Description

The PayPal Payments plugin integrates the WordPress checkout with the PayPal API, processing one-time payments and recurring subscriptions directly on the site, with support for a buy button, a form, and its own payment page, without redirecting the customer to an external checkout. It’s for anyone who sells a digital product, a course, or a subscription on a simple site and needs to accept card and PayPal balance without installing a full e-commerce platform.
