Choose PayPal Checkout for a seamless shopping experience

One great way to expand your business and grow your revenue is by creating a seamless shopping experience for your customers. And the most crucial point in that user journey? The checkout process. Hence, integrating a payment solution on your website that allows your customers to pay you easily and securely is key.

PayPal has a range of payment solutions for businesses to get paid, and if a fast and frictionless checkout is what you’re aiming for, Website Payments Standard (WPS) or PayPal Checkout should be on the top of your list. Both solutions help streamline your checkouts but PayPal Checkout could take your business further. Here’s everything you need to know.

What is Website Payments Standard (WPS)?

Website Payments Standard (WPS) is a PayPal checkout button which merchants can add to their website or mobile app by using HTML integration without any advanced programming. It allows your business to accept debit, credit, and PayPal payments — even if your customers do not have a PayPal account.

Why PayPal Checkout over WPS?

PayPal Checkout ticks all the same boxes as WPS and more. By integrating PayPal Checkout, your customers can complete their shopping without being redirected to another page, resulting in a seamless checkout experience.

In other words, customers would be able to stay on your website or mobile app to complete a transaction, reducing the number of clicks during their purchase journey. On top of that, you can also customize the checkout experience based on your business’ needs — it’s a solution made with your business in mind.

What is PayPal Checkout?

Formerly known as Express Checkout, PayPal Checkout is a payment solution that allows businesses to securely accept payments in your customers’ preferred payment method, all from one account and with a single integration. It also shortens the checkout process as customers can skip filling out their shipping, billing, and bank account information when they pay with PayPal. Hence, a few clicks or taps is all that’s needed for a customer to complete their purchase on your website or mobile app.

How does PayPal Checkout work?

Here’s how PayPal Checkout enables you to get paid online or in an app:

1. Customers shop on your website and confirm their order.
2. When they’re ready to pay, they’ll click on the PayPal Checkout button.
3. Customers log in to their PayPal account, where their payment, shipping, and billing information is already stored securely. Hence, there’s no need to re-enter it on your website.
4. Customers confirm the purchase and payment is complete!

What’s the difference between PayPal Checkout and WPS?

With WPS, your customers are taken to a separate payment page to complete their transaction, before returning to your website. On the other hand, with PayPal Checkout, you get to keep your customers on your website to complete their purchase, without having to re-enter their shipping, billing, and payment details. Moreover, PayPal Checkout is scalable on multiple platforms and is recommended for higher conversion rates on your website.
