Well, braintree also uses the Paypal API, but also provides other methods on the side. So if you want to use just Paypal, why would you pay Braintree extra fees?

what's the benefit of using paypal php api over braintree which offers paypal payments?
I need to add paypal integration into application I am building. I've searched for laravel paypal tutorials and packages and noticed ever few discussions here on laracast about paypal integration using some laravel packages that use php api.
What I am wondering why use php api if braintree which is supported by laravel directly offers paypal payments? What is the difference? What would I be missing if I use braintree?

I am looking for easy way out to implement this, implementing braintree seems natural since laravel directly supports it.
And I just read this:
Braintree will not charge any fees for PayPal transactions; only PayPal's processing fees apply.
So I am still wondering if using braintree api over paypal php api I will miss on any features? Anyone that has experince with this?
