Any one know how to do it ?.
Yes it is correct. Paypal pro express checkout work similar. When User Click on Pay now Button. User will again redirect on Site, On Paypal Express Order Review Page.
Where user will have the option to sleecte applicable shipping method and click on Place Order button to place order finally.
The answer from Pankaj Pareek is absolutely correct. This is the checkout flow on Magento for Paypal Express. Note that your question title is misleading, whether you are using Paypal Payments Pro or Paypal Standard is irrelevant - when the user clicks the button from the cart or product page they are using Paypal Express to check out.
Magento's default Paypal Express checkout flow is dire - it actually takes longer to check out this way than a normal checkout as there's a ludicrous review step. You should note that even though you are using 1.6 it has not improved in the intervening 4.5 years despite them being bought by ebay.
Basically it's a backend config option to pass the shipping methods across.
However there is a bug which means its the id that gets shown in Paypal, not the label. It looks awful in Paypal. I stuck a module to fix it up in this answer;

And other than this small problem the communication on shipping between Paypal and Magento works really well. User updates the address and the shipping options update etc.
You can further improve this flow by removing the review stage altogether in Magento. That is a bit harder, there are modules you can buy that help. It all massively improves conversion rates, it is well worth doing.

I have a Magento website with the PayPal express payment option. I'm trying to skip the review page when my costumers pay with PayPal. As was mentioned in a former thread (Magento: easy way to remove "paypal/express/review" step), this can be easily achieved by writing an extension that changes a few line in the controller, and this behavior is actually built into v1.9.
However, these solutions didn't work for me. The built-in option apparently did nothing, and the review page was still there. The workarounds proposed in the former thread caused an infinite loop between the actions "placeOrder" and "review".
After a long time, I have now found out that when the user comes back from PayPal, the system doesn't recognize the shipping method selected in the PayPal checkout screen, and accordingly sends the user back to the review page to select a shipping method.
Has anyone ever encountered that or have any solution in mind? I am using Magento 1.9.1.0, and PayPal express is in sandbox mode.
On my Magento store I have a problem with PayPal. Magento is not redirecting PayPal payments to the mobile PayPal template if the customer is using a mobile phone or tablet. I contacted PayPal and they let me know that the variable "discount_amount_cart" should be removed in order to redirect customers to the mobile PayPal site.
I'm using the standard, built-in PayPal Website Payments Standard payment method. I searched the internet, but I can't find out what the consequences are when I remove that variable, and how I can do that.
Do you have any idea?
Thank you.
The only place this variable seems to be set is in this method: Mage_Paypal_Model_Api_Standard::getStandardCheckoutRequest(). In my opinion the discount should not be related to the mobile page, but you can try to remove it anyway.
discount_amount_cart is a optional field:
Single discount amount charged cart-wide.
It must be less than the selling price of all items combined in the cart. This variable >overrides any individual item discount_amount_x values, if present.
Applies only to the Cart Upload command.

I've got an answer back from PayPal: Unfortunately, there is no workaround for this currently. You cannot use the discount parameter and still use the mobile optimized checkout.
Bummer! We have to use the default website. Thank you, Simon H, for your help!
I'm creating a really small website where I'll sell some products.
I need this website to show the available products, the users can add to the cart, and pay at the end, then I'll send the product for them by my self. It's a really small business.
I was taking a look at the paypal options and I didn't understand very well how it works.
For what I understand, with a free account I can only use their buttons, but I can't have a dynamic solution where I can manage my products on my website (look's like I need to add the products information like name and price on their website ).
What I wanted to do was just use my own website to handle this very simple store/products, and at the end, the user click on a CheckOut button, and Then I redirect the user to a paypal page where they can pay for the total value and then paypal redirect them back to me ( as a free account or at least with the 5$ account ).
Is that possible?
By the way I'm using CakePHP to build that, and I already have the website built with this framework, and to build what I need it's more than enough, I don't really need any solution like magento or others eCommerce platform.
Thank you.
If you use Paypal's free account then your visitor will leave your website, go to Paypal's website to make the payment, and then return to your website. Paypals paid version allows you to keep your visitor on your page, but you have to program you site to work with their API. Plus the cost can add up. Paypal also has other service other than just buttons. For instance they have a shopping cart too, but here again your vistor will leave your website to go to Paypals site to add the items to the shopping cart.
Another company that you might want to look at is https://stripe.com/ here you keep the vistor on your site as well as only paying per transaction rather than a monthly fee like at Paypal.
If you want to manage your items and inventory from your website and not enter everything into buttons at PayPal.com, I would suggest that you use Express Checkout. Express Checkout is also a free service and allows you to send all of the payments details to PayPal via API and PayPal will authenticate and allow your buyers to select shipping details. The user can then be redirected back to your website to complete their order.

Here is the complete situation:
Site running with Express checkout and normal checkout of PayPal
Now if the customer orders with PayPal in a normal way. Means first take login (if not) gives your full information for shipping etc, and then go to PayPal site to pay and complete your order.
Is it possible to do a reference transaction of that order using Payflow Pro (keep in mind I complete the order using PayPal)? Or do we have to use another way?
I am having an issue with paypal express checkout integration in Magento. Customers who click "checkout with paypal" in our cart get taken to a paypal login page. After they login to paypal, paypal sends a calback to magento with their address to pull shipping options.
For some reason, paypal is receiving weird shipping options from magento in addition to the regular methods. They have names like "no rate" and are listed as costing $0.00.
I can't find any information on where paypal gets shipping methods from or how to limit them. I am working with paypal support, but the issue seems to be with magento.
Does anyone know where these shipping methods might come from and/or how to limit the shipping methods offered by paypal?
update
Paypal support has confirmed that this is a magento issue. Magento is passing the following bad options to them:
shippingoptionamount "0.00" "8.95" "23.32" "35.28" "73.91" "0.00"
shippingoptionname "customshippingrate_customshippingrate" "flatrate_flatrate" "fedex_GROUND_HOME_DELIVERY" "fedex_FEDEX_2_DAY" "fedex_PRIORITY_OVERNIGHT" "no_rate"
I have been trying to identify exactly where Magento pulls its shipping method list from, but so far it still eludes me.
I was going to add this as a comment but to make sure it stays (and gets noticed), I've answered this problem on the Magento Stack here with a module to fix it;
