Which type of SSL certificate is required for use with Paypal Pro?

New to Paypal Pro. I'm processing encrypted credit cards through my shopping cart to Paypal Pro via API, not saving any card information.

This is the information that I see on my certificate:

Certificate Type : Comodo Positive SSL 2048 bit
Protocol : TLS 1.2
Key Exchange : ECDHE_RSA
Cipher Suite : AES_128_GCM

The reason I'm asking is because I have been researching this and the internet is flooded with biased information that claims "EV SSL is essential for eCommerce."

I don't believe this to be true, considering what I've observed with the websites I've recently entered my card number into.

Any SSL certificate signed by a recognized CA will be sufficient. Even a free Let's Encrypt certificate will work just fine.

The only purpose of an EV certificate is to make your company name show up in the URL bar of a web browser. EV certificates don't authenticate or encrypt your data any differently than other SSL certificates, and nothing that I'm aware of requires them for server-to-server communications.
