PayPal Express incorrect in checkout

-- HikaShop version -- : 4.4.3
-- Joomla version -- : 3.10
-- PHP version -- : 5.4.2

Hi, Can you please advise why PayPal Express insists on being incorrectly placed in checkout? this allows payment to go through with NO restriction applied ignoring all the restriction setting?
All other payment methods sit correctly where the arrow in pointing but I cannot find a way to get this method to go where is should

Hello,

The "PayPal express checkout" payment method is a payment method which will exclusively be displayed just after the cart during the checkout workflow of through the cart module.

If you don't want it to be displayed through the checkout workflow, note that you can control its displaying through your payment method configuration page via "Hikashop->System->Payment methods".

Also, if you want a "PayPal" payment method which will be displayed as the other payment methods during the checkout workflow, you should probably use the classic paypal method.

Kind regards,
Mohamed.

Hi, Thank you for your reply but you have not answered all the question!

1. why does PayPal Express NOT take any notice of any shipping restrictions I have set up in Hikashop e.g. shipping weight restrictions, it allows payment to proceed without any shipping attached if the restriction is exceeded? this works correctly with the PayPal payment method!

I have been told by PayPal that I cannot keep using the PayPal payment method that I have been using for the last 10 years with Hikashop as it will no longer function in taking payments! hence I have had to switch to Express with is not working correctly (ignoring restrictions) within Hikashop!

Hi,

Perhaps this didn't come across clearly enough in Mohamed's reply: it's in PayPal Express' distinct nature that it doesn't behave like other "regular" payment methods in HikaShop. PP Express wants you to go straight to paying with them, "through PP's checkout", so to speak. So, if you're using this, it's normal behaviour.

PayPal Standard (Mohamed called it "classic") should still be working as it does for me... if it did not, you'd sure see a lot of screaming here and elsewhere, including from myself, haha. So, not sure why PP would tell you this.

If I were you, I'd disable or remove PP Express from my payment methods and use PP Standard instead -- as Mohamed suggested. Give it a shot, and you'll see it'll be fine.

Hi, You have quite obviously skim read my response.

PayPal have both phoned me and emailed me stating that the PayPal Standard/Classic will no longer work shortly and that I had to migrate to PayPal Express, this I have done with the issues as stated!

I did find however, find that when using the standard I was getting a lot of failures and since I have started using Express I now get way fewer?

With 1/2 million turnover through PayPal, why would I start using something that is not going to function correctly for much longer? longer

Hi Nicolas, I will trust this information provided and swap back to the PayPal standard. I like you have no idea as to why PayPal would contact me to swap to Express?

I will also look into the PayPal advanced.

thanks
