Description

The first payment plugin in HikaShop more than 10 years ago was for PayPal. Until HikaShop 4.7.4, this plugin was still the recommended one for PayPal. However, in the last few years, PayPal released PayPal Checkout which is a new API made to support all the latest improvments, like other payment methods support (Venmo, credit card, Pay Later, etc), easy setup and more.

The guide on this page will present you how to migrate from the old plugin to the new one.

Step by step :

  • 1. Click on the "Connect to PayPal Checkout" button
  • 2. Enter your PayPal account Email Address & select your region and validate.
  • 3. Enter your merchant password and validate.
  • 4. Click on the "Connect" button in the popup. You are now connected ! and you can close the login popup. You'll see the status of your merchant account instead of the "Connect to PayPal Checkout" button.

Description

This screen enables you to manage all your order status. In HikaShop, order are categorized through different status, or to put it another way, different state depending on the current step of the order. This enables you to easily manage all of them from the same interface.

Before going more far, let's detail the classic course for an order.

Ex : .

Step 1 : Your user have a cart and enter the checkout => the order reach the "created status"

Step 2 : Your user have paid and the payment platform notification is recieved => the order reach the "confirmed status"

Other potential steps :

  • You use a payment method that allow pending payment, and so the payment platform notification will leads HikaShop to mute the status to "pending"
  • Or your customer for a reason or another, have abandon the payment during the process, as previously the status switch to "cancelled"

Last but not least, HikaShop allow you to create new order status to better fit your order managing needs.
