    If it saves time, it seem slike PayPal Express is the best option.

    Am I missing something?

    It seems to me that I would need both....
    The reason being:

    If i am using PayPal Express only, and someone creates their account to check out the regular way, once their order is confirmed on my site and passed to paypal, the only fields paypal fills in are the email field where -as PayPal IPN fills in all of the fields.

    If i was a customer, i would not want to enter my information twice, once on the site, then once for paypal.

    If they choose the express method, then all is fine and dandy. But if they dont....

    am i missing something? should my cart be passing the zen cart account information to paypal with paypal express (paypal ipn does)

    do i make any sense:...
    simpified:

    paypal ipn passes zen cart account information so the customer does not have to fill it in, where-as payapl express does not (besides the email address field.)

    With PayPal express they don't enter any information on your site, once you click the button you just enter in the PP username and password, or fill in your info and CC information, then it takes you back to the Confirm order page.

    Takes less pages, less time, and makes all my customers MUCH happier.

    but what if your customer already has an account or decided to make an account before paying. paypal express won't pass that information (fill in your info for a CC transaction) like ipn would, so they would have to re-enter it...so it would be slower right.....unless you used ipn which passes it?

    OK, I still can't get express to not ask for a login or create account. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    What version are you running? If it's 3.7.1, have you removed and installed the IPN and Express? You need to do that after the install/upgrade. I had the same problem until I did that.

    I would go over the upgrade steps again to make sure you didn't miss a file somewhere. That's where I find 99% of my problems (I don't say 100 because I hold out hope that one time it won't be my error ;)

    What's the URL where this can be seen in action?
    or else provide a click-by-click explanation of what you're doing and seeing vs what you were hoping for.
