Enable accepting Venmo payments via PayPal integration

[gced71]

While Venmo does appear as a payment option on our Sandbox environment, the same option does not appear on Live. Does anyone know what is the process to get it enabled? (as it shows on the Sandbox I am assuming this should not require a code change but more of a configuration somewhere)

TIA

Good day @gced71,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

Render the Pay in 4 button in a one-time payment integration by passing enable-funding=venmo in the PayPal JavaScript SDK. For details, see enable funding.

Thank you very much for the suggestion. We are going to implement it and hopefully it will resolve the issue.

I am still not sure why we see different behavior on Sandbox and in Live. Are the default enabled/disabled payment methods different on the two environment?

I'm curious about how this is working for you. It's unclear how Venmo and PayPal work together. My onboarded sellers have to have a Paypal account, but I can't see how they can accept Venmo payments. Does this work for you?
