With PayPal Payments Advanced, your customer stays on your site during the checkout process. The customer selects the PayPal Payments Advanced payment method on the Payment Information checkout step and clicks Continue.

The Order Review step appears, with the Pay Now button, instead of the Place Order button. After the customer clicks the Pay Now button, a PayPal-hosted form opens in the customer’s browser. The customer specifies the card information and clicks Verify Card. If the transaction is successful, the customer is redirected to the order confirmation page. The form also includes the Pay with PayPal button, which redirects the customer to the PayPal site, where payment can be made with PayPal Express Checkout.

If the transaction fails for any reason, an error message appears on the checkout page and the customer is directed to repeat the checkout process. These issue are managed by PayPal.

Processing orders with PayPal Payments Advanced is the same as processing any regular order with PayPal. An invoice, shipment, and credit memo (online/offline refund) can be created. Multiple online refunds are not available for the PayPal Payments Advanced payment method.

With PayPal Payments Advanced, an order is created in the Admin when a customer clicks the Place Order button. The order status can be any of the following, depending on the response from PayPal.

• Processing	The transaction was successful.
  Pending Payment	The system did not receive any response from PayPal.
  Canceled	The transaction was not successful for some reason.
  Suspected Fraud	The transaction did not pass some of the PayPal fraud filters; the system receives the response from PayPal that the transaction is under review by Fraud Service.

PayPal Payments Advanced cannot be used for orders created from the Admin of your store.
