Advanced Checkout: PayPal’s all-in-one online payment solution
In this guide, we’ll explore the importance of an all-in-one payment solution, including how it can help streamline operations, increase customer loyalty, improve security, and ultimately, drive conversions.
What is an all-in-one online payment solution?
An all-in-one online payment solution is a single platform that provides merchants with all the features and tools needed to quickly and easily accept various payment methods online, manage sales and mitigate risk from one place.
If you sell across borders, an all-in-one solution makes it easier to offer your customers the payment methods and currencies that are popular in their own country.
What is PayPal Advanced Checkout?
Advanced Checkout is available as part of the PayPal Complete Payments platform. It is a payment processing solution that includes all the features available in PayPal Standard Checkout plus additional advanced payment types, customisable features, and risk management tools.
In other words, Advanced Checkout is PayPal’s leading single integration that enables merchants to offer, accept, and process payments in 135 different currencies and using several preferred payment methods from around the world, including:
- Credit cards
- Debit cards

2. Save payment methods
Save payment details for subsequent purchases from repeat shoppers, so they won't have to enter their payment information again — including for subscriptions and recurring payments.
With payment methods safely stored, you can initiate recurring payments or reduce the steps to purchase, allowing customers to complete their future transactions in just a few clicks.
What are the benefits of Advanced Checkout?
From helping save time and increase conversions, Advanced Checkout offers many advantages for merchants and their customers with one single integration.
3. Attract international customers
The PayPal brand is widely recognised and trusted around the world. Nearly two-thirds of users in the US and UK say they trust PayPal when making purchases from another country.1 If you sell across borders then showing you use PayPal can help boost shoppers’ confidence in buying from your site. When you also accept the payment methods that customers prefer, and accept payments in their local currency, you could quickly boost your business in new, international markets.
4. Save time with one payment integration
By managing all your payments in one place, you’ll gain more control over your transaction data. That’s because you’ll have quick and convenient visibility into all your transactions, sales, and reporting. You can also better manage cash flow and get money quicky into your PayPal Business account.
5. Help stay protected with Fraud and Seller Protection
