Es funktioniert, es ist eingerichtet, mit Paypal verknüpft und es kann auch bezahlt werden. Allerdings bekomme ich jeden Tag eine eMail von WordPress das es einen Fehler im Plugin WooCommerce Paypal Payments gibt. Im Speziellen einen Typ E_ERROR in Zeile 127. Mein Hoster sagt er kann mir da nicht helfen und ich selbst finde das Problem nicht. Jeden tag aufs Neue kommt die eMail von WordPress. An die Entwickler: Bitte beheben Sie den Fehler und senden Sie ein UpDate so schnell wie möglich. Ich weiß nämlich nicht was ich tun soll. Solange bestellt werden kann ist es für mich nicht dramatisch, jedoch sollte ein Plugin das zur Bezahlung via Paypal dient reibungslos und ohne Fehler funktionieren.

We got random errors of orders not being able to go through via paypal with this plugin during a critical sale - over 4,000 orders that day. The plugin was working fine for about a month, and then this happens right on the day of the sale. I'm not sure if it's because we had so many ordering at once, but we have never had this issue before. We had over 200 fail and that number was raising quickly. Luckily, we still had the old paypal plugin. We reverted to the old paypal plugin and this error went away. Please do not replace the old plugin with this one - this will be costly for us, and we will definitely need to find an alternative to woocommerce plugins for this.

Orders randomly fail with vague error messages. Edit: I'm changing my rating since this problem was caused by interference from another plugin. It would be good if there was a way to have more descriptive error messages.

This plugin worked straight away and I was able to process payments immediately. Since then I've had a couple of issues but support has been prompt and they seem to be resolved. Only 4 stars for now but I might give it 5 if it stays reliable and they keep improving it. A tip for anyone using this with Perfmatters or any performance plugins - it needs the REST API. Make sure it is enabled.
