Connecting PayPal will automatically enable PayPal products for all customers. However, like all payment methods, PayPal can be disabled within the Control Panel and/or at the individual customer level.
To disable for all customers: Navigate to Control Panel > Customer Defaults. Under the General tab, there is a Yes/No switch labeled ‘Allow APM Payments’ (APM = Alternate Payment Methods), this will enable or disable PayPal for all customers.
To disable for select customers:
Option 1: Turn PayPal OFF globally, and then turn it ON for certain customers.
Option 2: Turn PayPal ON globally and then turn it OFF for certain customers.
Once you've selected the option that works for you, adjust your global setting, then open the first customer who needs to be adjusted. Under Advanced Options, you have the same APM toggle that allows PayPal to be allowed.
