For what?/Where not?

Use PayPal Checkout,

if you do not yet offer PayPal as a payment method in your OXID eShop
if you already use PayPal but want to offer a wide range of popular payment methods, including purchase on invoice, especially to international customers

PayPal Checkout checks and confirms your payment request in real time. As a store owner you are therefore protected against payment failures.

Payment methods in PayPal Checkout

Restriction for B2B stores

If you have set prices to be net prices (typically in B2B stores), the Pay upon Invoice payment method is not available.

In the typical case, you specify all prices as gross prices in your OXID eShop, and you can offer the Pay upon Invoice payment method to your private customers.

You have the PayPal module?

Switch to PayPal Checkout to offer your customers additional payment methods including purchase on account, which are popular in international markets.

For more information, see developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/apm/.

How to ensure a smooth transition to the new PayPal Checkout module is described in Configuration under You already have PayPal or PayPal Plus?.

You have the PayPal Plus module?

The API of PayPal Plus is outdated. PayPal does not develop the API and does not offer new contracts for it.

Switch to PayPal Checkout if it is important for you to offer your customers the Quick Purchase feature or the Pay Later feature of PayPal Checkout:

With the Quick Purchase feature, your customers can skip the registration process in your eShop and start ordering and paying directly on the product detail page, for example (see Button placement settings: Quick purchase).
With the Pay Later function, customers in Germany can pay with a 30-day deferral or by PayPal installment, for example (see Button placement settings: Pay later).
For more information about country coverage and country-specific features of the Pay Later feature, see developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/pay-later/de/.
