We have the same problem as @stevenlavine

We currently have a temporary work around: https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/10499#issuecomment-326583156

I encounter the same issue in MCE 2.1.10.
Workaround is to enable "Billing Agreements".

This is still happening with 2.2.2 and 2.2.1 as pointed in https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/10499, why is it closed?

I am experiencing same issue with 2.2.2

I encountered the same issue after upgrading from 2.0.4 to 2.1.4.
I am using Paypal Plus plugin for Germany.
Before the upgrade it was working fine. After the upgrade I see only the cash method that I enabled, no PayPal iFrame at all.
I checked my PayPal Sandbox API calls and I can see the calls arriving fine.

any solution here?

[oviliz]

@salehawal , I believe this must be fixed since 2.2.4.

@oviliz just upgraded to 2.2.4, still payment method not showing

is it because the base currency ?

[matin73]

same issue on 2.2.5

[oviliz]

This is ridiculous if true... :(

2.2.4 Changelog says:
_PayPal Express Checkout now appears as a payment option on the Checkout page when the PayPal buttons are available on the shopping cart page. Previously, PayPal did not appear as a payment method on the Checkout page when the billing agreement was disabled, although the PayPal buttons were still available on the shopping cart page._

Was the Checkbox for the billing agreement set? (It has no help-text, so it could be mistaken for a payment option to have the customer pay by receiving a bill instead of instantly.)
