PayPal Website Payments takes the shopper to PayPal's site AFTER the ENTIRE checkout in order to make payment. The shopper can pay without having a PayPal account. After the payment is completed, your store is notified of the completed payment, after which time the order is ready to be downloaded into Sellerdeck.
PayPal sees Website Payments Standard as a solution for merchants wanting to collect payments on their site easily, especially if they have no other payment method available.
PayPal Express Checkout allows the shopper to jump over to the PayPal site to login to their account BEFORE entering the checkout on your store, via a button “Check out now with PayPal” (which allows them to select their address information there and never have to re-type their address details on YOUR site, thus the "express" part of the transaction) and then choosing shipping choices and discounts/coupons etc before completing the order.
PayPal sees Express Checkout as a payment option that's offered in addition to other payment choices such as a credit card gateway, and that adding Express is a way to allow PayPal members a very quick and easy way to pay using their PayPal account.
