Paypal plan options

[Billy Boy]

PayPal offers Standard, Advanced and Pro. I see only Standard, Pro and Express in the Zencart configuration screens. We signed up for Advanced based on the benefits of not leaving our site and it's only $5 a month. Which Zencart option should we be selecting?

Isn't Express an option within the 3 they offer? Am I missing something?

Thank you all for all you do to help us.

There isn't a Zencart module for Paypal Advanced yet. Thread here:

Hmmm. Thanks. Does Express allow credit cards as that is my main goal? Is Express a function of Standard as it doesn't seem to be a separate Paypal Plan. Sorry but a little confused on this.

[stevesh]

Yes, Express accepts credit cards. Fact is, there's no reason to use Standard anymore, and I expect it to be removed from future Zencart versions.

So is since I only see Standard, Advanced and Pro as plan options on Paypal, I should have a Standard Plan and Express is within Standard? Sorry but I just don't get that differentiation. BTW this is a business account.

I guess that would be right. I haven't looked at Paypal's site in a while. It must be that Express is treated as a subset of Standard.

Thanks. I appreciate your time. I installed it and the credit cards seem to be working ok so far except we have only VISA and Master Card clicked on in Zencart admin but the Paypal screens show Discover and AMEX too. They may or may not work I suppose, but how to I get them off? Is that through Paypal?

[stevesh]

I think that's at Paypal's discretion, since they are accepting the payment. I'm not sure why you would want to turn them off, anyway.

Don't they have a much higher cost to process?

Not to you via paypal. You pay paypal a "set" fee. The rest is their cost.
