Excerpt

With PayPal's Express checkout, users are able to complete their purchase in fewer steps. Customers can use the delivery and billing information they have stored with PayPal rather than re-enter them on your website. This makes checkout quicker and more frictionless.

Info
For testing on your Stage site, use the sandbox environment credentials noted here. Please see the Braintree Payments documentation if your site is using PayPal as part of Braintree Payments. Contact Commerce Vision Support if you require assistance with this.


2. Position the PayPal button on your site for Paypal express checkout

If PayPal is enabled on your site, at the Checkout page, it will be offered as a payment option along with other options. Clicking the PayPal button will take the buyer to the PayPal site for payment processing.

However, you can position the PayPal button strategically elsewhere for express checkout. When your customer clicks on the button at these locations, they can express checkout by bypassing the checkout page. The button can be displayed in the Shopping Cart and/or on the Product Detail page. Examples of each are shown below.

Validating Foreign Delivery Addresses from PayPal


Info

When a customer uses PayPal Express to pay for an order, the checkout page where they usually enter a valid delivery address is bypassed. Instead, the shipping address in the PayPal account is automatically transferred into the address fields as the delivery address. When the customer is returned to your site for final order confirmation, the system will perform a foreign address validation check. If the address is located in a country that has not been added in Settings ('Freight Country'), the address will be rejected. The customer will be informed that the delivery country is invalid.     


Offering PayPal to B2B Customers


Note
titleB2B Customers

In order to offer PayPal to your B2B customers, you must ensure the 'Credit Card Payments for Orders' flag is set to Yes at the individual customer level. This flag does not affect B2C users.

If the Customer Maintenance page shown below isn't visible to you in the CMS, please contact CV Support.
