To integrate PayPal into Magento 2 you need to choose one of the plans and subscribe for it. There are three basic plans for Magento merchants from PayPal: 

  1. PayPal Payments Advanced;
  2. PayPal Payments Pro;
  3. PayPal Payments Standard.

Despite the ordinary packages, PayPal PLUS solution offers the usage of not only PayPal Wallet, but also credit cards, direct debit and an account purchase, which is available for all website customers, regardless of whether they have an account or not. The module is available for merchants from Germany and Latin America.

You can see the list of All-In-One Payment Solutions with all available PayPal plans. For this, go to the Admin Panel> Stores> Configuration> Sales> Payment Methods:
