How do I set up PayPal Checkout?
You only need to integrate PayPal Checkout to your business once to start accepting payments securely. If your business is set up with an eCommerce provider, you can get the latest checkout integration and have it running on your website in a few simple steps.
Alternatively, you can directly integrate PayPal Checkout by selecting either Standard, or Advanced integration to suit your business needs. No matter which integration you choose, PayPal Checkout will intelligently present the most relevant payment types to your customers.
Here’s a rundown of the mechanics for each direct integration type:
