PayPal ExpressCheckout - UK specific API?

I've been asked to extend a US-based site that is using ExpressCheckout to the UK. Is there any difference in the API being used?

I've looked through the PayPal developer site, I can see there is a different UK API for Website Payments Pro - https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/library_download_sdks#PayflowPro , but we're not using that.

The only possible reference I can find about ExpressCheckout localisation is to specify the currency - https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_api_ECSimpleIntegration#id0832BA0605Z . Is that the only configuration required, as I've heard some horror stories about people trying to build UK-based PayPal api calls in the past

thanks

Toby

There is no difference between Website Payments Pro for the US and the UK. What you're referring to with the first link is 'Website Payments Pro UK Payflow Edition'; this is a legacy product which is no longer directly for sale. Both US and UK merchants use the DoDirectPayment API nowadays. – Robert

No, there are no changes. You only need to change the currency. This is not really a programming question though.
