Requires the WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin with WooCommerce 10.9+ (which brings the Abilities API loader; implies WordPress 6.9+). Abilities are additionally gated behind the `woocommerce_paypal_payments_abilities_enabled` filter, which defaults to false, so a site admin or developer must explicitly enable it before any ability registers. Every ability requires the current user to have the 'manage_woocommerce' capability.
