PayPal Express button not working on Hyvä product pages

Mex — Thu, 20 Feb 2025 22:01:08 +0000

Depending on your version of Hyvä, the PayPal Express button on product pages may not work. The error message is We can’t initialize Express Checkout bzw. We could not initialize the express checkout .

To fix this, override vendor/hyva-themes/magento2-default-theme/Magento_Paypal/templates/express/shortcut_button.phtml in your Hyvä child theme and remove the following code from the template:

'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8',

The code may occur more than once. After removing it and redeploying, the PayPal Express button should work correctly.

Hinweis: As of February 21, 2025, the Hyvä team is aware of the bug and plans to include a fix in a future Hyvä release. If you do not want to wait, the change above provides a workaround.

Adding payment method icons to the i-ways PayPal Plus extension

Mex — Mon, 04 Nov 2019 08:21:49 +0000

Everyone knows it and nobody likes it: when using the i-ways PayPal Plus extension for Magento 1 or Magento 2, payment methods from third-party providers often have no icons. This is not so much a problem with the i-ways extension itself, which merely displays the available payment methods as configured.

The problem lies with the payment methods, which often provide no option for adding an icon. A relatively small change to a JavaScript file can let you assign any icon to a payment method.

The exact change varies a little from case to case. If you would like this feature, contact me. I would be happy to help at a reasonable price.

Checkout agreements not working / can not be accepted when using PayPal

Mon, 29 Jul 2019 06:54:50 +0000

You created several checkout agreements in your Magento 2 store, but as soon as you choose PayPal as payment method in the checkout, it just won’t accept those agreements? Instead, a validation error is returned whether or not the agreement box is checked?

The problem here is that the values from the checkout are not being passed over to PayPal. The solution is to install the CopeX/PaypalFix. After installation, clear your caches, reload the checkout and you should be done.

Fixing PayPal gateway has rejected request: Method Specified is not Supported

Mex — Fri, 02 Oct 2015 10:59:28 +0000

Sometimes the message PayPal gateway has rejected request. Method Specified is not Supported appears when a customer attempts to place an order using PayPal. To fix it, set the value to “&” in a PHP script inside your Magento store or adjust php.ini.

You can set the value in a PHP script as follows:

ini_set('arg_separator.output', '&');

To set the value in php.ini, use the following configuration:

arg_separator.output = "&"
