As you know, PayPal Express and Pro methods not available for all counties.
I'm wondering if there is any way for implement PayPal standard that available for Asian countries like UAE using Omnipay.

Recently, I implemented the PayPal Commerce Platform
How it is different from PayPal Adaptive Chained Payments, using Express Checkout?
That's an open-ended question. Some essential differences are that PayPal Adaptive Payments is no longer supported for new integrations, so it's not really an option anymore. And PayPal Commerce Platform may not yet have an option for chaining payments to multiple receivers.
I want to implement PayPal payment gateway integration.
Currently I use "PayPal checkout" API and it works for me.
Most important thing is to support AMEX.
Now I need subscriptions.
I was choosing between "Payments Pro" API and subscriptions API.
But then I noticed here https://www.paypal.com/au/webapps/mpp/payment-solutions
That PayPal pro doesn't support AMEX.
I concerned now, in a subscription section they say nothing about support of AMEX.
Do they support AMEX card in their subscription services?
Technical support gave me the answer.
The answer to the question is yes! We do support American Express with recurring payments!
Does DoReferenceTransaction API work with any PayPal account? I'm trying to implement something similar to the one-click buy option seen in Amazon (not recurring billing). Finance still has to get back to me on the type on account we have (Standard, Pro etc). Does the DoReferenceTransaction API work with all types of paypal accounts?
Also, am a bit confused by the types of accounts PayPal has. On PayPal's site I see only Website Payments Standard and Express Checkout. But I hear a lot of conversation about Payment Pro and Payflow Pro and all that. Not sure which is which.
Any inputs/pointers would be appreciated.
DoReferenceTransaction will work fine with Standard PayPal accounts but only with Express Checkout. If you want to work with credit cards directly you'd have to go with Payments Pro.
If you are going to use DRT with EC then you'll need get it approved by PayPal before it'll be available, but it doesn't cost anything extra.
PayPal has recently made some changes to "Payments Pro" that are causing lots of confusion. "Website Payments Pro" is the "old" version that uses the DoDirectPayment API.
"Payments Pro" (without the Website at the beginning) is the "new" version and it works on the PayFlow Gateway.
Depending on how old your account is and how you go about applying for Pro you'll get put into one or the other. They're trying to get everybody on PayFlow now, but sometimes they can't depending on variables in play.
If you do get into the new version of Payments Pro you would actually have access to every API on PayFlow and the standard PayPal gateway, but you would have to get them to enable everything for you.
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.
