I just want to know if there is a possibility to a user to make in-app purchases directly in his SIM card account.
Thanks in advance.
By simcard, If you mean the card provided by the service provider then you have to contact the clients/users service provider directly. Then you have to go through their rules to accept the payment. Service providers requires you to be a verified 3rd party so contact them first.

I'm developing an app having customers and sellers. For payments I'm using stripe API. I've already completed the customer part by accepting the payment from them on purchase through their cards. Now I want to transfer payments to the sellers, but stripe doesn't provide the feature to transfer payment to the bank accounts of external users.
I tried creating Stripe accounts of sellers from API using stripe connect, but they are showing as restricted and require business information of every seller which I don't have.
If anyone knows a solution and has an alternative, kindly help me.
I had the same scenario. I sent an e-mail to the support team and they said that currently stripe does not support direct transfer but may in future. You can transfer amount to those users who are registered with you as a stripe connect user and for that you have to force user to register on stripe.
You can register on some other platform like:

OR
You can provide a gift voucher to the user:

I am a college student and I want to launch an online store for dropshipping. I am allowed to have one credit card, where I live, say Mastercard. But for the customers convenience I would like to enable VISA, Discover, Mastercard, American express, Debit card, and PayPal checkout. I know that there is a PayPal credit card that allows payments from all these cards but it requires a business license, which I am not allowed to have as a student. Is there a way I can receive payments from the above mentioned cards to a Mastercard? If there is a better solution to my problem I would like to hear it from you. Thanks!
When you set up an online store, you will also be signing up with a Payment gateway that will be collecting money on your behalf and transferring it to you. In this way, you will be able to set up your store to be able to accept any payment methods supported by the payment gateway(s) that you set up, and any money you make will be transferred from the gateway to the account that you registered with. This might be a credit card or directly to a bank account depending on what the gateway supports.
Using a trusted payment gateway (such as Stripe, Braintree, PayPal, Authorize.net, etc.) will let you focus on your store and not have to worry about accepting credit card information directly, and you will get your earnings transferred to you regularly in a form that you can accept. Note also that taking credit card info directly comes with a host of security concerns and regulations. By using a payment gateway you will never see anyone's credit card info directly, so you won't have to worry about all the security and legal concerns surrounding that. The gateway companies make their money by taking a small transaction fee for each purchase, but this fee is definitely worth it to get your business started.
I am working on a software product that will support credit card processing via PayPal. The issue I am running into when setting up the PayPal Developer Account, is it appears to be structured to be set up only by the person processing payments. How should I set this account up? Do I set it up as if I were processing the payments directly and then just swap out the credentials for each user?
Thanks for the help.
So you're trying to make calls on behalf of 3rd party account holders? If that's right then yes, you could have them enter their own API credentials into your app settings and then swap them out accordingly, or you could use the Permissions API.
We currently use the Website Payments Pro recurring billing solution from Paypal for a SaaS web application (user signs up for a monthly billing subscription to our service) but are becoming increasingly concerned that all of our credit card data is 'locked in' to Paypal and we can never get access to it.
The ideal for us is at the point of signup to store a users credit card details in a third party system (vault) whilst processing the transaction through Paypal's Website Payments Pro billing solution. This would give us the freedom to change our payment processor without having to ask everyone of our users to re-enter their card details - storing payment details in a third party PCI compliant system would allow us to do this.
Does anyone know of any such solutions that would allow us to store credit card details without transacting against them and whether these would be available to UK based companies ?
Thanks - appreciate any help you can give.

PayPal now offers such a service
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/api/#vault
I found that Briantree.com offers that service
I'm not aware of anything that does this (but would love to hear otherwise). The reason it doesn't exist I would assume is because 'my' PCI-DSS requires that any third party that I pass card details to is also PCI compliant.
Therefore, this 'vault' provider would only be able to return to you a full card number if you were fully PCI compliant (and if you were, then why would you need to use a 3rd party vault?!)
So the best you could optimistically hope for is a 3rd party that both vaults the details and also allows interaction with 'n' other payment gateways, but this would obviously only allow you to switch between gateways that the vault supports. Given that the 'vault' would need to generate income, as well as the gateways that it communicates with, I can't see this being cheaper than choosing and interacting with a single gateway directly.
I want to implement like this application

Different kind of credit card payment through PayPal in my native iPhone application. I searched, most documents in paypal sites, they are showing, I need to entry paypal account/email address also to transact. But upon the application, I can see, directly he entered only credit card name, careditcard type, cvv and amount for his transaction?
Anybody any idea? How i implement this??
That application is using the PayFlow Pro merchant API:
https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/howto_gateway_payflowpro
Note that PayFlow Pro requires an existing merchant account -- you can't just use it to send money to your Paypal account. (This is probably why the iOS application you linked to has had poor reviews: the description doesn't make it clear that the application is useless on its own.)
