We are using wooocommerce with wordpress and one method of payment is paypal.
Customers frequently receive this error paying with paypal standard: "Please try again later". It happens I believe because the customer was logged in to paypal recently and paypal is unable to connect to their account so issues this error. If the cache is cleared the transaction works. Often the customer chooses a different way to pay instead. It is frustrating for them.
This also happens with another client using a custom paypal system also using paypal standard. This is definitely a Paypal Standard bug. Although i believe I have seen it with Paypal Express as well. I really hope paypal corrects this. If anyone knows a fix, we would be grateful. thank you.
