If, after configuring X-Cart to work with a certain PayPal solution, you decide to change the PayPal solution being used (for example, if you wish to switch from PayPal Payments Standard to Express Checkout), you can easily do so:

  1. In your X-Cart store's Admin area, go to the 'Payment methods' page (Settings->Payment methods).
  2. In the list of your store's payment methods, locate the name of the PayPal payment method you use currently and click the Configure link next to it. This opens X-Cart's PayPal configuration page.
    Note: If you use PayPal Payments Advanced, PayPal Payments Pro (via Payflow API or PayPal API) or Payflow Link, you will find that the list of payment methods on the 'Payment methods' page contains two entries for PayPal. One of them will be your payment option allowing your customers to pay you using a PayPal account via the Express Checkout button (by default, the name of this method is displayed as 'PayPal'); the other one will be your method for processing credit and debit card payments (by default, the name of this method is displayed as 'Credit or Debit card', and the name of the specific solution that powers this payment method is provided on the 'Payment system' line). Provided that you see two PayPal payment methods in your store's Payment methods list, to access the PayPal configuration page you should use the Configure link displayed next to the 'Credit and Debit card' entry.
  3. Make sure the PayPal configuration page displays solutions for your country: select the country in which you do business from the Country selector at the top of the page and click Update.
  4. Choose the PayPal solution that you wish to use instead of the one used currently.
  5. Configure the selected solution (See Adjusting PayPal Configuration Settings in X-Cart).
  6. Click the Update button to save the changes. Your PayPal payment method(s) on the 'Payment methods' page will be updated.
