With PayPal Checkout, you pay a little more than you would for Expanded Checkout because we manage the checkout experience. That means you don't need to worry about handling unauthorized transactions and chargebacks or compliance reporting—we'll take care of that.
With Expanded Checkout, you pay a lower fee since you’re managing checkout and handle refunds and chargebacks for any unauthorized transactions. You'll also be responsible for compliance reporting.
