How to setup Paypal as a payment method?

The setup is really simple from our side. Simply go to Settings -> Payment methods, click on "Add New Payment Method" button in the left top corner of the page. Then select "Paypal Standard" or "Paypal Express checkout" from the "Payment Method" drop down list. Set t title for your payment option in the "Method Title" field. You can customize the messages showed to your customers below that. An on the very bottom of the page, there is a field for your paypal email.
