PayPal mentioned in source code of website

Hi everyone,

I hope you can help me with this. I have an issue within the source code of my website:

Issue
In my Wix Studio I did not include any payment options. The website is not a shop and I did not install any shop related apps. Apparently though, PayPal is mentioned in the source code of the website.

The code shows the following values:

  • “specs.stores.HideBillingFormForPayPalAndManualNotBrazil”:“true”
  • “specs.ecom.DeprecatePaypalOnlyFlowInCart”:“true”
  • “specs.stores.HideBillingFormForPayPalAndManualNotBrazil”:“true”
  • “specs.ecom.DeprecatePaypalOnlyFlowInCart”:“true”
  • “specs.thunderbolt.inMemoryPaypalAuthToken”:true

What I’m trying to do is to erase that code bit so that PayPal is not mentioned in the source code. I am trying this by working with the settings in Wix Studio. Though, I haven’t been successful yet.

Questions

  1. What does this bit of code mean? Apparently, it has something to do with
  2. How does this code get generated in the website?
  3. How do I get rid of the source code? Is there an option I need to tick in my Wix Studio settings?

Additional information

In the payment setting of my Wix Studio I did not include PayPal as payment option; see the next screenshot. The German word “Verbinden” means "connect” as in connect PayPal as payment option.

I did not install the Wix Stores app nor anything similar, like booking or order apps.

Many thanks for your input.

Best

Those lines you’re seeing aren’t related to anything you’ve manually added - they’re part of Wix’s internal framework (“specs”) used to manage and test features across the platform.

They don’t indicate that PayPal is enabled or active on your site, and they don’t have any impact on how your live website functions. The code is generated automatically and isn’t something that can (or needs to) be removed from the source.

Since you haven’t connected PayPal or added a store app, there’s nothing else you need to change.

Hope that helps clear things up! :slight_smile:

Hi Noah, many thanks for your reply and it solves my question. One more thing though. Could you please explain in a few more details what exactly that bit of code does (for my understanding)?

Many thanks

If you’re not using PayPal, the chances are that code’s not doing anything.

Wix provides a lot of features, and sometimes includes code so the feature is available if you need it. If you’re not using it, that code isn’t used.
