The PayPal name for it is &#8220;Accelerated Boarding&#8221;. We&#8217;ll take a minute to explain what it is because it can make your life easier as a ProductCart merchant.<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, PayPal realized that the easier they make it for merchants to activate their payment systems, the better. With &#8220;Accelerated Boarding&#8221;, you &#8211; as a merchant &#8211; can turn on Express Checkout without even signing up a PayPal account. Add your e-mail address and turn it on. The first time you get an order that was paid for using Express Checkout, then PayPal will contact you (&#8220;hey, come and set things up now, so you can get your money&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>In other words, you can painlessly add a new payment option to your storefront. Of course, if you don&#8217;t like Express Checkout, then this is not going to make any difference to you. But, if you were thinking about giving it a try, now it&#8217;s even easier to do so.<\/p>\n<p>At Early Impact, we like PayPal Express Checkout because this alternative checkout process allows <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">new customers<\/span> to place an order on your store very quickly (assuming they have a PayPal account, and millions do), and it does not compromise most of the cool checkout features that ProductCart includes.<\/p>\n<p>Trying out changes to your storefront that might improve some of your customers&#8217; shopping experience is always a good idea and &#8220;Accelerated Boarding&#8221; makes it easier for you to give Express Checkout a try.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.earlyimpact.com\/productcart\/paypal_website_payments_pro_in_your_storefront#frequently_asked_questions_about_express_checkout\">Frequently asked questions about using Express Checkout with ProductCart <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cms.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/?cmd=_render-content&amp;content_ID=developer\/EC_setup_signature\">More details on the PayPal Web site<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the latest version of ProductCart (v4 SP3) we updated our integration with PayPal Express Checkout.
