Hello,
Is there a way to send a request to paypal to know if an user is logged / has an opened session on paypal ?
The goal would be to display paypal buttons if that user is already logged in.
Thanks,

Hi @Hisaeri
Unfortunately, there is not a feature like this. Typically, if a user hasn't used PayPal or logged in previously, it would be beneficial to display the option so that they create an account and can use it again when they come back.
I hope that helps!
