We strongly encourage everyone using PayPal standard to use the recommended PayPal Payments extension instead, which is our full-stack solution (credit card processing, PayPal checkout, subscriptions, pay later options, etc).Īlthough PayPal Standard can be used with Subscriptions, it is also one of the most limited payment gateways.
