PayPal Smart Buttons
PayPal Smart Buttons are available on Cornerstone versions 2.6.0+ for merchants who have PayPal powered by Braintree or PayPal Express Checkout enabled on their store.
Theme developers can enable Smart Buttons on a custom Stencil theme by adding the required settings to the config.json file.
Merchants will have the ability to customize some style aspects of the PayPal payment buttons at checkout using Page Builder for stores that have PayPal powered by Braintree or PayPal Express Checkout enabled. To make PayPal Smart Buttons customizable with Page Builder, a theme developer will need to make its customization properties available by adding its schema to the schema.json file.
Enable Smart Buttons on Your Stencil Theme
Smart Buttons are included on Cornerstone versions 2.6.0+. If your theme does not already include Smart Buttons, append the paymentbuttons settings to the Settings object within your config.json file. See the code sample below.
