Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU !
Thank you from bringing (some) sanity back in Woocommerce (which now is almost 30MB in size).
I can now setup my PayPal gateway in 5 seconds. I don't care if they get redirected to PayPal, in fact I prefer it, it makes my customer feel safer knowing that the actual transaction is happening at the PayPal site...
If I forgot to mention it before... THANK YOU !!!

This plugin is simple and allows me to use PayPal without the new buggy WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin.
