With PayPal Express, users are able to complete the checkout process in very few steps. Customers can use the delivery and billing address information they have stored with PayPal, rather than re-entering it all again on your website. This makes checkout quicker, easier, and therefore more likely to be completed.

PayPal Express checkout can be implemented on BPD websites quickly and easily, using the guides below.  

Before beginning, have your PayPal Merchant credentials handy and ensure your CSS is up-to-date for PayPal Express:  

  1. Login to the CMS. 
  2. Navigate to Settings --> Settings.
  3. Select the PayPalExpress tab. 
  4. Populate the fields as follows: 
    1. PayPal Express Login URL = https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout
    2. PayPal Express Endpoint = https://api-3t.paypal.com/nvp
    3. PayPal Express Username = (Your PayPal Merchant username)
    4. PayPal Express Password = (Your PayPal Merchant password)
    5. PayPal Express Signature = (Your PayPal Merchant Signature)
  5. Click 'Update' to save.
