BNPL Integration, is it possible to activate Buy Now Pay later based on Seller user choice?

As for subject, BNPL Integration, is it possible to activate Buy Now Pay later based on user choice? so dynamically, not always ON or OFF for everyone

Not possible. Pay Later feature is hard coded into PayPal Checkout integration and is offered dynamically/automatically based on eligibility of merchant and buyer’s own creditworthiness. Not finding anything in the documentation that supports an individual off/on feature. Nor is it in our account settings to turn on/off financing as we please. Merchants can in addition, choose whether to render one-time Pay Later buttons or display Pay Later messaging.

If merchant does not want Pay Later, don’t use PayPal Checkout integration and use PayPal Invoicing, PayPal.me, have buyers use the Send Money tab with goods and services option. Using Pay Later as a payment method is optional to buyers, they don’t have to use it, even if they are eligible.

Hi @sharpiemarker , first of all thanks for the quick reply, really appreciated. So, I think what I would like is not possible, if I understood. I'd like to make you an example of my use case, to be 100% sure that's time to look for a different solution. Imagine that I'm eBay and I have sellers using my platform to sell their products, I'd like for them to decide if they are happy to accept Pay later payments or not, keeping in mind that even if they allow it, then if that button is gonna show or not is gonna depend on Paypal requirements (eligibility and creditworthiness)

Good day @Adam307 ,

Thank you for contacting PayPal community.

Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.

The buttons that display are decided automatically, based on a range of factors, including:

• Buyer country

• Device type

• Funding sources the buyer has opted to see.

As a result, each buyer might see a unique combination of buttons. Pay Later offers differ by country and have different buttons. To prevent certain buttons from displaying, see Disable funding in the JavaScript SDK reference.

As a result, each buyer might see a unique combination of buttons. This is expected behaviour of the product. 

By default, funding source eligibility is determined based on a variety of factors. Enable funding can be used to ensure a funding source is rendered, if eligible.

I request to please contact your website developer or the support of your third party platform eCommerce to refer the below detailed guide link to deactivate/remove the "particular" payment method as per your requirement.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

Chiranjeevi
