How to enable PayPal payments
*Note: Keep in mind that these instructions do not explain how to use PayPal to accept payments other than PayPal to PayPal. For instructions on how to setup PayPal Pro to accept regular credit card transactions and other payment methods, please refer to the following article:

http://support.colony1.net/KB/a117/how-to-setup-paypal-pro-as-a-payment-processor.aspx

By enabling PayPal to PayPal payments, you will still be able to accept Credit Card transactions on your site through your existing Real-Time Merchant account (Authorize.net, Pay Me Now, etc...) as configured in your admin area at "Configuration > Payment Processor > Real Time".  Therefore, both of these payment processors / gateways can work together simultaneously.

*********You can setup PayPal to PayPal or PayPal Pro (credit card transactions) OR BOTH.*********
