What is PayPal Express Checkout?
PayPal Express Checkout allows you to add the PayPal button to your site, showing customers that if they prefer to pay with their PayPal accounts rather than by credit card, then your website accepts those payments.
Express Checkout means that when people make their payment, they remain on your website rather than being re-directed to PayPal. You as the seller will also receive a notification when the buyer's address is confirmed and ensures that you are eligible for seller protection coverage (if the buyer is actually committing online fraud).
Why do people use PayPal to shop online?
Some people prefer to pay with PayPal because it means they don't have to enter their credit card details every time they make an online purchase. This makes shopping online quicker and safer.
