No it's not a typo, and Yes, you read it correctly: Paypal Express 1 Click Check-Out Button (not "page" but button), because it's really a Buy in 1 Click button 
And it's easy to install... it only requires a small work (just one half line to change) to customize the button to fit your theme.
Step 01:
This is the most easy step: in your back-office, go to /modules/Paypal and activate the option "Paypal Express Check-Out"
When it's done, you will see a ugly misplaced orange Paypal button at the bottom from the shopping cart... right between "continue shopping" on the left and "proceed to check-out" on the right.
Note: This button isnaughty... err... tricky because the payment script work only at this place, as he is "linked" with the hook 'displayShoppingCartFooter', so there is no way to move it.
Step 02:
Unzip the folder Paypal_EC_Black_Magic_PS1.7 and upload it in https://YOUR-SITE-NAME/themes/YOUR-THEME/
... it's a better solution than make a override, and you won't have to worry about Paypal's module update.
Note: if you use a child theme (wich is always a better solution, as you won't have to worry about your theme template too), upload it in https://YOUR-SITE-NAME/themes/YOUR-THEME-child/
When it's done, clear your cache, and the ugly orange Paypal button will become invisible... so the payment script is still linked with the hook 'displayShoppingCartFooter', but cannot be called (for now) because the button is hidden.
Step 03:
Now, it's the fun part: create a custom button which fit your theme and call the hidden script.
Go to https://YOUR-SITE-NAME/themes/YOUR-THEME/templates/checkout/ and make a copy from cart.tpl
Open it with Notepad++, go to the end of the page, insert fews lines just before :
and copy this:
To customize your button:
The line <button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-full-width" onclick="setInput();return false" > is composed from two parts:
When all is done correctly, you will have a custom Express Check-Out button which fit your theme, and ready to call the hidden Paypal script.
Step 04:
It's time to test how it's work...
Add some stuff in your cart, and hit your brand new custom Express Check-Out button, aaaaaaaaaand... Bam! Now you can pay "on-the-flight" by Credit Card or by Paypal without leaving the shopping-cart page... this is what I call a fast-lane
No more Check-Out page to fill... No more Customer Registration needed... and most importantly, no more One Page Check-Out problem(s) with module(s) override.
Cherry on the cake: the customer is automatically registered in Customers group, and his delivery address is filled by Paypal... he just pay, that's all... which, by the way, is the only thing that matters to us
Just for the record, this is how the customer's delivery address is filled by Paypal
Enjoy!

- onclick="setInput();return false" > // is the Paypal "onclick" part, and this part is absolutely needed to call the hidden script and to avoid any double click from the customer.
