How do I integrate PayPal Checkout with WooCommerce Subscriptions?

Here's how to integrate PayPal Checkout with WooCommerce Subscriptions:

  • Create a recurring product with the WooCommerce Store Manager's Guide.
  • Contact our Business Support to enable Reference Transactions on your PayPal account. This is a required step for this integration.
  • Enable PayPal Checkout in your WooCommerce admin panel.


Note: PayPal Checkout requires an additional plugin for integration. While you can use your preferred plugin, we recommend PayPal Payments for WooCommerce.

To install PayPal Payments for WooCommerce:

  1. Log in to WordPress Admin.
  2. Go to Plugins > Add New.
  3. Search for the WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin.
  4. Click on Install Now and wait until the plugin is installed successfully.
  5. You can activate the plugin immediately by clicking on Activate now on the success page.

Once the extension has been installed and activated, you'll find the PayPal options available under WooCommerce > Settings > Checkout. Visit WooCommerce PayPal Payments Setup Guide for a comprehensive integration guide.

Additional modules are available in many third-party applications that offer our payment solutions. We recommend that you research before installing any modules to ensure they support the features you are looking for. To ensure a safe recovery path, in case you need one, always back up your site before installing any modules.

Refer to our preferred Platforms and Marketplaces Directory for addional shopping cart specific information.
