Is PayPal plugin compatible with Expanded Checkout

Hi,

Yes, the HikaShop PayPal Checkout plugin is compatible with what PayPal now calls "Expanded Checkout".

PayPal recently rebranded their offerings, but what they now call "Expanded Checkout" is essentially the same PPCP (PayPal Complete Payments Platform) that our plugin already integrates with. Specifically, the plugin uses the Orders API v2 and the PayPal JavaScript SDK, and supports:
- PayPal buttons (PayPal, Pay Later, Venmo)
- Direct credit and debit card payments (Advanced Card fields)
- Apple Pay
- Google Pay
- 3D Secure authentication

So you should be all set. If you have any specific feature or behavior in mind that you'd like to confirm, feel free to share more details and we'll be happy to help.

Hi,

1. This means that for PayPal Checkout, the display is handled by PayPal's javascript SDK. For Expanded Checkout capabilities, it requires extra coding on top of PayPal Checkout. That extra coding is in the PayPal Checkout plugin. As I said, the "Expanded Checkout" thing is just branding on their end. Capabilities wise, it doesn't matter.

2. Yes, you can sell gift vouchers with the PayPal Checkout payment plugin.
