The express checkout feature in the local checkout is because paypal actually requires express checkout on a direct payment form according to thier EULA... or at least they used to.
Anyway don't worry about express checkout settings on the confirm.php page. There is really no code associated with express checkout on that page.
I don't understand.... The Pro version of Website Payments is supposed to be seamless with credit card info. Instead of seeing the confirm page and being able to submit my order by clicking the button, it is jumping directly to the express page. I have had to change the button submit, but I cannot get it to go anywhere but that Paypal interference...
