[TYPO3-shop] Paypal accounts

[Tomi Hrovatin]

Hi all,

A little off topic but maybe I'll get some answers here...

...short question...
Which paypal account is better to use and easier to implement in 
tt_products? paypal express or paypal standard? Or maybe some other? 
Please some pros and cons...

...in a long story...
I'm new to paypal. My country, Slovenia, started to accept payments only 
few months ago. So I decided to add paypal to our tt_products shop.

First I bumped at Paypal Standard which accepts payments with CCs and 
from paypal members. Then, I went investigating if there are some 
tt_products extensions for paypal.
First I tried paymentlib version but my site froze completely. Since our 
shop is online and I couldn't afford blank screens I tried handleScript 
from Richard.
When I almost completed setup, I realized that we are talking about 
Paypal Express and not Paypal standard (Express doesn't accept CCs 
without paypal account).
After reading about Paypal Express I got more confused. After reading 
for 2 days more I got even more confused (like: I also need a merchant 
account for Express and I cannot accept CCs with Standard since I'm from 
Slovenia, ...).

Paypal site is a mess. I'm more confused now than I was before I started.
So, what is the best & easiest approach to paypal with tt_products shop?

I hope the story is not too long :)
