I'm trying to implement the new PayPal Orders API, here is what I did:
Create a developer account, add an app name and then I have Client Id and Secret.
Use OrderCreateRequest to create an Order
Get approvel_url from the resposne->result->links
Redirect to this approvel_url and finish the payment
Paypal will redirect back to my website.
But I never got any thing from the PayPal testing account,Please, what did I miss?
Edit:
On No.4, when redirects to the PayPal page, somehow it only shows 'Continue' button on the page, not the 'make payment' button.
You are missing:
Display an order review page to the payer.
Capture the order with an API call, which (if successful) will return the transaction ID in the purchase_units[0].payments.captures[0] object.
On success, display a thank you/confirmation page.
Without the final capture API call, there is no PayPal transaction.
You are also still using an old integration method based on redirects, which is for old websites. Current PayPal Checkout integrations use no redirects. At all.
Instead of redirecting, make two routes on your server, one for 'Create Order' and one for 'Capture Order', documented here. These routes should return only JSON data (no HTML or text). When a capture response is successful, store its resulting payment details in your database (particularly purchase_units[0].payments.captures[0].id, the PayPal transaction ID) and perform any necessary business logic (such as sending confirmation emails or reserving product) right before sending your return JSON.
Pair those two routes with the following approval flow: https://developer.paypal.com/demo/checkout/#/pattern/server

I am integrating PayPal Payments blind, this means I have no means to test, I've researched this more than a lot of times, and I can't seem to find any information about this.
When my client successfully pays me (integrated using REST API), and they are returned to the specified return URL, what are the exact parameters returned, primarily, what are the parameter keys for the Payment ID and the Payer ID.
Thank you for your assistance.

This doesn't make any sense; you should fully test your integration as you develop it, using the PayPal sandbox environment.
Redirecting away from your site is an old way to integrate PayPal, used by old websites. Current integrations do not use any redirects. At all.
Follow the Set up standard payments guide and make 2 routes on your server, one for 'Create Order' and one for 'Capture Order', documented here. Both routes should return only JSON data (no HTML or text). Inside the 2nd route, when the capture API is successful you should store its resulting payment details in your database (particularly purchase_units[0].payments.captures[0].id, which is the PayPal transaction ID) and perform any necessary business logic (such as sending confirmation emails or reserving product) immediately before forwarding your return JSON to the frontend caller.

I use java checkout-sdk-1.0.4 to develop PayPal payment. I successfully submit an order to PayPal, get the payment url.
I log in with personal account and click the continue button.
And then paypal just redirect to the url i set.
http://localhost:38001/checkout/submit/result?token=60X99286YV4394812&PayerID=9WXE2YPSNEJSN
I can see the api call history in developer dashboard.
But i can't see any transaction history in my business account and personal account.
How do I determine if my payment is successful。
I try this tutorial from here
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/business/checkout/server-side-api-calls/create-order/
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/business/checkout/server-side-api-calls/capture-order/
At the end, paypal return capture success.
Status Code: 201
Status: COMPLETED

But i still can't see transaction history in my personal test account.

You can't see any transaction because there is no transaction. There won't be any, unless you show the required order review page and perform the required capture API call when the customer returns to your site. (if you want to skip showing a review page and proceed directly with making the API call, then you should set the application_context object's user_action to 'PAY_NOW', so the last button's text is changed from 'Continue' to 'Pay Now' and the user knows to expect no review page. You still need to perform the API call to capture regardless).
The flow you are using of redirecting over to PayPal and then showing a review page or doing a capture call after being redirected back, is an old checkout flow and does not provide the best user experience. It is better to not use any redirects. At all.
Instead, make two routes on your server, one for 'Create Order' and one for 'Capture Order', documented here. These routes should return only JSON data (no HTML or text). The latter one should (on success) store the payment details in your database before it does the return (particularly purchase_units[0].payments.captures[0].id, the PayPal transaction ID)

Everything is good at sandbox environment, but something wrong in production.
First, i created a payment with enough information. It's still good.
Second, I redirect to apprvoved url for end user, user accepted payment.
Lastly, i make a request execute payment within payerId, but i received response error, it's return 400 and message name TRANSACTION_REFUSED.
Anyone help me!
Detail payment: here
Detail error: here
The payment attempt was rejected by PayPal. This error is normal behavior when a payment is declined.
Have the user use a different account or payment method.
Unrelated to the decline issue, you are using a deprecated v1/payments API, which should not be used for any new integrations. Here is how to change to a current v2/checkout/orders integration:
Make two routes on your server, one for 'Create Order' and one for 'Capture Order', documented here. These routes should return only JSON data (no HTML or text). The latter one should (on success) store the payment details in your database before it does the return (particularly purchase_units[0].payments.captures[0].id, the PayPal transaction ID)

When the user signed up on the website (new account) then I would like to give the user the opportunity to link Paypal account on our website so that they can make an order using Paypal payment method.
Is this the correct API documentation https://developer.paypal.com/docs/log-in-with-paypal/integrate/ or I'm I looking at the wrong place?
Log in with PayPal is for logging in. If you want payments for orders, use Checkout with PayPal.

I'm currently trying to implement a mechanism whereby i can return a customer to a success page containing an activated PIN allowing access to a piece of software. The process is a straight forward PIN purchase without any kind of user accounts or login system involved.
I have the payment buttons and IPN script in place and working fine, but this only allows me to email the PIN after a successful payment via the IPN script, since of course the two sessions are completely separate to maintain security.
My problem with this is that i can't be sure the customer has access to the same email they used to pay with via Paypal. I had the idea of asking the user to enter which email they would like the PIN sent to prior to the Paypal redirection and then sending it as a custom value.. but then came visions of a mammoth backlog of support emails where users have entered the wrong email. I would really like to be able to redirect to a success page containing the PIN.
Thanks in advance.
I would recommend using the Express Checkout API. The payer experience is very similar to standard payment buttons, however, the user is always guaranteed to return back to your site, so you can display whatever you want on your final page.
That documentation can be a little scary, but it's really just a matter of utilizing 3 API calls.
SetExpressCheckout - This is used to setup a new transaction and will return a token that you'll append to the end of a redirect URL to PayPal. The user is sent to PayPal, they login and agree to pay, and are then sent back the ReturnURL that you specify in this request.
GetExpressCheckoutDetails - Now back on your site/application, you use this API to obtain information about the buyer like their shipping address, address status, payer status, payer ID, etc. You will need the Payer ID for the final API call.
DoExpressCheckoutPayment - This is very similar to the SetExpressCheckout request, but no transaction is completed until this call is completed. Only then does the money move.
Again, those final calls are done on your site so you can use the API response data to update your database and display details on the final page however you want to.
Keep in mind that payments could still be pending for one reason or another, so you'll want to check the status (returned in the DECP response) and display appropriate information on the final page.
IPN's will still be triggered with Express Checkout so you can adjust the IPN script to handle pending payments or anything else you may want to automate outside the checkout flow.
If you happen to be working with PHP my class library for PayPal will make these calls very quick and easy for you.
