Limitations
1. PayPal cannot accept file uploads, PDF files, or custom fields.
2. PayPal cannot accept negative numbers or discounts from the SCC coupon feature.
You will need to give a coupon code to your users for them to enter it on the PayPal end.
| -> You can enable the "Combine items into a single item" to fix this issue.
Workaround
Do you need to ask for customer details or custom user input (dates/additional information/etc.)? If yes, we recommend you link to WooCommerce instead of Stripe, then install the Stripe module for WooCommerce. After that, you can add a custom field to WooCommerce to gather your needed data.
