PayPal Express payment bypasses the ShopFactory secure checkout form and directly connects the buyer to the secure PayPal payment page. When you enable this option in your shop, the "PayPal Express" button appears on the Basket page so customers can click on the PayPal Express button after selecting the shipping region.
