PayPal payment gateway for WooCommerce WordPress Plugin


A code is a plugin for a website that uses the WooCommerce plugin for e-commerce. It creates a custom payment gateway for PayPal, so that customers can use PayPal to pay for the products or services they purchase on the website.

The plugin includes functions for validating the payment with PayPal, storing the transaction ID, and logging system processes. Additionally, it adds the custom PayPal payment gateway to the WooCommerce payment options so that it appears as an available payment method during the checkout process.

Here is a basic example of how to create a PayPal payment gateway plugin in PHP for Wordpress:
