Should We Migrate to PayPal Advanced Checkout?

[hirale]

Current Situation

PayPal has stated:

Important: NVP/SOAP is a legacy integration method. We accept new integrations and support existing integrations, but there are newer solutions. If you're starting an integration, we recommend our latest solutions.

Proposed Change: PayPal Advanced Checkout

Key Benefits:

1. Modern RESTful API: Easier to work with than NVP.
2. Better User Experience: Mobile-optimized checkout.
3. Smart Payment Buttons: Dynamically show relevant payment options.
4. Improved Security and PCI Compliance: Latest standards, potentially reduced scope.
5. Developer-Friendly: Better documentation and tools.
6. Future-Proof: Access to PayPal's newest features.
7. Unified System: One integration for multiple payment methods (PayPal, Venmo, credit cards).
