### How it works

![Alternative,payment,methods,diagram](https://www.paypalobjects.com/ppdevdocs/img/docs/apm/unbranded-flow.svg)

1. Your checkout page offers alternative payment methods.
2. The buyer enters their personal details and selects an alternative payment method from your checkout page.
3. The buyer is redirected to their selected issuing bank to confirm the purchase.
4. The buyer authorises and completes the payment.
5. The buyer returns to your website to see the confirmation of the purchase.
6. The merchant completes the payment process. PayPal transfers the funds to the merchant, and the transaction shows up in your PayPal account with the buyer's chosen payment method.
