Add PayPal Express as a secondary/alternate payment method

The PayPal Express alternative payment method allows your customers to complete transactions in very few steps using the PayPal checkout process on PayPal's website. Customers click Check out with PayPal and log in to their PayPal account. They confirm pre-populated shipping and payment details on a PayPal-hosted page, then return to your website to complete the remainder of the checkout process.

To add PayPal Express as an alternative payment method:

1. Log into your DecoNetwork Website.
2. Browse to Admin > Settings.

   Select Payment Methods.

   

   

   The main work area will display your currently selected payment gateway in the top panel, currently configured alternative payment methods in the next panel, followed by available credit cards, and currently configured manual payment methods in the bottom panel.

3. Scroll down to the Alternative Payment Methods section.
   
4. Click Add button under the PayPal Express logo.
   

   The PayPal Express payment gateway settings are displayed in the main work area.

   
5. Configure the PayPal payment gateway settings.

   General

   
   • Paypal Account: this is the email address you used to register for your PayPal account.
   • Use Unique Invoice Number: this lets you choose if you want invoice numbers to be unique for each PayPal Express transaction. Having unique invoice numbers allows multiple PayPal Express transactions for the same DecoNetwork order. If "Yes" is selected, a suffix will be appended to the invoice number for subsequent payments made to an order that has a balance remaining.

   Rename

     • This is not in any store by default: select this option to hide the availability of this payment method from the storefront and from Business Hub for all stores.
   • Store Group: determines which stores can access the payment type as determined by their group setting. You can see what groups have access set and edit them or click Add Rule to create a new group-based rule. The rules will either specifically include or exclude the group from access to the payment method.
