Buyer Pays on PayPal

Buyer Pays on PayPal
With Express Checkout, you can shorten your checkout flow to let buyers complete their
purchases on PayPal. Then, you can skip your order confirmation page.
Generally, buyers select payment methods as the last step before they complete their
purchases. If you collect no additional information after buyers return from PayPal, you can
skip the confirm-order page on your website. If you collect additional information that does
not affect the payment, PayPal recommends that you collect it after buyers complete their
purchases.
The useraction URL parameter in your redirect to PayPal determines whether buyers
complete their purchases on PayPal or on your website. If you set useraction to commit,
PayPal sets the button text to Pay Now on the PayPal Review your informaton page. This
text lets buyers know that they complete their purchases if they click the button.
After PayPal redirects buyers to your site, call GetExpressCheckoutDetails and
DoExpressCheckoutPayment to have PayPal complete the payment successfully. Call
DoExpressCheckoutPayment without waiting for buyer interaction. Use information in the
GetExpressCheckoutDetails response to fill out your order confirmation page.
