What is PayPal Express Checkout?
 |
May 10, 2008 |
PayPal Express Checkout is a service that allows your customers to pay using a PayPal account instead of a credit card. They can make purchases without entering billing, shipping, and credit card information since that information is already stored with PayPal.
Does it cost extra to use PayPal Express Checkout or do I need a special account?
PayPal Express Checkout can be used for free with any PayPal Business account, which you must have anyway in order to use eCommerce in your store.

Hey Chana Plume - The API Signature should be right by the API Username and Password information. You should see this information right after you click “View API Certificate”.
