I use EE4 on multiple sites with a few licenses. I have PayPal Standard on all of them except a new install. Where do I turn this on or activate this payment method? Thanks

Hi Steve,

We recommend using the PayPal Express gateway instead of PayPal Standard. You can use the same PayPal account with PayPal Express.

If you can tolerate the way the PayPal standard doesn’t reliably handle the Instant Payment Notifications(IPN), it’s possible to reactivate the PayPal Standard gateway by adding some code to your website. The code is outlined in the documentation:

Is the Express just a better or safer way to have it setup? Would guess yes as you’ve hidden the other one. I’m just used to popping in the e-mail and going on my way thats all. Thanks.

PayPal Express is much better. There’s a bit more to setting it up with the API fields, but the PayPal Express documentation shows how to get that information from your PayPal account:
