I wanted to add the PayPal smart button in Shopify Craft theme, I tried a lot but button is not integrated. Please tell me the solution.
Thankyou.
Hey @Maham-ahmad ,
Welcome to the Shopify Community!
While PayPal refers to these as “smart payment buttons”, Shopify offers “dynamic checkout buttons”, which are quite similar. Dynamic checkout buttons are displayed on your product pages and dynamically change to reflect the customer’s preferred accelerated checkout method, which is quite often PayPal.
You can add or remove dynamic checkout buttons on any part of your online store that has an Add to cart button. For step-by-step instructions on enabling this, follow the help doc below:
Much like smart payment buttons, dynamic checkout buttons offer the customer the ability to pay with PayPal directly from the product page. However, while PayPal’s smart payment buttons also display “Credit or Debit” as options, Shopify’s dynamic checkout buttons instead include a “More payment options” button, which will take customers directly to the Shopify checkout, where they can proceed with a credit card transaction.
Is the reason why you’re wanting to have PayPal’s smart payment buttons because you’d like to give customers the ability to pay with credit or debit through the PayPal gateway? With PayPal Express, the default is set to ask customers to log in to PayPal (or create a PayPal Account). However, you can enable guest payments to let customers pay with their credit card even if they don’t have their own PayPal account. To enable guest payments, you’ll just need to change the settings in your PayPal account settings. Feel free to check out PayPal’s help doc on enabling guest payments to learn more.
If you are still wanting to add PayPal’s smart button, then I would recommend getting in touch with a Shopify Expert to see if this is possible. Because Shopify themes are built upon a different code language, Liquid, the process for integrating this likely involves more than just simple HTML. I’m also curious to see if the rest of the Community has any suggestions.
Paypal Tip: A normal process in owning a business is your partners (including the services you incorporate into your business) managing their risk, however, new entrepreneurs have difficulty navigating their way around these situations. If you find yourself with PayPal holding your funds you have some steps they recommend to follow here. Don’t forget that you can eliminate your transaction fees with us by adding Shopify Payments as a gateway (if supported in your country) option for your customers as well.
I hope this clears things up and helps explain the similarities and differences between PayPal’s smart buttons and Shopify’s dynamic checkout buttons. If I’ve misunderstood your question, or if you have any follow-up inquiries, please feel free to respond here!
