Similar to PayPal Pro, the customer enters credit card details on your site during the checkout process, and PayPal handles the rest. This results in a slick checkout process during which the user never leaves your site.
- Users stay onsite for the entire checkout process
- A combined Payment Gateway and Merchant Account
- Users can pay with PayPal Express or Bill Me Later (services are not optional)
PayPal Advanced works by embedding an iFrame in your checkout process. This gives you the advantage of an onsite integrated checkout, but you need not worry about PCI compliance or an SSL certificate, as PayPal handles that with the hosted pages.
