What is Express Checkout?
Express Checkout allows your customers to complete transactions in very few steps. It lets them use shipping and billing information stored securely at PayPal to check out, so they don’t have to re-enter it on your site.

How it works.
After selecting products to purchase, your customers click Checkout with PayPal on your cart page with out needing to fill out the first part of the checkout process.
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 purchases.
PayPal automatically gives you the shipping address, email, and other customer information needed to fulfill your order.

How much does it cost?
Express Checkout requires an additional subscription from PayPal. To sign up or learn more about Express Checkout please visit:
