Magento Cart and Checkout redirects to https://www.paypal.com/webapps/hermes/bridge

Question

I have this really weird problem where if I go to my cart or to the checkout page, it redirects me to https://www.paypal.com/webapps/hermes/bridge.

There's no Paypal module enabled in my Magento site, but it just redirects to paypal.com/webapps/hermes/bridge which is really really weird. This just happened all of a sudden.

I have tried enabled then disabling the Paypal module, but it still redirects on the hermes bridge page. I hope somebody here encountered the same problem as I did.

(I cannot comment yet so i have to suggest edit. I have the exact same problem. Can you list out what all extensions are you using? If there are some common ones maybe we could isolate the culprit)

Answer 1

I had the same problem and fixed it.

The plugin IWD - One Page Checkout enables Paypal lightbox.

1) Go to System -> Settings -> IWD Extensions -> One Page Checkout

2) Disable "Enable Paypal Express Lightbox"
