### Chapter 20

# Gateway: PayPal Standard

The "PayPal Payments Standard" integration is a legacy gateway. It uses old technology and redirects users to PayPal's site to complete payment. It is still fully supported but is not recommended for new users.

For new users, we recommend the PayPal Checkout gateway, which uses modern technology, is easier to setup, and allows payment without leaving your site.
