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.

Much appreciated.
Is the plug in used for the simpler tasks, and if needed the product can be used? |

As an end user, and not a coder, I don't really worry about the difference.
But in the two you quote above, one is supported and one isn't. that would likely make the choice easy for me. But actually, we just have a paypal button on our homepage. I still can't figure out why I'd need to install one inside vbulletin. |

I'm just starting to learn all this. You put some "html/paypal" somewhere on your splash screen or on your forums pages right? |

think of a product as a bunch of plugins.
and a plugin as a bunch of file edits you dont have to do |

Sort of. Again, just on our homepage (index.html), I haven't yet been convinced of the need to see it inside the forum - we just tell them to go to the homepage and click the button. Paypal gives you the code to add to your page.
