Expanded Checkout lets merchants accept payments from customers around the world. It supports multiple countries, currencies, card brands, and payment methods in a single integration.
Each country has a set of supported currencies. Each currency maps to one or more card brands. When a customer pays, PayPal routes the transaction through the correct card brand and currency for that country.
Expanded Checkout payments are available for 37 countries and 22 currencies.
Review the card brand currency table to find the card brands and currencies supported in each country.
