    Default Difference between PayPal IPN and PayPal Express?

    I am going to use paypal along with a merchant account so I am wondering what the exact differences between PayPal IPN and PayPal Express are. I know with PayPal express it puts the express button on the cart screen, which im not really fond of.

    Thank to anyone who can assist

    neither express or IPN require the merchant account,
    paypal IPN requires users to create a unique login and then process order

    express will let users go straight to paypal and approve the sale then come back to your site and users then confirm order,
    does not require a user to create an account, ( cretes it for them based on their paypal information )

    I have a PayPal Webpayments standard account, is there anyone to not have that anymore because I would much rather only use paypal for people who want to pay with paypal since ill have a merchant account elsewhere

    Thanks for the info!

    Nevermind, I think I better stay with Web Payments Standard due to the extra fee's required for a person account rather then that business I already have set up.

    So just to sum it up, it looks like the biggest difference between express and ipn are admin functionality and the express button below the cart.

    Correct me if I am wrong


    Thanks!
