If the PayPal payment option is missing from your WooCommerce checkout page, it’s typically due to one of the following reasons:

🔍 Common Causes & Fixes of PayPal Payment Issue:

1. PayPal Not Enabled in Settings

Fix:
Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Payments
Make sure PayPal or PayPal Payments is enabled and set up correctly.

2. Incorrect PayPal Configuration

Fix:
Verify that you’ve entered the correct PayPal email or Client ID/Secret (for PayPal Checkout or PayPal Payments plugin). Any error here can cause the gateway to hide.

3. Currency Not Supported by PayPal

Fix:
Go to WooCommerce → Settings → General
Make sure your store currency (e.g., BDT, INR, etc.) is supported by PayPal. Otherwise, it won’t appear at checkout.

4. Geolocation or Country Restriction

Fix:
Some PayPal settings may be restricted based on customer or store location.
Double-check WooCommerce → Settings → General → Selling Location(s) and shipping zones.

5. Theme or Plugin Conflict

Fix:
Temporarily switch to a default theme (like Twenty Twenty-Four) and disable other plugins except WooCommerce and PayPal.
Then test again to isolate any conflict.

6. Sandbox Mode Enabled

Fix:
If you’re still in test (sandbox) mode, real PayPal won’t show on live checkout.
Disable sandbox under PayPal plugin settings before going live.

✅ Conclusion:

The issue is usually related to plugin settings, unsupported currency, or conflicts. Double-check your configuration, and test with basic themes/plugins to isolate the problem.
