Hello currently using the standard PayPal account with my payment options If I upgrading from standard to PayPal Express Checkouts, can this be used on the site through the ECT payment options available?
I have noticed there is

PayPal Express Payments
PayPal Payments Advanced
PayPal Direct Payments

Thanks

Hi

You can use PayPal Standard and PayPal Express Checkout on the same store no problem. I get the impression that PayPal Advanced isn't being promoted any longer by PayPal.

(I'm not sure why I'm shown under 'pre-sales' since I have a subscription)

FYI
I just received this promo:

"Time to upgrade your checkout.
Upgrade to the new PayPal Checkout and with one simple
integration, make it easy for your customers to complete their
purchases quickly without leaving your site.

Smart Payment Buttons
Intelligently present the online payment methods designed to help your shoppers convert at checkout by giving them the choice to pay with PayPal, Venmo, or PayPal Credit.**

Checkout in more places
With the new Smart Payment Buttons, you can now put checkout right on the product page, so users can check out in fewer clicks.
"

Per the FAQ's https://www.paypal.com/us/brc/article/paypal-helps-improve-checkout-conversion:

"Add PayPal as a payment option to any checkout with PayPal Checkout (formerly known as Express Checkout). It can be set up in minutes and offers the convenience and security of PayPal, turning more shoppers into buyers.

How does it work?
With PayPal Checkout, your customers can complete transactions in just a few steps, using their shipping and billing information already stored securely at PayPal to check out so they don’t have to re-enter it on your site. When PayPal Checkout is configured with the default settings, customers must have a PayPal account to complete a payment.

What API calls are required?
Checkout consists of three APIs:

SetExpressCheckout indicates to PayPal that you are using Checkout to obtain payment. Your customer is redirected to PayPal to log in and pick a funding source and shipping method. SetExpressCheckout returns a token that you use in the remaining two API calls.
GetExpressCheckoutDetails (optional) returns the details about the customer who is checking out, including shipping address, name, etc. You pass the token PayPal returned on SetExpressCheckout, and PayPal returns the customer's details.
DoExpressCheckoutPayment is your request for payment, which you call when the customer has clicked "Pay" on the final order. You pass the token and other details, and PayPal returns a Transaction ID along with specific payment details.

PayPal Checkout is available to any merchant that has API access, and any customer with a PayPal account can use Checkout for their purchases. PayPal Checkout has many options that support many different checkout flows. See How to Create One-Time Payments Using Checkout or PayPal Checkout Integration for more information."

So, what do we do to change our current Paypal Express Checkout settings and page buttons?

Hi

That is something that is being looked into but it's not just a case of flicking a switch as it suggests there. There will be a post as soon as there's some news.
