with 3D Secure and saved cards.

4. Venmo

Enable Venmo payments for your U.S. customers, giving them a fast and familiar mobile payment experience.

5. Apple Pay and Google Pay

Let customers pay with the wallet already on their phone or browser, processed through your PayPal account. Both are available at checkout and as express buttons on product, cart and mini-cart pages.

Requirements

WordPress 5.3 or higher
WooCommerce 4.7 or higher
