Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Magento 2 PayPal Express Checkout Extension do?
The extension integrates PayPal Express Checkout with Magento 2 using PayPal REST APIs, the PayPal JavaScript SDK, and Orders v2. It supports PayPal payment approval, server-side capture, dynamic shipping updates, and webhook-based payment reconciliation.
Does the extension support PayPal Orders v2?
Yes. Toweringmedia PayPal Express uses the PayPal Orders v2 API for modern checkout processing, including order creation, customer approval, and payment capture.
Where do I configure PayPal Express Checkout in Magento 2?
Go to Stores → Configuration → Sales → Payment Methods → Toweringmedia Express Checkout. Enable the payment method, choose the environment, enter your PayPal REST App Client ID and Client Secret, configure the Webhook ID, and select Capture intent.
Can I test the PayPal integration before accepting live payments?
Yes. The module supports Sandbox and Live environments. It also provides a Test Credentials button that checks the saved PayPal REST API credentials through an OAuth token request.
Does the PayPal Express extension support dynamic shipping updates?
Yes. The extension supports dynamic shipping updates during PayPal checkout, allowing supported shipping address and method changes to be reflected in the checkout totals before payment completion.
Does the extension support PayPal authorization and capture?
Capture is the documented payment flow for the current release. Although an Authorize option exists in Magento configuration, the repository states that the later-capture admin workflow has not yet been implemented. Merchants should use Capture until the authorization workflow is completed.
Does the extension support PayPal webhook synchronization?
Yes. The module supports PayPal webhook-based payment reconciliation. Configure the Webhook ID from the corresponding PayPal REST API application so incoming webhook notifications can be verified.
Does the extension require another Toweringmedia module?
Yes. The Composer package requires toweringmedia/module-base along with compatible Magento framework, payment, checkout, quote, sales, and related core modules. A valid PayPal REST API application is also required.
Which Magento and PHP versions are supported?
The current Composer package declares PHP >=8.1 and <8.6, Magento Framework >=103.0.7-p0 and <103.0.10, and matching Magento component constraints. Merchants should verify the exact Magento release and PHP version against the package requirements before installation.
How are PayPal API credentials protected?
The PayPal Client Secret uses Magento's encrypted configuration backend. The extension also provides optional debug logging with sensitive values intended to be redacted, and supports PayPal webhook signature verification using the configured Webhook ID.
