The WooCommerce PayPal Advanced extension is exclusive to the US and Canada and requires users to have a PayPal Payments Advanced account. This particular extension does not support AUD currency transactions and is not compatible with partial refunds. It also doesn’t allow recurring billing.
This integration provides a smooth and integrated gateway and merchant account within your website, eliminating the need for users to navigate away during the checkout process. Similar to PayPal Pro, customers input their credit card details directly on your site, and PayPal handles the transaction seamlessly.
Key Features:
- On-site checkout experience throughout the payment process
- Combines Payment Gateway and Merchant Account functionalities
- Integration with PayPal Express and Bill Me Later (Note: These services are not optional with PayPal Advanced)
- Utilizes an iFrame embedding method for the checkout process, ensuring PCI compliance and SSL certificate handling by PayPal’s hosted pages, reducing your compliance responsibilities.
Ultimately, this extension aims to provide a more streamlined checkout experience for your customers by allowing them to complete their purchase without leaving your website.
