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.
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)
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 have a website where my users can create custom pages to sell virtual things. At the moment, the only payment gateway their buyers can use is Stripe since it's the only my website currently supports. I would like to add PayPal support, so my sellers can enter their PayPal email, then buyers can purchase goods using PayPal.
I looked into PayPal's API, and the only thing I could really find was the checkout API for commerce. I'm not interested in having any of that fancy API, or needing to have sellers enter API key(s). I simply want sellers to enter their PayPal email, and boom - done. I also do not want to have to get a verified business on PayPal if possible since I still need to do a lot of work before submitting my application for approval from PayPal.
Example:
Joe creates a page on my website to sell pictures. He wants to add PayPal support, so he goes to my website's dashboard, enters his PayPal email, and then clicks confirm. Now his buyers can purchase his pictures using PayPal.
Where should I be looking for information on this?
Create a PayPal business account. 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.

To send the funds to another account, specify a payee in the order creation request.
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.

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.

But I can't see any transaction history in my business account and personal account. enter image description here
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)
