PayPal Express Checkout
PayPal Express Checkout allows you to accept payments through various methods such as credit cards, bank accounts, buyer credit, or PayPal account balances. You can connect PayPal Express Checkout to your Shopify store, providing it as an accelerated checkout payment solution for your customers.
When you create your Shopify store, you automatically receive a PayPal Express Checkout account. Shopify asks for your email to set up this account, which is then shared with PayPal. It's crucial to complete the setup of your PayPal Express Checkout account promptly. If you decide not to use PayPal Express Checkout, then you can deactivate it from the Payments setting in your Shopify admin to avoid exposing your email address publicly.
