    Please see the attached image.

    Is it possible to change the requirement of 4 digits to 2 digits for the credit card expiration year?
    We would like to have it a 2 digit field like like the expiration month. i.e. 08/19 instead of 08/2019.

    We are using paypal payments pro.

    Thanks!

    Hi Evan,

    For PayPal Pro API request, it is mandatory to pass 6 single-byte alphanumeric characters, including leading zero, in the format MMYYYY for the expiry date. So we can’t change it for now. It PayPal will allow 4 characters in future then we can definitely implement it in our plugin.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Regards,
    Patrik

    Patrik,

    That makes sense. What about changing the expiry date text fields to drop down menus instead? Is that something I can do on my end? The problem is that it’s kind of confusing when typing in the expiration month as 2 digits and then the year as 4 digits.
    Thanks.

    It is currently not possible without modifying the core files of the plugin. If you modify it yourself then make sure when updating the plugin you have to redo the changes as all the changes will be lost. Also, the name value must be same if you make changes else it will break the plugin’s flow.

    Let me know if you need any help.

    Regards,
    Patrik
