Payment Gateway for PayPal on WooCommerce

79 Quality Score

Active Installs

18/30

The 10,000 active installs is modest, placing it well behind the leading alternative at 80,000, which explains the middling popularity score.

Update Freshness

25/25

Last updated July 2026 and marked as tested with WordPress 7.0.1, so the maintenance signal is strong and current.

User Rating

13/15

The 88 out of 100 rating from 73 reviews is solid, though the relatively small sample size means individual reviews carry more weight.

Support Health

8/15

Only 8 support threads with 6 resolved (75%) is a thin dataset, making it hard to draw firm conclusions about long-term responsiveness.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Tested up to WordPress 7.0.1 with a minimum requirement of 4.7 and PHP 7.4, which covers the vast majority of current WooCommerce installations.

What It Does

This plugin adds PayPal as a payment option to WooCommerce stores, supporting PayPal Checkout, credit and debit cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Pay Later, Venmo, and several regional methods including SEPA, iDEAL, Mercado Pago, and Bancontact. It comes from an official PayPal Partner and integrates the checkout buttons directly into your WooCommerce payment settings. Setup involves connecting a PayPal merchant account and toggling which payment methods to enable.

Who It's For

This plugin is best suited for small to mid-sized WooCommerce stores that want a single gateway handling PayPal plus a wide range of card and wallet options without juggling multiple extensions. It is a good fit for merchants selling internationally who need regional methods like iDEAL or Mercado Pago. Stores looking for official PayPal branding and a partner-supported experience will appreciate its positioning.

Who Should Skip It

If you already run on Payment Plugins for PayPal WooCommerce (80,000 installs) or another mature PayPal gateway, switching offers little practical benefit given this plugin's smaller install base. Very high-volume stores or those needing deep subscription, multi-currency, or B2B invoicing tooling should look at more specialized gateways.

The Bottom Line

With a quality score of 78.61 out of 100 and active development in mid-2026, this is a competent PayPal gateway for WooCommerce, though not exceptional. Its broad method coverage and partner status are genuine strengths, but the small install base and thin support history make it harder to fully trust at scale. Worth trying on smaller stores, but larger operations should weigh the better-known alternatives first.

Pick this if you want a far more battle-tested option with 80,000 installs, deeper subscription support, and a longer track record.

Donations via PayPal 81/100

Pick this if your site only needs to collect donations or one-off payments and does not require a full WooCommerce checkout flow.

Easy PayPal & Stripe Buy Now Button 79/100

Pick this if you want simple buy-now buttons with both PayPal and Stripe rather than a full gateway integration.

Easy Accept Payments via PayPal 78/100

Pick this if you need a lightweight PayPal accept-payment or donation tool without WooCommerce complexity.

Restore PayPal Standard for WooCommerce 78/100

Pick this if you specifically need to bring back the legacy PayPal Standard checkout that newer PayPal plugins have phased out.
