Change from PayPal Pro to PayPal Standard

I want to change from PayPal Pro to Standard b/c of the monthly fee. I'm concerned about running into problems and taking my cart down for an extended period. Is there anything I should be aware of before making this change? How different will my cart work after the change?

Thanks!

Re: Change from PayPal Pro to PayPal Standard

If you just turn off the PayPal Website Payments Pro module, that will still leave Express Checkout enabled, meaning your customers can still make purchases.
The only real difference this will cause is that customers won't have fields into which they can enter their credit card number details while on your site.
