Description Agustín Moyano 2019-06-26 04:05:08 UTC 
PayPal should be treated as any other payment plugin, to unify treatment of payment methods.
Comment 1 Katrin Fischer 2020-09-14 15:08:01 UTC 
I think we might want to do some deprecation steps here first. 

Suggestion, for 20.11:
- Deprecate the plugin in the release notes
- Add information about deprecation to the Paypal system preferences
- Add an entry to the "system information" tab

For 21.05:
- Remove the code and enforce the switch
Comment 2 Jonathan Druart 2020-11-11 08:59:19 UTC 
Where are we here? Should the deprecation be announced in 20.11?
Comment 3 Martin Renvoize (ashimema) 2020-11-16 13:48:43 UTC 
I wonder if we aught to either grab the plugin as part of the upgrade if the syprefs are set.. or at the very least highlight to the user as upgrade time that they'll need to grab the plugin.. (and make sure we copy the config to somewhere so they can easily use it in the plugin config when they come to use that route)
Comment 4 Tomás Cohen Arazi (tcohen) 2020-11-16 13:50:00 UTC 
Lets put a bold message about it being deprecated, in the release notes, and the about page!.

Do you have time to do it? A few more strings are not bad right now, but should be added very soon.

Comment 13 Kyle M Hall (khall) 2021-05-06 15:44:04 UTC 
Moving to Passed QA. RM can ask for another signer if need be. I tested thoroughly. Test end-to-end functionality with the PayPal plugin, which went perfectly. Also installed other plugins to ensure they continued to function, which they did.
