What Is Paypal Express Payment?

PayPal - A Payment Gateway for Online Banking

Customers can pay with credit card or personal account from the security of their personal accounts with the help of the Express Checkout feature. The customer is directed to the secure site to complete the payment. The customer is returned to your store to finish the checkout process.

The familiar PayPal button has been reported to increase sales, thanks to the choice of Express Checkout. Customers with current PayPal accounts can make a purchase in a single step by clicking the Check out with PayPal button. Express Checkout can be used with one of the other solutions.

If you already accept credit cards online, you can offer Express Checkout to attract new customers who prefer to pay with a credit card. Only credit card numbers that are recommended by PayPal are used when testing the configuration. When you are ready to go live, you should return to the configuration and set the Sandbox Mode to No.

Merchants need to ask for technical support to enable billing agreements. The billing agreements are enabled for your merchant account after the billing agreement Signup parameter is enabled. A billing agreement is a sales agreement between a merchant and customer that is approved by the payment service.

The Billing Agreement payment option is only available for customers who have already signed a billing agreement with your company. The payment system issues a unique reference ID to identify each order that is associated with the agreement after it is approved by PayPal. There is no limit to the number of billing agreements a customer can set up with your company.

IPN is not synced with actions on your website

IPN is not synchronized with actions on your website, which is why it is not processed immediately by PayPal. IPN messages can be lost or delayed if internet connection is not 100% reliable. The IPN service automatically sends new messages.

The service can send back messages for up to 4 days. The checkout flow should not wait for the IPN message to finish before it can complete. Processing can be delayed if the checkout flow is dependent on receiving an IPN message.

You should make sure your checkout flow is configured to handle a delay. You can use Instant Payment Notification in countries where the payment is accepted by PayPal. Currency conversion and payments from another country are both fees.
