here is the detailed. from the ofbiz side Payflow Link is the same as Express Checkout they use the webpages one paypal to do check out, with data return to ofbiz
>From the paypal side: Payflow Link is the not same as Express Checkout in Express Checkout it is handled by Paypal with a single processing fee Payflow Link the webpage on paypal goes through the gateway set up for the merchant by paypal. gateway by-passes Paypal and connect to merchants bank.There are merchant fees connected with the gateway. Payflow Pro does not use webpages on paypal so has to be implemented in ofbiz like authorizenet has be implemented. the Merchant gateway is set up by paypal. there are more differences but does not directly effect programming. I have done all these on other platforms other than ofbiz.
