Can I use both Paypal Standard and PayPall Express together in 1.3.9h?

Like the title says :D

Do I use same configs for both or would I also need to set up a paypay express account at paypal?

After looking at computer code for a while - I think I'm going crazy but the voice in my head assures me that I'm not! http://www.jecphotography.com/mystore

No. You don't use both together at the same time on the same site.

Just use Express Checkout. Setup instructions: https://www.zen-cart.com/getpaypal

Sorry maybe didn't explain it right, you already helped me out with the standard one and we got it working thanks to you:

I'm just wondering if I need to go through the entire process all over again or whether I just copy paste the existing info I have into the new express thing - does it work this way because in step 4 of the link you just gave me it seems to imply that it's US Only(hence my confusion):

"Click Website Payments Pro (U.S. Only)"

From other posts I've seen, it looks like it can be more than just the US.

Website Payments Pro also works for Canada.

We now have a Beanstream account for our 1.3.9h site. We no longer need paypal pro. Do we have to Un-install Pro/Express to go back to Paypal Standard or just disable them?

You can uninstall PayPal Payments Pro and just use Express.

Express is still a way better PayPal experience than Standard. But if you're bent on using Standard, you can do that if you really want.

Better to keep Express Checkout available for those who still would prefer to pay via PayPal. The more options your customers have, the more likely they will complete their purchase.
