Thanks! FYI, we created this task https://dev.blesta.com/browse/CORE-4440

OK, so the problem is that there's a change in CKEditor in Blesta 5.0+. The HTML code that launches the descriptions are removed by CKEditor when you go into the package. In the package description, the following code is appended to the text of the description: $viewmorelink = "<a class='mod_view_more' href='javascript&#58;void(0);' onclick=\"window.open('$sslfeaturelink','null','location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,addressbar=0,titlebar=no,directories=no,channelmode=no,status=no');\"> View Full Product Details</a>"; To fix it, you need to wrap the <a class=...> ... </a> in the following: <div class="raw-html-embed"> .... </div> Or just make sure you're using the "Insert HTML" block for that set of code.

Thank you for your feedback Saturn, very interesting and much appreciated. I note that PayPal has in the last few weeks announced a fee hike for US customers. It is probably only a matter of time before they do the same for other markets also. I have been considering swapping to Square.

"However, these lower fees are currently only available to the UK and some other countries (France, Spain, Ireland and Greece are countries that I checked, which get lower fees, but the US does not get lower fees)." Thats a 4th. reason NOT to use PayPal checkout. How can PayPal be trusted not to increase rates in the future. Stripe has lower rates than PayPal, and better integration - at least in my experience with WHMCS.

I can say from my own experience in the UK market, a better way to save money on PayPal commissions is NOT to use PayPal checkout. A better way is to get a wise.com account which includes UK Bank account details, as a high percentage of people in the UK will pay to the UK Bank account with zero commissions involved. Secondly PayPal never kept their promise of the lower 1.2% rate. After I implemented PayPal checkout in WHMCS there was not 1 single payment in 3 months where PayPal did not continue to charge the higher rate. After I inquired they clarified that in practice the lower rate would only apply to guest checkout payments where card details were entered. If a person used their PayPal account with a card as the payment source the lower rate would not apply. Thirdly due to the shopping cart process being changed so that people got sent to PayPal before even seeing a choice of paying by Internet Banking, or new customers filling in their details, the commissions I was paying to PayPal actually INCREASED, and I lost a percentage of new customers / business.

Thanks for the detailed post. If we implement PayPal Checkout, it would be as a new gateway and wouldn't directly replace PayPal Payments Standard. Users would be able to decide which to install and use. Whether it's technically possible will require a little more research and detailed review of the API documentation. It looks like I created a task recently so we could look into this, per CORE-4084.
