Introduction to PayPal Express Checkout

When you use the PayPal Express Checkout services:

nCybersource handles the interface with PayPal Express Checkout and ensures that the interface is secure. No additional security key management is required on your part.

nYou manage your PayPal Express Checkout payments in the Cybersource Business Center as you would other payment types. You can search for the payment, view its details, and apply a credit just as you would with credit card payments.

nYou use a single set of Cybersource reports to manage all your types of payments, including your PayPal Express Checkout payments.

Because your customer completes the order on your web site rather than on the PayPal web site, you can:

nReceive real-time notification of successful payments.

nEnable your customers to be directed to your web site’s final confirmation page.

nReceive notification from Cybersource that the customer's address has been confirmed and that you are eligible for coverage under the PayPal Seller Protection Policy, if you are enrolled in this PayPal plan. For more information about the features that Cybersource supports, see the Seller Protection Policy information in Disputes and Chargebacks.

nReceive the PayPal order ID, authorization ID, and capture ID from Cybersource.

PayPal requires you to provide two different ways for your customers to access PayPal Express Checkout. These methods are described in the following table.
