PayPal gateway issues

[Gunther77]

I am still struggling with my Paypal gateway in WHMCS setup.

I have a question, when you select Paypal as the prefered payment gateway.  2 x PayPal payment gateways come up.

1. PayPal - it asks for Client ID and Client secret. - which someone at Paypal told me they don't use any longer.

2. Paypal basic - which asks for API user name, Password, and signature

So which one would you recommend?

I completed both, but the payment page is sometimes being skipped by the process. Maybe because I have both completed.

Hi @Gunther77

PayPal Basic is our original PayPal module - https://docs.whmcs.com/PayPal , whereas PayPal is the newer PayPal Checkout module offering Express checkout - https://docs.whmcs.com/PayPal_Checkout .

They each provide different functionality so I would suggest reading through the documentation to decide which one you wish to use.

Thanks

Hi Pete, thanks for the advice.

I will go take a look at the PayPal documentation.
