All of the PayPal options allow that now. PayPal has come a long way. They
no longer do these ridiculous things:
1. Require the use of a PayPal account (your customer can pay with any
credit card). They call it their PayPal Optional feature.
2. Dump your customer in the PayPal site after each transaction. You can now
specify a return URL to which your customers go after (1) completing a
successful transaction, or (2) after canceling a transaction.

Furthermore - we, as developers, have two ways to use PayPal for payment
processing:
1. customer starts the process on our site - additems to a cart on our
site - then POST cart data to PayPal -- customer at this point is viewing a
PayPal page (customized with your logo) -- customer then is returned to your
site after completing the transaction. This option is free (no setup or
monthly fee; PayPal just keeps 2.x percent of the valueof the transaction.
2. customer completes entire transaction on our site -- never sees any
PayPal pages, never goes to PayPal and comes back. Behind the scenes we have
to use PayPal's web service api to transfer data. This option is not free.
There is a $20/month charge for doing this.
