Accepting credit cards, warehouses, and shipping and fulfilling orders
Hi,
I am currently facing an issue where I am unable to active PayPal Express Checkout on my store. It was previously activated however I de-activated to change the email address for the PayPal account.
Now, when I go to Settings -> Payment -> Active PayPal Express Checkout, it takes me to a login page where I login with my PayPal Credentials (have tried both new and previously working paypal account), after authenticating I am taken to my PayPal dashboard. There is no return to Shopify button and now error message generated.
I have tried in 3 different browsers on my PC (Edge, Chrome, Opera) and also through the Shopify IOS App, each time I am just dropped into my PayPal dashboard.
I appreciate any assistance!
Thanks,
Tim
Solved! Go to the solution
This is an accepted solution.
Ok, I believe I have resolved it by disconnecting from my Wifi and connecting via cellular network.
I noticed that I was getting a security challenge by PayPal each time I tried activating and figured this might be interfering with the URL redirection.
It worked when I connected via cellular, effectively changing my source IP. Once I stopped receiving the security challenge it activated fine.
Hope this helps someone in the future.
