    I'm trying to open an online store running the Magento shopping cart software. In the configuration, it has a list of Paypal options. Which one is the best? Options are:

    • Express Checkout – Add an Express Checkout button to your existing shopping cart for quick and easy credit card payments. PayPal handles all payment processing.
    • Website Payments Standard – PayPal processes all of your orders, and you get paid.
    • Website Payments Pro – Process credit cards directly on your website with PayPal’s all-in-one online payment processing solution.
    • Website Payments Pro Payflow Edition (includes Express Checkout) – Accept PayPal payments in your shopping cart. PayPal will process your credit card payments through the Payflow Pro Gateway.
    • Payflow Pro Gateway – Don’t have a PayPal merchant account? You can still accept credit card payments through the Payflow Pro Gateway.
    • Express Checkout – Accept payments without customers leaving your website. Many popular web-hosting services and shopping carts come with the Payflow payment gateways built in, so they are easy to set up.

    Anybody know the difference between all of these? Thanks in advance...
