Currency Support

While GP247 supports multiple currencies, PayPal has specific currency requirements:

  • PayPal supports a limited set of currencies for transactions.
  • Before using a specific currency, verify that it is supported by PayPal by checking the PayPal Supported Currencies documentation.
  • If you attempt to process a payment with an unsupported currency, the plugin will display an error message to the customer.
  • For optimal compatibility, consider using major currencies such as USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, or AUD.

Payment Process

  1. Customer adds products to cart and proceeds to checkout.
  2. The system creates an order and redirects the customer to the PayPal payment page.
  3. Customer logs in to their PayPal account and confirms the payment.
  4. PayPal redirects the customer back to your website.
  5. The system verifies the transaction and updates the order status.
  6. Customer receives payment confirmation.

Webhook Processing

The plugin integrates PayPal webhook processing to automatically update order statuses. The webhook will be sent to:

https://your-domain.com/plugin/paypal-express/webhook

You need to register this webhook in your PayPal Developer account and update the PAYPAL_WEBHOOK_ID in your .env file.
