Smart Payment Buttons Problem

[Hareth14]

Hello.

First I want to ask about using Smart Payment Buttons, is it safe 100% ?

I have been using them for a while suddenly today i see a problem that the buttons are not loading.

Uncaught Error: Attempted to load sdk version 5.0.63 on page, but version unknown already loaded.

To load this sdk alongside the existing version, please specify a different namespace in the script tag, e.g. , then use the paypal_sdk namespace in place of paypal in your code.

Uncaught TypeError: paypal.Buttons is not a function

Having the same problem as of two days ago.

Attempted to load sdk version 5.0.65 on page, but version unknown already loaded

Using this as my script tag src (client-id removed)

https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?currency=GBP&client-id=

Had the same problem. Turns out it was due to having an element on the page with the html ID of 'paypal' - in my case the container for the form.

Thank you!  This solved the problem for me.  I had an HTML element with the id "paypal" on my page, which the JS didn't like.   You'd think such an important detail like that would be included in the documentation.

I solved the problem like this :

1. Added "data-namespace" attribute to the script tag that loads PayPal SDK :

<script src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=AfxLL8RXpurHInY6zjcDA6imSlrFGkgDs1nCArTInsxc-TZNfoPjAr6T43Tu..." data-namespace="paypal_sdk" ></script>

2. Setup the transaction :

paypal_sdk.Buttons().render('#paypal-button-container');
