PayPal has 2 gateway options that give you different levels of customization for your online checkout pages. 
 
Payflow Link is cost-efficient, PCI-compliant, and works with your existing merchant account. At checkout, your customers enter their payment details on a secure, PCI-compliant template hosted by PayPal. You can choose to integrate our embedded template (which sits right on your website). Or you can choose a customizable full-page template. All templates include PayPal and PayPal Credit, so your customers have more options to pay. Payflow Link has no setup or monthly fees. 
 
Payflow Pro is a fully customizable gateway, so you can build a checkout experience as unique as your business - from language and layout to page sequence and PCI compliance options. You can add a PayPal button to help drive more sales, or use our hosted pages and offer PayPal Credit, too. Payflow Pro has no setup fee and a small monthly fee. 
 
There are optional features such as additional fraud protection, subscription, and buyer authentication. To see the pricing information, click <a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/payflow-payment-gateway?locale.x=en_US" target="_blank">here</a> and then click Get Started Today.
