I'm helping my employer se up his online store. For (amongst others) security reasons, he wants to use the paypall shopping cart for checkout, but he has a Payments Pro account. Will he need to downgrade to a Payments Standard account to use the Paypal shopping cart?

 

Thanks!

Hi retcynm,

 

A "Payments Pro" account type doesn't really exist; the account types are either Personal, Premier or Business.

However, if you mean that he has signed up for PayPal Payments Pro, that's not a problem at all.

Whenever you sign up for Payments Pro or any of our other more advanced solutions, you can still use Express Checkout or Payments Standard with the same account.

 

So to answer your question; no, you won't need to downgrade if you want to use Express Checkout or Payments Standard when you already have Payments Pro.

 

Hope this helped. Let me know if you have any questions.
