Just a heads up observation for people using e-commerce with Paypal Checkout.

Several clients have reported customers complaining recently because Paypal Checkout is not showing a Pay with Card option. This has always been a potential issue if Paypal suspects a fraudulent card for example but the increase lately seems to be linked to Cookie Consent. If the customer arrives at Paypal Checkout for the first time in a while and needs to give Cookie consent, the card option doesn’t show. Once they give Cookie consent, it appears. The problem of course is that some customers give up _before_ even looking at the cookie consent notice.

I have no idea if something has started triggering this issue recently where it didn’t happen before, but clients are certainly experiencing loss of sales. I am personally encouraging customers to use Stripe but am also adding a note to their websites telling customers to agree to cookies when asked.

I should add this is not an easy issue to replicate. I usually see the pay by card option before I have accepted cookies. However, when I don’t get the pay by card option, accepting cookies seems to fix it.
