The problem

Why this matters

PayPal has phased out the PayPal Standard payment method in favor of newer solutions like PayPal Checkout.

However, many OpenCart store owners still require this legacy integration to maintain their existing payment setup.

Without this extension, businesses that previously used PayPal Standard would need to migrate to a different payment method, which may not always be convenient.
