(note for doco - check whether PayPal Express CC will be there in the end)

Braintree Payments integration provides the option of accepting PayPal payments. This means your site does not have to set up separate PayPal settings. Such transactions will be included in your Braintree account. NOTE - You still need to establish a separate PayPal merchant account as payment processing fees are charged as per your agreement with PayPal. Braintree does not charge fees for handling PayPal transactions. 

In Braintree Payments, PayPal can be enabled as checkout or checkout with vault, and also can include express options:

• Checkout: PayPal Checkout is offered as an option under Braintree's 'Payment Methods' tab rather than under a separate PayPal one. This option is without vaulting enabled, which means your customer's PayPal account details will not be saved for future use.
• PayPal Vaulting: Vaulting can be enabled for PayPal Checkout. This will allow you to charge the account in the future without requiring your customer to be present during the transaction or re-authenticate with PayPal when they are present during the transaction. NOTE - Vaulting is not compatible with Pay in 4. When PayPal vaulting is on, Pay in 4 will not appear to the customer.  
• Express: Express options are PayPal payment methods that appear on the product and/or cart pages. They are 'express' because they allow the customer to initiate order submission there and then without going through the normal checkout flow. PayPal's express options include PayPal Checkout, Pay in 4 (PayPal's Buy Now, Pay Later offering) and Credit/Debit Card (CHECK?). When an option is enabled, the relevant button appears on the product and/or cart pages. 

The PayPal settings here control the PayPal payment options your website offers through the Braintree gateway. Your site can offer one or all of these PayPal options:

• PayPal Checkout under the Braintree Payments 'Payment Methods' tab during the checkout process.
  
  

  In the Payment panel during checkout, 'PayPal' displays as an option under Payment Methods.   The User clicks on PayPal to display a PayPal button.  The User clicks the PayPal button for the secure PayPal login window to display.  The User logs into their PayPal account and selects from available payment options. After payment selection has been approved, they are returned to your website. The PayPal account with login ID is displayed.  The User clicks Process Payment to complete payment for the order. If 'Allow Vault PayPal' is enabled, a successful PayPal account will be vaulted for future purchases.

  
  

• PayPal Express via buttons in the product detail and/or cart pages. NOTE - Adding PayPal Express through Braintree settings replaces the use of separate PayPal Express settings. 

  
  

• PayPal Pay in 4 buttons in the product detail and/or cart pages. 

  
  

• PayPal Credit Card buttons in the product detail and/or cart pages

  The User clicks on the Debit or Credit Card button to open a secured credit card form hosted by PayPal.  The User fills out the form and clicks the Buy Now button. PayPal verifies the User. If the User is successfully verified, they are taken to the final checkout page. The User clicks the Check out with PayPal button to submit the order.
