All things Shopify and commerce
Hi everyone!
I'm needing help in adding the "PayPal Pay in 4" function at checkout.
Does someone have an easy step by step how to enable this in my shopify store?
I've looked for the topics on here but none of them actually explain how to do it 😔
My store: https://meeko-8476.myshopify.com
Password: Meeko
Theme: Dawn
Location: Australia
Thank you for all your help!
Thank you!
This has been helpful.
I'm in Australia and I meet the eligibility criteria.
On the PayPal's website it's saying people in Australia are eligible.
I still cant find the PayPal pay in 4 option in the "Alternative Payments"
I know a few stores that have this option that are based in Australia, but for some reason I can't add it?
I'm also having the same problem. Aussie Shopify store owner here and Paypal just approved me for Pay in 4.
It's very frustrating because Paypal have simple processes to follow for other ecommerce platforms, but nothing like that for Shopify - which is the biggest one out there!
I chatted to support today and they linked me to this post, so hopefully we can both get some help. I was also asked to post on the SDK board which I've just done. I'll let you know if I find out any info.
Yo!
Enter this code in the liquid on the product page, works a treat 🙂
<script

</script>
<div

data-pp-placement="product"

</div>
Thanks for the response. It did worked. Heaps of thanks.
Paypal Pay-in-4 is now available for Australian merchants. I tried to follow your steps but Paypal pay in 4 isn't listed as an alternative payment option.
So American users of Shopify can use Pay In Four but not Australian ? from further comments below it seems this will not happen ever .... cant imagine its PayPal preventing it as they are approving Aussie businesses ... seems like a poor choice on Shopifys part to not allow it , I have received requests from customers to have it , may have to look elsewhere for my website. Is there any chance it will ever be approved ??
Hi Meeko, do you know if this will be available in Australia anytime soon? I am currently looking at an alternative webstore which supports PayPal Pay in 4
It's available to Australian merchants now, but the bad news is that there is no official implementation from Paypal with Shopify.
I contacted PayPal support and got this response:
Hello James, I'm Kevin. I understand you're trying to setup pay in 4 with your Shopify account. It's good you reached to us so you don't keep trying because the pay in 4 option isn't compatible with Shopify and that's why you're having those issues. I apologise for that.
I replied and said that's unfortunate because it would really be a great optiob for my customers. Then he replied:
I tried to call you to talk about it further but I didn't reach you. It's ok I was just going to tell you I understand where you're coming from but I don't see it ever being compatible with Shopify. That's just what I've been informed.
Considering how big Shopify is, I find this very disappointing. Being able to offer pay in 4 for my customers would definitely help get more sales.
yo!
You can enter the this code in the liquid and it will work
<script
src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=YOUR-CLIENT-ID¤cy=AUD&components=messages">
</script>
<div
data-pp-message
data-pp-placement="product"
data-pp-amount=data-pp-amount="120.00">
</div>
Just following up on this legitimate request. I contacted Paypal today and got a similar "No Go on Shopify" response;
Thank you for messaging PayPal today. I understand you are wanting to use Pay in 4 on Shopify. I surely wish you could! Sadly, at this time Shopify does not let Pay in 4 be offered. Hopefully, they will soon. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Yet in the thread we have OrdinaryAgency suggesting a simple code insertion will provide a solution. (Stated twice in fact).
Has anyone tried this method and can report if it was successful?
Hi OrdinaryAgency, with lots of respect for helping the community, unfortunately, I too was unable to visibly see the Pay in 4 option in your checkout, regardless of how deep I went.
Would dearly love to solve this. So thanks again for your efforts.
Edit - I can confirm this works for other readers - I was using a business account to test it, when I tried with my personal account I could see the PayIn4 option.
Hi OA,
Like Rob, I added a tramp to my cart and went through to select PayPal, but I wasn't given the option to Payin4 - is it still working from your side? TIA, James
just an update to this as per ordinary agency instructions - if you having problems getting the messaging in the correct place on the product page through editing the html code, ive found an easy way.
go to your theme editor, and the to you product page, add a new section " custom liquid" enter the code he suggested and then you can just move that section to wherever you want the messaging to appear.
<script
src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=YOUR-CLIENT-ID¤cy=AUD&components=messages">
</script>
<div
data-pp-message
data-pp-placement="product"
data-pp-amount=data-pp-amount="120.00">
</div>
works great!
Hey, what am I supposed to change in this link for it to work? --- https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=YOUR-CLIENT-ID¤cy=AUD&components=messages ---
Like how do I offer Pay Later PayPal to customers globally:
1) What can I change to display in their currency?
2) Also do I have to do something on the PayPal side to offer this to customers?
3) What is this -- client-id=YOUR-CLIENT-ID
<script
src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=YOUR-CLIENT-ID¤cy=AUD&components=messages">
</script>
<div
data-pp-message
data-pp-placement="product"
data-pp-amount=data-pp-amount="120.00">
</div>
Hi Steve, this change is a little complex if you haven't done it before, so I'll try to help answer your questions:
Hope this helps.
Thank you so much Sean, but I'm still having issues,
I have a few questions regarding PayPal's "Pay in 4" installment payment option. Is this service available for customers in Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, and other countries in the Americas, both North and South? It seems that this option is only available in Australia, which is frustrating since none of my customers are there. To be honest, it's infuriating. How hard can it be to offer installment payments to my customers in Latin America?
Any advice on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, if anyone can provide a snippet of code to implement and explain how the checkout process can be altered to include installment payments, I would greatly value your help.
Thank you so much Sean for your assistance so far.

Yes, only available to customers in USA, Australia, UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy atm (https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Products-Services-Archives/Is-there-a-list-of-countries-where-Pa...). Most 'Buy Now, Pay Later' providers focus their service on certain countries to minimise their risk (eg. Paypal, Afterpay). So, you may need to use a service provider specifically catering to South American customers (maybe Kueski https://www.kueskipay.com/shopify) and integrate that with your site.
Since my post, I have actually removed the code from my Product Page for two reasons. One, it was creating some PageSpeedInsight failures, and performance loss, due to the connection it makes on page load to Paypal API. As a new site with an SEO and social focus to generate traffic, I wasn't prepared to sacrifice the performance, and indirectly, the page ranking loss. Two, as you said, it was only adding limited info to the product page with no change to Checkout, and the customer has the option to choose 'Pay in 4' when they reach Paypal anyway. And I can just add a static image into the Product page template showing Paypal Pay in 4 is available. Code snippet for Checkout I don't have, but if you are going to look at another service provider then the code will be specific to that provider anyway. Hope this helps.
