What is PayPal Express Checkout?

PayPal Express Checkout enables customers to check out quickly and securely using pre stored information, without sharing any sensitive financial information online. The customer initiates and approves the PayPal payment and funds are sent immediately from PayPal to your PayPal account once the transaction is approved.

How does it work with RBS WorldPay?

A single administration and reporting system for your RBS WorldPay and PayPal payments means you'll save time and effort by accessing statements and reports including PayPal payments through the RBS WorldPay Merchant Administration Interface.

To be able to accept PayPal payments, RBS WorldPay applies for an account with PayPal on your behalf. We then guide you through a number of steps to complete the application process including accepting PayPal's user agreement. Once we have notified you that PayPal has been set up on your account, your customers can automatically start paying via PayPal.

The PayPal payment process for shoppers works as follows:

1. The PayPal payment option will be available for your shoppers to select on the payment screen alongside the other card types you accept.
2. When a shopper selects PayPal on the RBS WorldPay card selection screen, they are diverted to PayPal to log in to their account and complete the transaction.
3. After the transaction is complete the shopper is returned to the RBS WorldPay payment page where payment confirmation is displayed.

Please note that PayPal can't be used for Mail and Telephone Order Payments or Recurring Payments (FuturePay) and is currently only available to UK based merchants.
