Updating

Automatic updates should work generally smoothly, but we still recommend you back up your site.

If you encounter issues with the PayPal buttons not appearing after an update, purge your website cache. Caching or JavaScript minification can impact PayPal Payments and should be disabled for the PayPal scripts or payment-related pages.

WP-CLI Installation:
wp plugin install woocommerce-paypal-payments --activate
