Hello @christopherplus
The option to disable PayPal for subscription products was intentionally removed with the new settings UI. The new logic assumes that if WooCommerce Subscriptions is active, you want to process them through PayPal using either the Vaulting flow or the PayPal Subscriptions API, depending on your account type.
When the “Save PayPal and Venmo” option is enabled, Vaulting is used for subscriptions. When this option is disabled, the PayPal Subscriptions Mode is automatically active. This simplification is meant to ensure that one of the two supported subscription modes is always available without overlapping settings.
If you prefer to fully restore the earlier behavior, you can use a small filter snippet or an external helper plugin that mimics “disable PayPal subscriptions” mode. We can create such a plugin, just let us know.
add_filter( 'woocommerce_paypal_payments_subscription_mode_disabled', '__return_true' );
In case of any questions, let us know.
Kind Regards,
Krystian
