Is PayFlow Pro the same as PayPal Website Payments Pro?

I have PayFlow Pro - meaning PayPal provided both my merchant account and my gateway. Can I use Zen-Cart's "PayPal Website Payments Pro" module for this? (Is it the same thing?)
Thanks.

They're not exactly the same ... you should ask PayPal whether what they've signed you up for is Payments Pro or not.

Thanks. I did verify that I do, indeed, have "Website Payments Pro". I've had it for several years and I started out inquiring about "PayFlow Pro", so I think that's where my confusion came in. Going through old records, I did see that they had explained that I could get both PayFlow Pro and a merchant account from them, and that's what I did. So even though all this time I've been thinking that I had PayFlow Pro, I really had "Website Payments Pro"
