Most of online shoppers love the flexibility and security of PayPal. Therefore, this payment gateway is always our top priority during the product development process. Although PayPal was already integrated into MicrojobEngine theme, but it’s not enough. Some of you might find it inconvenient when buyers are not automatically redirected to the previous page after completing the transaction. That’s why we decided to carry out PayPal Express Checkout as an additional payment method for you.

PayPal Express Checkout is a free extension of MicrojobEngine, all you need to do is downloading and installing it in your service marketplace.

PayPal Express Checkout not only offers your buyers the ease of convenience and security but it is also so easy to set up. It only takes you 3 – 5 minutes to install and configure the extension.

  • From your Dashboard, go to PluginsAdd New to add MjE PayPal Express Checkout plugin.
  • Then, activate this plugin as the image below:

  1. Enable/Disable payment test mode feature

You can select to either enable or disable payment test mode feature, allowing you to test payment without any charge.

  1. PayPal Express Checkout settings

As in MicrojobEngine version 1.3.2, we’ve rearranged some stuff for better management, so now all payment gateways are controlled in only one place. Open Engine Settings →  Payment Gateways →  Choose the “PayPal Express Checkout” tab.

  

In this section, you have to enable the PayPal Express Checkout payment gateway and enter the API Credentials, including the live client id and live secret (in case you disable the Payment Test Mode feature).

Get PayPal Express Checkout API Credentials

Please note that you must have a Business or Premier PayPal account to accept the online payments using PayPal Express Checkout before getting the API Credentials.

Here are the steps to help you get the API Credentials:

  • Visit https://developer.paypal.com/developer/applications/create to log into your account & create an app to receive REST API credentials for testing and live transactions.
  • Fill in all required field to validate the API Credentials. Then, click on “Create App” button to create the app.

  • After your account is successfully validated, you will be provided both the sandbox Client ID & Secret and live Client ID & Secret.

  • Finally, paste these live client id & live secret into API Credentials field from your admin dashboard.

In the next step, you must enter a unique prefix if your PayPal account is used for multiple websites since PayPal doesn’t allow orders with the same invoice number.

We also offer you the Button Styles section for customizing the PayPal Express Checkout button. So, you can select button shape and color as you want.

Let’s install this plugin and start accepting payments online!

    Hello,
    I followed the steps EXACTLY, but whenever I test it, “An error has occurred while making the payment” message appears to the buyer. What is wrong?
