I'm making an application that uses Adaptive Payments.
I make a preapproved payment and after that a parallel payment to two accounts.
In both accounts I have to claim the money as shown here:
In both account I have to manually accept every single payment, which is quite user unfriendly. Is there a way to send the money in a parallel payment so that the user doesn't have to click Accept on the payment? The account are opened in USD, but I'm sending EUR is that the problem ?
Well if you want the money to be claimed automatically, the receiver should hold the same currency as the sender is sending the amount. Otherwise, it will fall into unclaimed status and the receiver has to manually accept them.

Is it possible to transfer money from one PayPal account to another without touching my paypal account, but I get notified when the payment happened?
scenario:
Seller on my website uploads product
Buyer comes on the website and purchase
If Seller receives the amount from buyer
Me (the websites unlock product for download (money dosen't touch the websites account)
coding Language dosen't really matter, if not possible is it possible to a business account with automated payout to the seller?
Use PayPal Checkout with a server backend
Specify a payee object in the purchase_unit: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/integration-features/pay-another-account/
I am working on a WebService that will accept payments from PayPal. There will be two sides (seller and buyer) and I will take commissions. However, I don't want to direct the payment instantly to the seller. The seller will complete the service through some conversations, but I want to guarantee to the buyer that it will receive the service as he wants and at the same time, guarantee the seller that he will receive his money.
Is there a way to reserve/freeze/hold the money from the buyer's PayPal account or do I need to take all the service money instantly to my account and then direct the money afterwards, after taking my commission, when the service is marked as completed by both parties? What is the optimal way to achieve what I am trying to do?
The delayed chained payment using Adaptive payment API would be the optimal way for your business pattern. It allows you to keep the money for 90 days during which you can pay the sellers their portion any time. You can refer to this page https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/adaptive-payments/integration-guide/APIntro/#id091QF0I30YK to understand the basic function, and see this guide https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/adaptive-payments/ht_ap-delayedChainedPayment-curl-etc/ for implementation.
Let us assume that some money is deposited to the admins account when a user signups . Now the same user when goes to buy a item he gets some kind of discount for ex:- the item he wants to buy costs $500 but he gets $100 discount so he has to pay only $400 . Now the remaining $100 will be diposited from admins account to the sellers account . so the seller gets $400 from buyer and $100 from admin in a single transaction .
Is it possible in Paypal ? Your ideas/suggestions would be helpful. Please do it.
Currently there is no single API call that would do what you are looking for. You could code it where you accept the payment and then make a 2nd payment out to the seller. You could even look into Chained Payment Adaptive Payments for part of it (You are the primary receiver and accept the payment and then chain most of that payment over to the secondary receiver).
You should be able to do this with PayPal adaptive payments, using parallel payment. It is the same as chained, except there is no primary leg. All the payment legs would have the same receiver, 6 is total number of receivers in the parallel case.
To reverse if either fails: reverseAllParallelPaymentsOnError to true
How do you intend to authorize the payment? If you are using the admins credentials to make API call this might work. Buyer explicitly approves payment, admin (since his credentials) implicitly approves payment.
I'm having a few issues here, I'm using Angelleye:
1.) Currently, when a user clicks to ‘Pay’ on my website, a popup appears and they must then enter their PayPal email address. We take a commission on all items sold on our marketplace, so we need to use Adaptive payments.
2.) In addition, the auction listings that a user creates on our marketplace can be in either $ (USD) or £ (GBP), but it seems that if the user creates a listing that isn’t in their main PayPal currency, they can’t receive payment.
Is the PayPal email popup necessary and can we allow users to receive payments in currencies other than their main PayPal currency?
Thanks!
1) There are different options for how to handle the payment flow with adaptive payments. You can use a pop-up window or a lightbox, for example. All of the details for how to setup the flow you want are available here: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/adaptive-payments/integration-guide/APIntro/
2) I'm pretty sure this depends on their payment receiving preferences. When receiving a payment that isn't their primary currency they could end up paying additional fees, so I'm pretty sure they would have to specify that they accept this within their account. Alternatively, merchants can create separate currency balances within a PayPal account, so you could actually maintain a USD balance and a separate GBP balance within the same account. This way you could receive money without getting hit with currency conversion or cross-border fees, and the merchant wouldn't have to specifically accept it.
Is there any way to add funds to my PP account from associated bank account using PayPalAPI ?
All operations must be made without user interaction.
For example: a cron runs every month(last day) - and transfers a specific amount from bank to PayPal, so later I can make a mass pay.
I'm not sure why you're trying to do this.
In the event of making a payment out of your PayPal account when you do not have the funds to cover it, PayPal will automatically pull those funds from your funding source (bank account) to cover the transaction. See ExecutePayment.
Given the above, as far as just transferring funds from your bank to your paypal account.. I'd bet they don't see a reason to do this. After all there's no real reason to just transfer funds to paypal, unless those funds are involved in immediately sending a payment to someone else..
