PayPal Adaptive Payments handles payments between a sender of a payment and one or more receivers of the payment. It's possible to split the order total with secondary receivers, so you can pay commissions or partners.
A parallel payment is a payment from a sender that is split directly among 2-6 receivers. Technically, a parallel payment is a set of multiple payments made in a single Pay request. Parallel payments are useful in cases when a buyer intends to make a single payment for items from multiple sellers.
Split purchases between $30-$1,500 into 4 interest-free, bi-weekly payments without the hassle of late fees.
Express checkout workflow Unlike other payment methods, PayPal Express Checkout allows the customer to check out at the beginning of the usual checkout workflow from the product page, the mini shopping cart, and the shopping cart. 1. Customer places order. The customer clicks/taps the Check out with PayPal button.
Please don't take this as an authoritative source of information, but here's what I know from trying to find a payment method for my own apps:
Adaptive Payments is an API that lets you do things like charge someone, and pass on the money to someone else, while taking a commission. Or charge someone and pass on 40% to party A and 50% to party B and keep the rest as your share, stuff like that. Normal payments, but with the added advantage of being able do things with the money once it comes in.
Express Checkout is the standard buy with paypal button that you stick on your site. takes the user to paypal, and puts money in your paypal account.
Payflow Pro is a payment gateway. The user will never see anything of paypal. You send the gateway the credit card number you want to charge, how much you want to charge it for, etc, and they deposit the money directly into your merchant account in your bank, after taking a commission.
Website Payments Pro is like payflow pro, but here they'll handle the credit card capturing business - just pass the user along to paypal and the money comes into your merchant account.
