Page History

Your site can offer and manage PayPal checkout and express options within Braintree Payments. This means PayPal payments can be accepted under the Braintree tab during checkout and PayPal Express options can be controlled through Braintree settings.  All PayPal transactions processed through the Braintree gateway will be integrated in your Braintree Control Panel. NOTE - You will still need to establish a PayPal merchant account separately as payment processing fees will be charged by PayPal. Braintree does not charge fees for handling PayPal transactions. 

If enabled, PayPal settings in Braintree Payments settings control the PayPal options your website offers. Your site can include one or all of these PayPal options:

• PayPal Checkout under the Braintree Payments 'Payment Methods' tab during the checkout process.  Vaulting can be enabled to save the PayPal account details for future use without requiring your customer to be present during the transaction or to re-authenticate with PayPal. NOTE - Vaulting is not compatible with Pay in 4. If it is enabled, Pay in 4 will not display to the customer.

  In the Payment panel during checkout, 'PayPal' displays as an option under Payment Methods.   The User clicks on PayPal to display a PayPal button.  The User clicks the PayPal button for the secure PayPal login window to display.  The User logs into their PayPal account and selects from available payment options. After payment selection has been approved, they are returned to your website. The PayPal account with login ID is displayed.  The User clicks Process Payment to complete payment for the order. If 'Allow Vault PayPal' is enabled, a successful PayPal account will be vaulted for future purchases.

  
  

• PayPal Express options. These are PayPal payment methods that appear via buttons on the product and/or cart pages. They are 'express' because they allow the customer to submit their order there and then without going through the usual checkout process. Express options include PayPal Checkout and Pay in 4 (PayPal's Buy Now, Pay Later). 

  NOTE - Adding PayPal Express through Braintree settings replaces the use of separate PayPal Express settings.
