we are currently creating an app for marketplace where we are hoping to get airbnb model implemented. Where buyer will pay the seller and we will take our cut from the seller. We actually don't want to get payment ourself for the sale and handle the disputes for order shipping or chargebacks.
The customer support from PayPal said, that there is not marketplace solution for small business & startups in Europe. But we need PayPal as an payment option in our marketplace.
My research so far:
I heard, that you could connect PayPal & Stripe with zapier. But I don't know how to handle the payments through that solution.
Maybe someone had the same challenge and could help us with that.

I have a multi merchant website and in that what i need to do is when customer purchase a product 5% of the money is gone to website paypal account for service and rest of the money will be gone to seller paypal account. I need to integrate paypal in that. As paypal adaptive payments is deprecated and paypal is not providing any other solution to do that.
Can anyone please tell me any paypal service which can make it possible.
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like you need marketplace APIs. If you need PayPal APIs in specific, you can look into PayPal for Marketplaces. Braintree (A PayPal service) has better APIs here.
Stripe Connect is also a competitor with good reputation.
With all these APIs, you can control funds disbursement by specifying percentages as you mentioned in your post. I don't know what your complete use case is. So I'd suggest researching all 3 of these and choosing the one that best fits your budget and business model.
Create a mathematical equation to give you the difference between
the total and your 5% (or the seller's 95%).
Process the entire amount into your account.
Pay the seller their (95%) share by transferring that amount to their account.
I would really like to use Paypal for my marketplace I am developing. I need to allow users to enter their paypal email address and whenever customers purchase that users products I take a small fee then the rest of the money goes to the user who listed the product.
What paypal service is the best for these types of payments? (me taking a transaction fee and sending the rest of the money to another paypal account)
I was looking into paypal express checkout, but can't find any info on sending some payouts to the users listing products. Also does express checkout require that the customer have a paypal account?
In case you are wondering and finding an answer, Express Checkout now comes with Parallel Payments. Read it here. As Adaptive Payment Parallel Payment now deprecated, the option left is using Express Checkout.
I have been trying to get a sensible answer from PayPal for days now. They are planning to release a protocol to support a market place in 2020 but not date yet. They have also confirmed (after talking to sales & tech support) that PayPal cannot be used for market places where your platform is nothing more than a broker.
Stripe Connect (Standard account) is probably the best solution out there.
I'm trying to create a custom form with the ability to process credit card direct donations, as well as paypal account donations, and the ability to select whether the amount paid is a regular monthly donation or a one time. I cannot find documentation anywhere on how to use the paypal REST API for donations. There doesn't seem to be an intent type for donation anywhere, or any option for monthly or one time payments. Does anyone have any experience with this? I understand how the commercial payment API works, but I'm not sure what options need to be changed for donations.
The easiest way is to add Buy Now button to your site. It is just plain HTML code, no server code is needed. When someone donated you recieve email with details including amount of payment and email of donator. So you can reply him "Thank you" :)
Please note, in some countries you should verify your paypal account before accepting payments. It can be done in "View limits" menu.
After having a good read through PayPal's docs, I'm still lost.
FYI in Canada and US it's called "Website Payments Pro", otherwise it's "PayPal Payments Pro".
I need to setup a way of:
User subscribing to a yearly fee
User can setup subscriptions WITHOUT a paypal account (pro feature)
This sounds really simple, but when you start searching for more technical docs about that matter I can only find articles like these:
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/how-to-setup-recurring-payments/
Which is fine, but this isn't for PayPal Payments Pro. I heard I'll have to use server-side calls to the API but all I can find is people telling me to "create a button".
But the buttons, for some reason, doesn't support Pro features and ask users to register on PayPal to get subscribed which my client doesn't want at all.
Could anyone share me some light about those?
I find PayPal's docs misleading. I really really need to get this done as soon as possible but I cannot seem to find good docs or a good working example for this.
Thanks for your help, it's greatly appreciated!
PayPal Payments Pro is the new name for Website Payments Pro. The button way of doing things is called PayPal Payments Standard.
See https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/paypal-payments-pro/integration-guide/WPRecurringPayments/. Recurring payments can be set up with ExpressCheckout (buyer has a paypal account and logs in to paypal site to approve subscription during setup) or DoDirectPayment (you provide buyer's credit card info when setting up the subscription)
There are a few ways to do it, but if you don't want to mess around with API calls, then I would suggest using a subscription button and signing up for Enhanced Recurring Payments. This allows you to accept subscriptions from buyers who don't have a PayPal account and don't want to sign up for one. To sign up, go to https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/Marketing/merchant/ERPOverview.
I am trying to set up a Shopify store that sells subscription products so I need recurring payments. I know there are a couple options like PayPal or Chargify but are there any better options out there? I'm not sure how easy the PayPal implementation would be (I'd love feedback about that) and Chargify is really expensive. I also tried Shopify's Stripe integration but Shopify doesn't send Stripe the full payment info so I couldn't set up a recurring payment inside of Stripe. I'm also open to other products outside of Shopify if anyone has suggestions.
I don't work for Chargify or Shopify BUT...
I guess you need to define really expensive? The cheap plan for Chargify subscriptions is ~$120 a month... which amounts to an average Joe's coffee budget.
I setup Stripe for a client so that when they make a payment on a "page" with the Stripe payment form, a recurring payment is initiated and the customer account info is transferred to Stripe too. Until Shopify introduces recurring payments, this is a decent stopgap measure.
