Integrating giropay with Express
Checkout
You must modify your Express Checkout implementation to use giropay, a common German
funding source.
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 buyer selects giropay as a funding source during the Express Checkout flow, you
redirect the buyer to a static PayPal URL after your order review page. PayPal then redirects
the buyer 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 the buyer cancels, PayPal provides the necessary details for an
electronic funds transfer (EFT) so that the buyer can complete the transaction by pushing
funds from his or her bank account. If your PayPal account profile blocks non-instant
payments, the transaction is canceled.
