Payment Module Settings
Once you've connected to PayPal Checkout, the payment module will have the following settings available:

Show Pay Later messaging for available offers.

Hide buttons on Product Page
By default, PayPal buttons are shown on your product listing pages as well for the shopper's convenience. Marking this checkbox will disable that option so that PayPal buttons are shown only on the View Cart and Checkout pages.
Select Credit/Debit card interface
See note below
Authorize Only
This checkbox enables the payment method's Authorize Only option.
Allow Instant payment sources only
Marking this checkbox makes it so that your customers can only pay using Instant Payment sources such as credit card payments. (i.e. no e-checks)
Do not retrieve customer address from PayPal
Normally, PayPal users log into their account and return to your store with their address information imported to the order. This checkbox will not pull their address information from their PayPal and instead require the shopper to enter their billing/shipping information manually during the order.
Save PayPal and Venmo
This setting allows for customers to save PayPal and Venmo payment information to their account. This allows for them to reuse this payment option for faster repeat purchases. It will display alongside any Saved Credit Cards in their Customer Account.
Save Credit Cards
By enabling this checkbox, customers are allowed to save credit card information on your store via a token. This will allow for them to reuse a credit card without needing to re-enter it in.
Hide Venmo
Marking this checkbox hides the Venmo option in areas where PayPal displays. Useful for if you only want to display PayPal without Venmo on your store.
Select Credit/Debit card interface
You will see a drop down labeled "Select Credit/Debit card Interface" with display options for your store front.
- None
If left as this option your store will display only the PayPal button and no other options.
- Embedded on PayPal buttons (allows guest checkout)
This will utilize PayPal's Smart Buttons on the store front.
- Hosted fields (allows guest checkout, phone orders payments and virtual terminal operations)
This option will include credit card processing fields using PayPal's Payment processors.
It will also allow you to use the PayPal Creidt Card Processor Fields for placing Phone Orders from your Shift4Shop Online Store Manager.
- Hosted fields with 3d Secure (allows guest checkout, phone orders payments and virtual terminal operations)
This option will also include credit card processing fields using PayPal's processors while also using 3DS protocols through PayPal
Note
Hosted Fields are available only for US, UK, Australia, France, Spain, & Italy
Advanced Settings
Toward the right hand side of the payment module, you will also see an "Advanced Settings" link with these options:
- Minimum Order Amount & Maximum Order Amount
Use these fields to set order amount ranges on the method if desired.
- Order Status
This option will let you send orders (placed with the payment module) to either your store's New or Unpaid order statuses.
- Customer Group
If you'd like to limit the use of the Payment module to specific customer groups, this setting will be used.
- Hosted Credit Card Fields CSS
This section allows you to slightly tailor the look and feel of the credit card fields used on the module (if using PayPal Checkout + Credit Card Processing). This styling is currently limited to the input fields (CC#, Date, CVV) of the credit card payment fields.
Once you've made your changes to the PayPal Checkout Module, click "Save" at the top right to make them live and complete your set up.
