PayPal Direct Payment

[stualk]

I've been reading Bruce's helpful post on setting up PayPal Pro. It's really useful information but i've not quite managed to get it to work. Reading the business rules section where it says the following, I'm wondering how to go about doing this...:

Business Rules

Website Payments Pro must be integrated on your website in the following ways. You must:
1. Present the PayPal Express Checkout button and associated messaging before requesting postal address, billing address, and financial information. PayPal account holders should not be required to enter any of this information on your website, because the information is available from their PayPal accounts.

2. Display PayPal as an option together with other payment methods, wherever other payment methods are offered.

3. Present the PayPal mark graphic wherever other payment marks are displayed.

Basically what I'm asking is how to I provide the customer with the chance to enter their PayPal details before it asks them for their address details? I then need PayPal to take the card payment in the background while still on my website rather than directing to PayPal.

What's the best way to go about doing this from people's previous experience?

if PPP is running correctly, assuming you have actinic shared ssl or your own ssl certificate, and you have added the extra code as per the PPP set up sticky then the paypal express button will automatically appear on the checkout page of the shopping cart before customers private data is input, that is of course assuming you can get the bugger to work!!
