I have paypal attached to my store. it was working fine for last month, and now there’s nothing changed and it started giving error on last step at checkout (after shipping calculation)

it shows two buttons on last page :

1: Connect to Paypal to Continue
2: Pay now

on click pay now it gives error You need to connect to PayPal to check out this way

all customers are confused which button to click and why it gives error

I got the exactly the same error since last night and the payment isn’t proceeded with this.
So I haven’t gotten any order for 22 hours. we lost thousands of dollars because of this already.
We only have PayPal option cos of restriction in my country so I’m very frustrated.
Our customers keep sending emails about it that they can’t pay cos of this errors.
I already contacted the tech team and they have no reply yet.
