Important Notice regarding the new PayPal Checkout integration
At this time, it is not possible to create subscriptions with the new PayPal Checkout module. We expect this to be resolved in the very near future once PayPal makes further refinements to their onboarding automation. We will deliver a maintenance update as soon as these changes are available. In the meantime we recommend continuing to use the existing PayPal integration in cases where the majority of your business is subscription/recurring in nature.
