Yes, it is possible to link a 'Paypal checkout' button in a Webflow cart to a Webflow checkout page instead of just opening a Paypal window. Here's how you can achieve this:

Set up the Checkout page: First, you'll need to create a checkout page in Webflow where users can review their order details and proceed to payment. Design and style this page according to your preferences.
Add a 'Paypal checkout' button: On the checkout page, add a 'Paypal checkout' button element. You can do this by dragging and dropping a button element onto the page.
Customize the 'Paypal checkout' button: Select the 'Paypal checkout' button and open the element settings panel. Look for the 'Link' or 'Button Link' field and enter the URL of the Webflow checkout page you created earlier. This will redirect users to the checkout page when they click the button.
Configure Paypal settings: To ensure the payment is processed correctly, you'll also need to configure the PayPal settings in your Webflow project. To do this, go to the 'Project Settings' tab and click on the 'Ecommerce' section. Under the 'Payment' tab, select 'PayPal' as your payment gateway and provide the necessary API credentials.
Test the setup: Once you have completed the above steps, you should test the setup to ensure it is functioning as desired. Add a product to the cart and proceed to the checkout page. Clicking on the 'Paypal checkout' button should redirect you to the Webflow checkout page instead of opening a separate PayPal window.

By following these steps, you can link a 'Paypal checkout' button in a Webflow cart to a Webflow checkout page, providing a seamless payment experience to your users while keeping them on your website.
