To avoid customers experiencing an issue when checking out, we have disabled PayPal as a payment method for the duration of the outage on PayPal's end for all customers unless PayPal is the only payment method for the account.

We will monitor the situation with PayPal and will enable the payment method as soon as it's functional again.
We appreciate your patience during this incident and apologise for the disruption to our service.
