guys i'm not sure why i can't accept google/apple pay via paypal payment gateway on woocommerce but after asking paypal customer support they told me that these features not available on your account region due to the banking regulations, right now my biggest concern that i want to activate the local payment gateways like iDeal and Trustly but i'm not sure if they will be active because after activating them they show up in the checkout page but last time have produced an error while a customer tried to use it for checkout, to be honest the whole thing about payment gateways can't understand how it's going between the legal and policies of banks to the technical part on programming AKA integration on woocommerce via a plugin

this is helpful and informative bcause it's exactly what i've being going on this long jounrey, i've already set a currency changer depends on the user region with a plugin called curecy, still not sure if it's going to work, is it possible to test if it's going to work or not afte the redirection, also what the hosted checkout you have been talking aboutRan into exactly this across a few EU stores. Took me a while to accept it wasn't the plugin.
Apple Pay and Google Pay through PayPal are locked at account level, per merchant account and per country. Nothing you change in the store turns them on.
iDeal and Trustly failing after redirect is nearly always store currency (iDeal settles EUR only) or the method rendering at checkout while it's still unapproved on the account. PayPal shows the button either way, which is what makes it so confusing to debug.
What I ended up doing was moving the payment step off PayPal entirely, onto a hosted checkout where the local methods are already approved and live. Wallets and iDeal worked day one after that.
Happy to go into how I set it up if it helps, just ask.
ok got it, one thing here i really want to switch into stripe or mollie and duing my LLC creation process i just want to test if trustly and iDeal will work because paypal support told me they're avilable to my account, only google/apple pay which are not, is there's any way to test if it's going to work or not@anasbinti paypal is notorious for this. the reason those buttons show up on your checkout but fail when clicked is because the woocommerce plugin just loads the standard gateway elements, but when the API actually tries to process the payment, paypals backend blocks it because of your account region. if paypal support told you your region is restricted, trying to force ideal or trustly through their gateway is just going to keep throwing errors. you are probably better off looking at stripe or mollie if you want to target EU customers with local payment methods. mollie is usually way better for ideal anyway and they actually handle the regional compliance stuff without these random checkout crashes.
