In the Website Payments Pro Hosted Solution Integration Guide (Payflow Edition) for UK document there are some errors described. One of the errors are:
31 'Error in adding the recurring profile'
But it this document does not state how can I add a recurring profile using the hosted solution. This is what I am looking for.
Thank you.
EDIT:
What I found interesting is that the other guide (non-PayFlow Edition) it says recurring payments are not supported by PayPal Pro Hosted Solution, but in this one there is no information about recurring payment.
Yes, Recurring Payments are not supported in Hosted Sole Solution.
You can use Recurring payments only if you have a PayPal Payments PRO account(which is available in US,UK and CA) else use Recurring Billing in Payflow(available in US,UK,AUS).
In the PayPal Payflow page it says that is available in US, CAN, AUS, New Zealand, but not in UK.

I have already implemented the PayPal recurring payment section using Express checkout in Website standard Payments. Now I am asked to implement the same recurring payment using Express check out in PayPal Pro. On checking the integration guide, I found that Express checkout steps are same in pro and Website Standards and the only difference i found is Direct Payment is only present in Pro.
Is my conclusion correct? Can I reuse the code i used for recurring in website payments using express checkout ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

You are correct. Recurring Payments with Express Checkout will be the same regardless if you have Website Payments Standard or Website Payments Pro. It would only be different when setting up Recurring Payments for Website Payments Pro.
I'm trying to use recurring billing for website payments pro using the CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile API call.
I'm testing my code in the sandbox, but I get the error "DPRP is disabled for this merchant". I can't seem to find where in the account to enable recurring payments.
Any ideas?
Thanks :)
This is because of the different types of accounts. Recurring Payments (NOT recurring billing. these are 2 different products) was offered with older PayPal accounts. With the new accounts, you should be using the Payflow gateway to perform Recurring Billing transactions.
To do this, first you need to make a Payflow test account. This can be done by doing Part 1, 2 and 3 from this article:
https://ppmts.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/929
After you have a test Payflow account, you can follow this recurring billing guide here to set up recurring billing:

PayPal has a complicated naming strategy for its payments products, but it appears that some of them share common building blocks. How are the following product brands related, and what are their histories?
These three appear to be the latest offerings:
PayPal Payments Standard
PayPal Payments Advanced
PayPal Payments Pro
PayPal Payments Pro (PayFlow Edition)
These two appear to be deprecated or on their way out:
Website Payments Standard
Website Payments Pro
The above products have documentation that seem to reference "PayFlow" products frequently:
PayPal Payflow Link
PayPal Payflow Pro
This seems to be the underpinning of some, but not all, of the above products, and these two may in fact be the same product:
PayPal Payment Gateway
Payflow Payment Gateway
Please refer the following blog (recently written) which explains in great detail about the PayPal API and products

I have a basic account with shopify and shopify is allowing me to choose from following paypal solutions
PayPal Website Payments Pro (UK)
PayPal Website Payments Pro (CA)
PayPal Payments Pro (US)
PayPal Payflow Link
PayPal Express Checkout
Is there a particular reason why shopify does not support "paypal website payment standard" ?
I am building an e-commerce solution for a client and am suggesting client to use "paypal website payment standard". Is this a not a favored solution for any reason?
The integration options for PayPal standard aren't as robust as the other PayPal integrations so Shopify does not support it. Any of the options that standard provided should be covered by the other paypal products; you should be able to get the same functionality.
Is there something in particular from PayPal standard that the client needs that the other services don't provide?
It is not about the functionality. It's about the monthly costs that is tied to other paypal plans. Paypal standard does not require any monthly fees. That's the difference and that is why we hope to actually use it on the website.
