The current release v1.1.7.5 does not have the in context,
is there an updated milestone?

[angelleye]

This issue was added to our 1.2.1 milestone, so no, it's not available yet.

We're working to get 1.2 finished up and then we'll be moving into 1.2.1.

[angelleye]

We're hoping to have it done much sooner than that. Can't say for sure, though. Sorry.

Just checking in again as my manager has asked for an ETA on in-context checkout with PPE. Any news?

[angelleye]

Still churning a bit on this, but we're prioritizing, and you can see this has been given the "high priority" label here on GitHub. We're working on one of the other high priority items now, and as soon as it's done we'll be moving to this.

@kcppdevelopers This documentation includes 8 integration steps for In Context including the step for dropping the JS into the page(s) with the PayPal Express button on it:

I think you'll find that most of the steps are already done since we already have Express Checkout itself integrated. We just need to add the javascript to make it work like In context.

Looking through this changelog, it appears you have added In-Context and that it's deemed as working correctly. But I got a separate email notification with this: "• In-Context is not working from the WC checkout page regular list of gateways." So I'm confused...unless you meant "now" instead of "not". Either way, I downloaded the latest here from Git and tested In-Context checkout, but it doesn't seem to be working. I noticed that it's not yet added as an update to the WP plugin directory, so maybe I need to wait a little longer? Thanks for continuing to work on it.

Hi Rob,

Sorry for the confusion. In Context is working for EC buttons on the product page, the cart page, the mini-cart widget, and the top of the checkout page. These are considered "Express Checkout Shortcut" because the WooCommerce checkout page is skipped entirely.

If you use the WC checkout page and Express Checkout within the regular list of gateways there, In-Context will not be used. This decision was made based on discussions with PayPal and following WooCommerce standards.

Have you tried using any of the Shortcut options?

@angelleye Is it supposed to be changed in the future? There is no option to enable the in-context feature in the checkout page?
In my browser dev tools, I can see checkout.js is used, but in-context is not working, and there's no error.

@frecklesKarin I'm sorry for the delay responding. We do have plans to get In Context working from the WC checkout page, but it was being a little tricky with the way WC order management works, so we curbed it for the last release. We're going to try to get this done i our 1.5.0 update.
