Checkout Process with PayPal Express Checkout

PayPal Express Checkout lets your web store customers pick their payment method at various points in the checkout process, helping lower cart abandonment.

The PayPal Express Checkout button appears in the shopping cart and address information page. If customers pick PayPal on the payment methods page, they'll see the Pay with PayPal button, with Express Checkout functionality, on the last checkout page of checkout.

Customers click the PayPal Express Checkout button and are temporarily redirected to the PayPal site to confirm their payment and address details.
