Title: Difference in virtuemart.installation.joomla.sql and sql.virtuemart.php
Post by: aravot on October 22, 2010, 22:15:46 PM
PayPal name is different in virtuemart.installation.joomla.sql and sql.virtuemart.php

When using virtuemart.installation.joomla.sql to install Virtuemart PayPal is named
PayPal - (code - PP_API)
PayPal (old Version) - (code - PP)

When using sql.virtuemart.php to install Virtuemart PayPal is named
PayPal (new API) - (code - PP_API)
PayPal - (code - PP)

In both instances it is better to name 'PayPal Standard for PP' and 'PayPal Express Checkout for PP_API'

I will take care to have both files equally named.
The name "standard" and "express checkout" are not correct, though:
- the old version is not standard anymore, we will call it "PayPal Legacy"
- the new version is not just about EXPRESS CHECKOUT, it is now "STANDARD" so we will call it just "PayPal".
Done and committed.

I got the info from PayPal website https://merchant.paypal.com/cgi-bin/marketingweb?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=merchant/product_services&nav=2.1 they have it as Standard and Express Checkout looking at it from customer point of view it is unclear what PayPal legacy or PayPal is.

I checked four other shopping carts they have it as PayPal Standard and PayPal Express Checkout or PayPal Website Payment Pro but not a big deal as users can change the name to whatever they want.

PayPal Standard and PayPal Express Checkout are two different ways to pay with PayPal, but BOTH ARE INCLUDED in the new API PayPal method.

VirtueMart legacy PayPal method only includes Standard.
