"PayPal wasn't available, please use another payment method".

I installed PayPal Express on my Shopify website and followed all the necessary steps but when you try check out using PayPal it says "PayPal wasn't available, please use another payment method". How do I fix this? Any help would be appreciated!

Good day @Jencatco,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

I would suggest to please try contacting your website developer or the support of Shopify to cross check the plugin/module issue. 

Steps to integrate PayPal Express Checkout with Shopify. 

1. Log in to your Shopify admin panel.
2. Click Settings.
3. Click Payments.
4. Select PayPal Express Checkout within the PayPal module.
5. Click Activate.
6. Once directed to a PayPal login page, log in to your PayPal account and click I Give Permission.
7. Click Back to Shopify.
8. Under Payment Authorization, select:
   • Automatically capture payments for orders (Immediate Sale).
   • Manually capture payment for orders (Authorize only).
9. Click Save.
