There could be several reasons why the checkout process is not working on your client's Webflow site that only uses PayPal as a payment provider. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

Integration Issues:

Make sure that the PayPal integration is set up correctly in Webflow. Double-check the API credentials (Client ID and Secret) and ensure they are entered accurately.
Ensure that the correct PayPal integration method is selected (e.g., Website Payments Standard or PayPal Checkout).
Verify that the correct PayPal currency is selected and matches with the currencies accepted by the PayPal account.

Technical Issues:

Check if there are any conflicting custom code or scripts on the checkout page that may be interfering with the PayPal integration.
Ensure that the checkout form's fields are properly set up and linked to the correct PayPal fields (e.g., name, email, shipping address).
Verify that the necessary checkout form elements (e.g., submit button) are correctly configured for the PayPal integration.

PayPal Account Issues:

Confirm that the PayPal account associated with the website is active and in good standing.
Check if the PayPal account has any specific limitations or restrictions that may affect the checkout process.
Ensure that the PayPal account has all the necessary permissions and settings enabled for processing payments through Webflow.

Testing and Debugging:

Test the checkout process thoroughly by placing test orders with different scenarios (e.g., different products, quantities, shipping addresses).
Monitor the browser console for any error messages related to the PayPal integration and address them accordingly.
Contact PayPal support for assistance if the issue persists after trying the above steps.

Remember to always test any changes or updates on a staging or development version of the website before making them live to avoid potential disruptions to the checkout process.
