What Is PayPal Express Checkout Shopify?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 1:09 am

PayPal Express Checkout is a Shopify feature that allows customers to pay for their orders using their PayPal account. This feature is available to all Shopify stores.

When customers choose to pay with PayPal at checkout, they are redirected to the PayPal website to complete their payment. Once the payment is complete, they are redirected back to your shop to finish their order.

If you’re using Shopify Payments, then you can offer your customers the option to pay with PayPal Express Checkout in addition to any other payment methods that you’ve enabled.

PRO TIP: PayPal Express Checkout for Shopify is a gateway that allows you to take payments through PayPal. It is important to note that this gateway is not affiliated with Shopify, and as such, may not be as reliable. There have been reports of issues with payments not going through, and of customer service being unresponsive. If you are considering using this gateway, it is important to do your research and make sure that it will work for your needs.

To enable PayPal Express Checkout:

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Payments. 2. In the Payment providers section, click Edit next to PayPal.

3. Check the box for Enable PayPal Express Checkout. 4. Click Save.

Now that you’ve enabled PayPal Express Checkout, you can start using it to accept payments from your customers!
