What paypal account do I need?

I was setting up my Paypal module. I noticed that my IPN preference was not in my account profile. I could find and edit it using the Help search but not from the Profile link. Do I have to have the Pro setup?

You need a Business or Premier account that has been verified to use the IPN module.

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

Sure -- those extra setups are for Website Payments Pro.
v1.3.6 of Zen Cart supports Website Payments Standard (aka: IPN), and to use that does not require all the additional applications and setup steps.

Yeah I know. So the lady had a personal account so there was no IPN in the profile area. She upgraded to business and somehow I am stuck with all these steps. I cannot figure out how to go back.
