Hello,
I try to connect Paypal Pro with WooCommerce to my Wordpress site (https://www.dracoustics.com/). The PayPal is working, but not the PayPal pro. I got this error when I try to pass an order : Payment error: This transaction cannot be processed. The merchant's account is not able to process transactions.
I want to know if I need to make some changes in my Paypal account to make it work ?
Thank you.

Business account is fine but, eventually, it must be upgraded to Business PRO if you want to use PayPal PRO HSS.

Hi, in order to process PayPal PRO payments you need to have a PayPal PRO account. Check eventually with Customer Service
The error reported point to that: Error 10549
"The merchant account attempting the transaction cannot process direct payment transactions. For more information, contact PayPal."
