Just a quick question, am i right in assuming your need Paypal 'Website Payment Pro' added to your business account in order to use the API?

For off the shelf e-commerce products, no you can just use PayPal Express or something similar for free.

What about custom API access? ie: for not using a COTS commerce product, rather you're own site integration

Another question altogether, am i right in think Paypal Express allows the user to click a 'Pay' button which will take them off-site but if a callback URL is specified then it'll return them once they've completed the checkout?

I use the express thing on my website (I think - its just a WordPress plugin). Goes to PayPal and takes the payment then returns to a thank you page. It returns data when it comes back (Post I assume) that's signed, I assume you can decode it somehow to get the deets you need.

Looking into Paypal Express but i'm not using wordpress and Paypal's website is absolutely shocking trying to find a simple answer on how to implement it

Yeah you should be able to sent up Express for free.. AFAIK Website Payments Pro just lets you deal with the whole transaction on your page rather than the customer being redirected to Paypal and back.

There's a PHP class which will make the request for you to post to PayPal: http://blog.moorberry.biz/2010/04/paypal-nvp-api/

Last question - i know if you use NVP (using the Paypal API etc) you can get a transaction response but is this the same if you just use HTML forms, ie: on the callback URL will it include the response in POST headers etc?

Much appreciated all
