PayPal Installation ???

I've installed ZenCart v1.3.8a along with the MySQL v5.x database and an SSL certificate from GoDaddy. With this done, I now need to figure out what PayPal product is needed for the simplest of e-commerce site with only a dozen or two, hand crafted products. Nothing fancy, just the price under each product picture and an "add to cart" button that leads to the customer payment screen.

Some of the PayPal products come bundled with an SSL certificate. Obviously, I'm not interested in paying for a certificate I already have. Any suggestions for how to pick the PayPal product that might suit my needs?

Also, what is the process for installing PayPal into my ZenCart so they will interface properly?

Re: PayPal Installation ???

Zen Cart is a shoping cart,

you login to the admin and setup your products,
they you set the payment options in admin -> modules -> payment

you have 2 options
paypal IPN ( customer creates account on your site then gets sent to paypal )

Paypal express where customer gets sent to paypal and then comes back to your site and their account is auto created
