Paypal options

[Wulfstan]

I'm trying to get my head around the various Paypal payment options and was wondering if anybody has any help or advice?

Which one works best with Actinic? From what I can see the Paypal Website Payment Standard service is basically a service handled by Actinic. If you have a look it basically ends up giving you a link back to Actinic. Is this correct? To me it's main advantage is for people who don't want to use an Application like Actinic, they build the site themselves in html and then bolt this service onto it?

Paypal Website Payment Pro looks like it's more suited for the Actinic product as it's all self contained. It integrates by simply adding your Paypal account details. Is that correct?

Not an expert, but I believe that Pro doesn't integrate with Actinic at all well (if at all). YOu need to use Standard and it only integrates as a payment method, not a replacement to your shopping cart.

By far the majority of PP users use PP Website Payments (Standard). This is very easily integrated as a payment method.
There is a brief explanation of the differences here:
