PayPal “Express Checkout”
The PayPal Express Checkout option is available to shoppers on the Plexus store who have previously stored Paypal as a payment method. For those that have PayPal as a stored payment method a “Pay With” button will appear on product description pages near the "Checkout" button. This allows users to pay with PayPal as their payment option as well as change the funding mechanism for their PayPal payment method if they choose to do so by logging into PayPal.
- One-time and Subscription orders, including future date subscriptions (PayPal will be automatically saved as the payment method for a subscription if chosen at checkout),
- Existing subscriptions currently using a different payment method (can be switched to PayPal),
- All markets, and
