I've setup a IPN subscription system that works quite well, but there is 1 issue. If they have PayPal balance they can't use it, and it will only let them use their credit card? Is there any way to get around this? Maybe using PayPal API? instead of IPN...?
Thanks for any answers.
A credit card or other external funding source is required for subscriptions and billing agreements

Does anyone know if a PayPal account is always required when using Express Checkout? My requirement is that buyers should be able to pay with credit card only.
Looking at the demo here: https://demo.paypal.com/gb/demo/home an account is required.
Maybe an account is required for the client-side only integration but not for the server side REST integration?
Any answer much appreciated.
Thanks
It does not necessary (but pay with paypal balance is much safe) because you can Pay with Credit card too. The setting of accepting guest checkout can be found here (https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-website-payments)
I have created a credit card using rest pay pal without to mention the payer_id or external_customer_id because I don't need.
He is created and then when I try to pass the id to an agreement I read that to the funding instrument I need to set the credit_card_token in which is stored the credit_card_id returned from pay pal.
I did it all, but I can't create the agreement, I would appreciate if someone would know what I missed.
Thank you!
Unfortunately, PayPal Subscription APIs that include Billing Agreement, would not accept Vaulted Credit Card as a payment source. Please refer to github issue created here: https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-Python-SDK/issues/60
Hello everyone in my application i'm using pay-pal API with selecting mode as chain payment. My question is shall i use credit card for pay-pal chain payment?
thanks in advance
There is a "guest checkout" option enabled in the checkout flow for Adaptive Payments, so people can use a credit card without an account. There isn't any way to collect the card data yourself, though, and process it as a chained payment directly with an API.
Technically, you could get it done with Payments Pro to process the credit card, and then setup an automated solution of some sort (with IPN or CRON job on server, for example) to forward funds to 3rd party PayPal accounts.
I'm using PayPal Website Payments Standard for implementing Donation button in our application.
I have added Guest check out feature to give flexibility to the Users to Donate even if they Donot wish to have a Paypal Account.
For testing purpose in sandbox, I tried donating via guest check out option by using one of the preconfigured paypal's account, by using its credit card information.
The donated amount is reflected in the statements of the receiver.
But the amount is not debitted from the Donor's paypal balance..
Please suggest what I am doing wrong here.
I need to test the guest check -out feature and see the amount debitted from the account.
Please help
If donor is using a credit card it would not affect the PayPal balance. Credit card is a funding source on the account but shouldn't be tied to the account balance because theoretically it is a line of credit.
Can you help me to find answer if PayPal supports direct debit payments? I tried to find it in google or paypal documentation but still not sure. I know it's possible to link PayPal account to bank account but what about making payments this way to PayPal merchant account.
Thanks.
You wish for customers to pay directly with their bank account? They can do this through any PayPal checkout, and it's done via "instant transfer" if they have a credit card available as a backup funding source in the event the bank transfer fails to debit the funds.
So basically, if I'm understanding your questions correctly, offer PayPal as a payment method and customers who sign into their account can pay with their checking or savings account.
