PayPal Payflow Pro with Chained Payments - paypal

I integrated PayPal Chained Payments API into a website. Now I wonder if there is any way to connect that with PayFlow Pro, for not having the roundtrip to PayPal's site.
I think for security reasons it's not possible to display the payment flow in a modal window. Even with PayFlow Pro? Can somebody confirm that?
Thanks!

Difference between Payflow Pro and Payflow Link

What is the difference between PayPal Payflow Pro and PayPal Payflow link?
Currently, I am using checkout pages from PayPal manager in an iframe. Is this PayPal Payflow Pro or Payflow link?
If both are different then how can I connect my PayPal sandbox account in both scenarios?
Payflow Link is a type of Payflow account that can only use hosted pages. It cannot do direct API or transparent redirect integrations.
Payflow Pro is a type of Payflow account that can make use of any integration type (including hosted pages just like Payflow Link)
The way you link either of these to Sandbox is to set the email identifier of a Sandbox PayPal Business account, within the Payflow Manager configuration settings of Set Up -> Hosted Checkout Pages.
Payflow is a rather old system, some would call it clunky. If you're happy with it and it's working good for you, well great -- but there are some modern alternatives you might consider:
For a simple Debit or Credit Card processing along with PayPal payments, try PayPal Checkout
For more customization, PayPal has Advanced Credit and Debit Card payments for some countries
If you need a full gateway like Payflow Pro, switch to Braintree

PayPal Payments Advanced Transaction Types

This is probably a stupid question but I have to ask...
In the PayFlow Gateway Guide https://www.paypalobjects.com/webstatic/en_US/developer/docs/pdf/payflowgateway_guide.pdf
it says that with PayPal Payments Advanced the API does NOT support Sale or Authorization. Surely that can't be right. What is a PayPal Advanced account good for if you can't do a Sale or Authorization?
Additional information:
I'm testing using the Payflow_dotNET dll that comes with the PayFlow SDK. Works fine in test mode.
Thanks
I assume you mean these lines: NOTE: PayPal Payments Advanced and Payflow Link users cannot submit authorization transactions unless they obtain the Payflow SDK. and PayPal Payments Advanced and Payflow Link users cannot submit sale transactions unless they obtain the Payflow SDK.
I agree that the verbiage is quite cryptic. But it is talking about non-hosted pages. If you are using Advanced you should not be using the API to submit credit card purchases. If you need to do this you would need to upgrade to Payments Pro.
With Advanced/Link you still have access to the other API calls that would be available with Payflow Pro, you just cannot process credit cards without using the hosted checkout.
According to Page 14 and Page 65 of the Payflow link(PayPal Payments Advanced) developer guide:
Here are the accepted Transaction Types:
TYPE: A single letter that identifies the type of transaction (S: Sale or
A: Authorization). Transaction types are described on page 65.

Express checkout difference between Website payments standards and PayPal payments Pro

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
Boney
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.

shopify does not supprt paypal website payment standard

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.
