PayPal Payments Standard
This plan requires you to create all your products on the paypal system and then create special buttons on your webpages for each product. When you click on the Add to Cart button for the product on your website, you will be brought to the PayPal cart. This method does not require any special software or ecommerce system, because every button is hard coded to point to PayPal. The cart and checkout system are both on the PayPal site. For further information on how to sell products using this method, please refer to the PayPal documentation.
This plan can be used with the Express Checkout option for free.
PayPal Payments Pro
This uses PayPal as your payment processor so you can accept credit and debit cards on your website. This includes an ecommerce payment gateway so users can make purchases without leaving your site. This is a paid service from PayPal where you pay $30/month (as of July, 2017).

PayPal Payflow Pro
This plan allows more advanced features like recurring payments and the ability to use PayPal as a gateway and merchant account. Also you can process payments via the phone using a virtual terminal and the checkout process keeps the user on the website at all times. This is an add-on option for which PayPal charges an additional $10/month (as of July, 2017) if you already have a PayPal Payments Pro account.
This option allows you to manage the subscriptions through PayPal manager. Note that PayPal does not allows third parties to change the address of the user that is set in their profile. The user information that is sent from PayPal into the AspireEcommerce is based upon the initial profile creation. The information HAS to be updated on PayPal for it to be reflected in AspireEcommerce.
