Why PayPal Checkout?
PayPal Checkout gives your customers more ways to pay securely, without leaving your store. When a shopper chooses PayPal at checkout, a secure PayPal window opens where they can:
- ✅ Log in and pay with their PayPal account
- ✅ Pay by credit or debit card as a guest (no account required)
- ✅ Choose Pay in 4 (where available) to split their purchase into four interest-free payments
As soon as the payment is confirmed, the window closes, the order is created and marked as paid, and your customer receives their confirmation email.
This smooth process is a big improvement over older PayPal integrations like Website Payments Standard, which could leave unpaid or abandoned orders in your system. With PayPal Checkout, only confirmed payments create orders — keeping your records clean and accurate.

One-Click Onboarding
As an official PayPal partner, Spiffy Stores now supports automatic onboarding. This means you can connect your PayPal account to your store with just a single click — no technical knowledge or manual credential setup required.
All you need is a PayPal Business account. If you don’t have one yet, you can sign up during the onboarding flow. If you’re using a personal PayPal account, you’ll be prompted to upgrade by adding your business details.
Migrating from Older PayPal Integrations
If you’re currently using PayPal Website Payments Standard, PayPal Express, or even a manually configured PayPal Checkout, we strongly recommend migrating to the new version. You’ll unlock all of the benefits above while creating a faster, simpler checkout for your customers.
The migration is straightforward:
- Note down your current PayPal settings.
- Deactivate your existing PayPal integration.
- Enable the new PayPal Checkout in your Spiffy Store Toolbox.
- Follow the one-click connection process to link your PayPal account.
That’s it — your store will be ready to accept payments through the new PayPal Checkout.
