Express Checkout Information
How It Works
1. After selecting products to purchase, your customers click Checkout with
PayPal on your
website.
2. They’re transferred to PayPal, where they select their payment method, as
well as the
correct shipping and billing address, then are returned to your website to
complete their
purchase.
3. PayPal automatically gives you the shipping address, email, and other
customer
information needed to fulfill your order.
With Express Checkout, your buyers finish their orders on your website, not
PayPal's, so you
can:
Get real time notification of successful payments.
Automate your internal business processes.
Ensure buyers make it to your final confirmation page.
Be notified that the buyer's address is confirmed, and ensure you're eligible
for coverage
under PayPal’s Seller Protection Policy.
FYI: Details of Instant Payment Notification (IPN) /
Payment Data Transfer (PDT)
IPN / PDT must be enabled in your PayPal account to use PayPal Pay
Professional.
1. Log in to
your PayPal account at
https://www.paypal.com.
2. Click the
Profile
subtab.
3. Click the
Instant Payment
Notification Preferences link
under the Selling
Preferences column on the
right.
3. Enter a
URL for IPN to return orders to. This URL must be https://www.yoursite.com/?view=checkout
(or http:// link if SSL is not installed).
Once activated, IPN will allow PayPal to communicate order
details back to your shopping cart system.
