Quick summary and practical next steps for (and everyone following): decide first whether you want a hosted/iframe checkout (cards and PayPal handled by PayPal servers) or a full on-site card solution. PayPal Payments Advanced is a hosted/iframe-style product (different from Payflow/Pro), so verify the product your merchant account provides before buying a module. Also prefer an up‑to‑date, official PrestaShop/marketplace module (check compatibility with your PrestaShop version and the module’s TLS/PHP requirements). (developer.paypal.com)

How authorizations work (important when choosing “authorize only” vs “sale/capture”): PayPal authorizations are valid for 29 days; PayPal recommends capturing within the 3‑day honor period and supports re‑authorizations and partial captures within that 29‑day window. That affects workflow — use “sale” if you want automatic capture at checkout, or “authorize” if you need to ship first and capture later (but plan your capture timing and tests). (developer.paypal.com)

A short sandbox test/capture workflow to follow before going live:

  1. Install the chosen PrestaShop PayPal module and connect sandbox API credentials.
  2. Create sandbox buyer + business accounts and run test purchases.
  3. Verify the checkout flow and, for authorizations, perform a manual capture from the order view (or from PayPal/Payflow Manager if your gateway uses that flow). If your module is official it will show the related order states (sale vs authorization) in the Back Office. (developer.paypal.com)

Quick troubleshooting checklist (common gotchas):

  • Verify your server can reach PayPal endpoints with TLS 1.2 (many failures are TLS/cURL related). You can test from the server with a curl TLS 1.2 request. 
    curl -Iv --tlsv1.2 https://api-m.paypal.com
  • If orders complete at PayPal but don’t appear in PrestaShop, check IPN/webhook configuration and module debug logs.
  • Confirm API credentials, currency settings, and that the module is allowed for the shop’s currency. (github.com)

Notes: ’s point about Standard vs Advanced is exactly the right first question; and were correct to discuss capture workflows — use the sandbox to confirm the capture behavior and ensure the module exposes the manual capture action you need before going live.

Mike,

I have one question.
Can I use both option?

Member Avatar for Mike2342

You can't use both option at a same time. So select any one option at a time.

Member Avatar for Matthew34

Thanks Mike,
I will try with Authorize only option.

Member Avatar for Mike2342

Yes, then it will be great.
