Hi Everyone,

Folks from Paypal informed about a new change they are going to implement very soon. See https://www.paypal-marketing.com/emarketing/allnewcheckout/index.page

No changes in X-Cart's Paypal modules are required.

See their information below:

What: *PayPal is launching an advanced payment interface. *The new interface updates checkout and is faster and easier for consumers. *

Why are we doing this: Consumers want a consistent, fast and easy online PayPal experience. *Our research confirms that the new checkout interface outperforms the old. *

Benefits to merchants: *It’s easy for merchants to integrate with minimal effort. Just add a logo, color, order details (optional) – and it’s free. In most cases the channel partners will need to do some additional work around line item details.
*

PayPal is committed to helping merchants grow their business
We’ve invested millions of dollars and years of usability research to bring merchants an all new checkout experience on Website Payments Standard for their customers.
We’ve listened to merchants and buyer feedback and we’re making these changes based on both testing and the valuable insights we’ve gleaned from the people who use PayPal.
We’re aiming to roll out the new interface to all of PayPal’s checkout products over time so that buyers will experience the same checkout process no matter which payment solution the merchant employs.
By the time the holiday shopping season begins all purchases made on Website Payments Standard will have the new interface, so that customers will have a consistent checkout experience.

The new interface is designed to create a more consistent checkout flow that feels faster and more natural
In testing, consumers preferred the new checkout interface over the current checkout experience.
In an economic climate that is being driven by consumer preference, now is the time to ensure that businesses are catering to their customers’ needs.
The new interface helps merchants meet customer demand by offering a smoother experience that makes checkout interface look more natural on the merchant’s site.

Integration is free and easy
While no additional work is needed we recommend merchants make a few minimal changes to create a seamless experience for their customers.
Merchants have received step-by-step instructions for customizing their PayPal checkout interface. While not mandatory, these simple steps will allow merchants to offer the best possible checkout experience to their customers. Merchants will be able to optimize their site by:
Providing their logo – which they can do directly with PayPal
Picking a background color– which they can do directly with PayPal
Configuring checkout to pass the buyers' order details to PayPal
