noob question - "Product" vs "plug in" - what is the difference?

Running vBulletin 3.72 and I've never done anything like this but need to accept paypal.

What is the difference between a "plug in" and a "product"? I'm trying to decide between the two below. I'm quite curious what the difference is between a"plug in" and "product" in addition to deciding which one of these to pick. Hope it is ok to post this in here.

Also note that this is a product, not a plug-in. You must import it using the import product feature in the Admin CP.

Not Supported, Uses Plugins, Additional Files, Re-usable Code, Translations
