How does PayPal work?

PayPal
Express Checkout

Pay securely — no PayPal account required

We offer PayPal Express Checkout to make payment fast, safe, and flexible. You can pay with your credit or debit card as a guest — you do not need a PayPal account and you never need to create one.

🔒

Bank-level security

PayPal uses 256-bit encryption to protect your card details throughout the transaction.

🚫

No account needed

Simply pay as a guest with your Visa, Mastercard, or other major card. No signup, no password.

🛡

Your card stays private

Allfasteners never sees or stores your card number — payment is handled entirely by PayPal.


How it works — step by step

1

Review your cart and proceed to checkout

When you're ready to order, click Proceed to Checkout from your shopping cart. Your items, quantities, and totals are shown for your review.

You're transferred to PayPal's secure site

You'll leave Allfasteners and land on PayPal's own website. Look for the padlock and paypal.com in your browser address bar — this confirms you're on the real PayPal site.

You'll see two options on this screen:

  • Have a PayPal account? Enter your email or phone number and press Next to log in and pay — you can skip the remaining steps below.
  • Paying as a guest? Click the white Pay with a Card button. No PayPal account or login is required.

Enter your email and card details

After pressing Pay with a Card, PayPal will first ask for your email address or phone number. This is PayPal's way of encouraging you to create an account — you are not required to do so. Enter your email and press Continue to Payment.

You'll then see a form to enter your card number, expiry date, CVV, and billing address. At the bottom of this page, PayPal may offer to save your details and create an account — this is optional. Simply toggle this off before proceeding if you'd prefer not to.

Allfasteners does not receive or store any of your card information — it is handled entirely by PayPal.
