I am developing an ecommerce commercial web site that will take PayPal payments. I want to use Commerce Starter kit as the basis for this web site.

I want to configure the PayPay payment features and work with the PayPal Sandbox in order to test all this.

What Checkout/PayPal Payment featues are available for configuration? I want my website database to never be out of sync. I want the payment received on the website to be the same as the payment received at PayPal. What is the best PayPal configuration setting best suited to this? What exactly is and should I be using PayPal Pro?

You can use PayPal Payments Standard or Pro (and you can change this on the fly), and it can also be configured to use the sandbox.

Here's a quick comparison of Standard vs. Pro: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_wp-standard-pro-compare-outside. Basically, with Pro you keep the customer on your site instead of sending them to PayPal's site for the payment, after which they are sent back. I think "best" is what you think it is; if you don't want to spend $30/month and don't mind sending your customer to PayPal for the payment, then Standard is fine.
