Overview
With PayPal 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-entering it all again on your website. This makes checkout quicker and easier, thereby increasing conversion rates. 
This guide covers the implementation of PayPal Express checkout on BPD websites.
