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.

tried to set up paypal express……nightmare for those of us who are useless on pc’s!
Hey Steve. I just updated the instructions. Please let me know if you need anymore help.
hi rishi.. I couldnt find the “API signature” on my paypal account. Do i need it? What should i do? I followed your steps and they are very useful! thank you very much I finally got API username and password.
Thanks again!
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”.
Express Checkout makes it easier for your customers to pay and allows you to accept PayPal while retaining control of the buyer and overall checkout flow
1. Checks out from the shopping cart page
2. Provides shipping information
3. Chooses a payment option and provides billing and payment information
4. Reviews the order and pays
5. Receives an order confirmation
In an Express Checkout flow, a buyer still checks out at the beginning of the flow and pays on your site; however, the buyer does not reenter shipping, billing, or payment information, because it is already available from PayPal. This simplifies and expedites the checkout process. The buyer can then proceed to review the order on your site. You can include other necessary checkout steps. You can also up-sell to the buyer on your Review Order page.
