The spreedly FAQ implies that you need a merchant account.

  "How does Spreedly pay me?

  Spreedly never touches your customers' money - it goes straight into your merchant account."

is this not the case?

I assume the "merchant account" is a PayPal account in this case.

Pay pal Website Payments Pro, yeah.

Paypal covers both Merchant and Gateway bases. So do Braintree and a few others.

If you have your own merchant account you can use paypal for just the gateway, but I don't think this happens very often.
