    PayPal Checkout provides users with a simple and secure checkout experience that doesn’t require them to navigate away from a website or mobile app to make a payment.

    New features like Smart Payment Buttons automatically display payment methods, such as PayPal Credit, making it easier for users to complete payments.

    If you select "Sell Products" and click "Continue," you will be prompted to create your products, coupons (optional), shipping (optional), and tax (optional) in the next step.

    You can also add images, quantity, and other options to your products in this step.

    If you select Collect Donations or User Defined Amount, there is no next step. Your integration will be complete.

    Funding sources:

    Funding sources, such as PayPal Credit and Card Payments, appear for users dynamically, based on their location and cookies. If you would like to disable a funding source, you can do so in the Additional Gateway Settings section at the bottom of the PayPal Checkout Integration menu.

    Note: Venmo will be displayed automatically to eligible consumers and cannot be enabled/disabled.
