Web Store PayPal Integration Without Express Checkout

Integrating PayPal without Express Checkout allows customers to utilize PayPal as a payment option at checkout, particularly advantageous for standard implementations of Site Builder. This feature is designed primarily for Standard Site Builder sites, making it simpler for your customers to complete transactions.

How Does PayPal Integration Work?

If you enable PayPal Integration in a Site Builder implementation without checking the Express Checkout option, customers can still opt to use PayPal during checkout. The process flows as follows:

1. User Checkout Process: Customers will see the Pay With PayPal button at checkout.
2. Payment Authority: Once the button is clicked, payments are processed and deposited directly into your PayPal merchant account.

Important Considerations

• Refund Limitations: Without Express Checkout activated, any transactions that utilize PayPal cannot be refunded directly through NetSuite. Refunds must be processed by logging into the PayPal website to issue payment reversals manually.
• Compatibility Requirements: Ensure your implementation complies with PayPal's security protocols, which mandate the use of Transport Security Layer (TLS) 1.2 for all HTTPS connections. Browsers not supporting TLS 1.2 may face issues loading PayPal’s payment systems.

Who This Affects

• Administrators: Responsible for enabling the PayPal Integration feature.
• Developers: Involved in setting up and verifying the integration.
• E-commerce Managers: Focused on ensuring a smooth checkout process for customers using PayPal.

Key Takeaways

• PayPal integration without Express Checkout is only available for Standard Site Builder implementations.
• Customers can choose PayPal as a payment option without the Express Checkout configuration.
• Refunds must be issued directly through the PayPal website for non-Express Checkout transactions.
• Ensure compliance with TLS 1.2 for successful PayPal accessibility.
