PayPal Checkout adds PayPal as a payment method in your checkout. When the customer chooses PayPal as the payment option, they will click on the PayPal button which will create a modal dialog box enabling the customer to login to their PayPal account, or pay by credit card as a guest. From their PayPal account, the customer may also be presented with the option to choose PayIn 4 if they wish to make the purchase using PayPal's "buy now, pay later" scheme.
Once the payment has been confirmed from within PayPal, the dialog box is dismissed and the checkout continues by creating and processing the order. The order will be marked as paid, and the customer will receive an order notification email.
Note, this behaviour differs from the earlier PayPal payment methods such as Website Payments Standard, where a payment could be abandoned leaving an unpaid order in the system. PayPal Checkout, instead, only creates an order once payment has been confirmed by the customer.
In order to use PayPal Checkout, you will need to have a PayPal Business account. If you don't have a PayPal Business account, click here to sign up for a PayPal account, and then return to this page.
