Alternative Payment Methods

With alternative payment methods, customers across the globe can pay with their bank accounts, wallets, and other local payment methods instead of only relying on card or PayPal wallet.

See the Alternative payment methods page for more information.

Examples

Alternative payment methods use the same API requests as the other Orders v2 API samples in PayPal Checkout and Expanded Checkout. These payment methods include Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other location-based payment methods.

Apple Pay

Apple Pay requires a JavaScript SDK integration to work with the Orders v2 API. See the Integrate Apple Pay with JS SDK for direct merchants page for more information.

Other location-based payment methods
