PayPal button doesn't show unless Checkout is reloaded (295)

[metinucar]

Describe the Bug

We have PayPal and Stripe. We'd like to enable PayPal for US, CA and PR and Stripe for the RoW. We're using woocommerce_available_payment_gateways hook to enable / disable providers based on county. This works as expected and it toggles correct payment provider. But for PayPal the yellow pay button doesn't show up until the user reloads the checkout page.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_available_payment_gateways', 'payment_gateway_disable_countries' );
if ( ! function_exists( 'payment_gateway_disable_countries' ) ) {
  function payment_gateway_disable_countries( $gateways ) {

    if ( is_admin() ) {
      return $gateways;
    }

    if ( ! is_object( WC()->customer ) OR ! method_exists( WC()->customer, 'get_billing_country' ) ) {
      return $gateways;
    }

    $paypal_countries = array('US', 'CA', 'PR');

    if ( is_wc_endpoint_url( 'order-pay' ) ) { // Pay for order page
      $order = wc_get_order( wc_get_order_id_by_order_key( $_GET[ 'key' ] ) );
      $country = $order->get_billing_country();
    } else { // Cart page
      $country = WC()->customer->get_billing_country();
    }

    // Disable PayPal
    if ( ! in_array( $country, $paypal_countries ) ) {
      if ( isset( $gateways['ppcp-gateway'] ) ) {
        unset( $gateways['ppcp-gateway'] );
      }
    } else {
      if ( isset( $gateways['stripe'] ) ) {
        unset( $gateways['stripe'] );
      }
    }

    return $gateways;
  }
}

To Reproduce

1. Go to 'Checkout'
2. If the billing country is not US, CA or Canada click on 'Country selector' and select any of these countries
3. Now Stripe is disabled and PayPal is enabled. However the PayPal button is not shown.
4. Reload Checkout and now PayPal button is shown

Screenshots

Correct behaviour: Billing country is not US, CA or PR. Stripe is enabled and PayPal is disabled.

Wrong behaviour: Billing country is US. Stripe is disabled and PayPal is enabled. But PayPal button doesn't show. Even after filling all the checkout fields, the button doesn't show.

After reloading the page, the PayPal button shows.

Hi @fullaineven,

@InpsydeNiklas shared a snippet with me in WordPress Forums and it worked for us after a few small tweaks. Hope it works for you.
