giropay Page Flows
If you accept giropay, you must redirect to the giropay website to collect the funds after
completing the Express Checkout transaction.
When your customer selects giropay as a funding source during the Express Checkout flow,
you redirect the customer to a static PayPal URL after your order review page. PayPal then
redirects the customer to the giropay website to push the funds to the merchant. After the
giropay payment is successfully completed, the transaction is confirmed.
If the giropay payment fails or is cancelled by the customer, PayPal provides the necessary
details for an EFT so that the customer can complete the transaction by pushing funds from
his/her bank account. If your PayPal account profile blocks non-instant payments, the
transactions is cancelled.
