I am new here and wondering if anybody can help me?
I was looking for a Live appID for paypal to use the adaptive API as an escrow on my wordpress site.
I am uing a wordpress template and I only need this appID.
I have googled it and it seems that paypal have now changed there procedure for applying for verification. All the tutorial videos advise me to go to:
https://www.paypal-apps.com/user/my-accounts/applications
But when I go there is does not give me the opion to select "new app" and apply for adaptive app aplication.
It says that "this portal will be permanently unavailable as of December 1, 2017"
Can anybody tell me where I would apply for the AppID now?
Thanks in advance!

The PayPal Adaptive Payments are no longer available. With regards to alternatives, please look at MarketPlaces. PayPal's MarketPlaces is open and you may test the product.
You may refer to the link below for more information.https://developer.paypal.com/docs/marketplaces/pp4mp/
If you would like to sign up, you can do so here : https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/partner-program/contact-us?ref=marketplace
Hope it helps.
PayPal's Adaptive API is a now a limited release. You cannot apply for a live app ID anymore.
Quote from developer.paypal.com:
"Important: Adaptive Payments is now a limited release product. It is
restricted to select partners for approved use cases and should not be
used for new integrations without guidance from PayPal."
I'm sure "Approved use cases" means your an enterprise level merchant with millions of transaction volume ;)
As mentioned, Adaptive Payments is not being approved in most cases any more. It's better to use billing agreements / reference transactions.
They are releasing a new system called Marketplaces before long, but it's not quite ready yet.

Flutter: Am integrating PayPal subscription API for recurring payment purpose, I am not able to find any working solution for that,
Can anyone give me a working solution for PayPal recurring payment?
Thanks in advance
Basically, you can create a paypal subscription plan on your business account.
After that (there's a wizard) you can copy the button link to subscribe into your code.
The hardest part is to manage your subscriptions.. you can use the cUrl APIs that you can find here https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/subscriptions/v1/
or, probably, find how to translate it into your programming language.
This guide can also help you https://developer.paypal.com/docs/subscriptions/full-integration/subscription-management/
Hope this hints can help you!
I struggled with this too, there's not much documentation online
I've been looking for a solution everywhere after I saw PayPal mentioned Metered Billing on their developer page.
I would like to use PayPal for my SaaS, implementing a metered billing solution for billing my customers on a monthly basis a variable amount depending on their usage rate of the service.
I do remember an option for authorizing PayPal to give some software permission to execute payments without any further action from the side of the customer. Unfortunately, I cannot find any valid documentation, and not sure if is possible at all right now.
Is metered billing an option using the PayPal API?
Thank you so much!
What you are looking for is a "Reference Transactions" solution, which use PayPal Billing Agreements. It can be tested in sandbox, but to use it in live, the business account would need to be approved for this feature by PayPal. To do this the account owner would need to contact their PayPal account manager or PayPal's general customer support (not MTS), and explain the business need for this feature.
As far as implementing the solution, the only public documentation is for classic APIs: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/express-checkout/ec-set-up-reference-transactions/ . Any newer API or vault solution isn't publicly documented currently, though I have seen some links surface about a v2 vault solution.
So, you can always contact PayPal's support and ask if there's something they'd rather you implement than classic APIs. The first hurdle is the business approval for the feature mentioned earlier.
I'm actually working for a client. I've succesfully implemented paypal pro on the website and everything is working fine, I believe I followed their process and guidelines to make it work the way they meant.
Thus, I've been reading this webpage to turn the website in procuduction, and somewhere in the policies and guidelines , they say (and it is rule nb 1 !):
To make API calls to the PayPal production servers, you must be a
registered PayPal Developer and have a PayPal Premier or Business
Account in good standing.
So ... does that mean that I can't turn it in prod by myself ? I'm not a certified Paypal neither a registered paypal dev.
Please Advice :)
Thanks
I 've found out that you simply need to register as a Paypal Developer. It takes a few minutes and its free. You need to sign up with your regular paypal account and then turn it into a developer one( just like Facebook did with their API).
Just click on sign up with paypal and follow the instructions:

I made it that way a few months ago.
Hope that help !
I'm looking for a hosted payment solution that can be made to work almost the same as a seamless payment solution, but I want hosted so I don't need to deal with the PCI compliance requirements.
I am currently using PayPal Website Payments Pro with the iFrame integration, its ok, but the problem is PayPal keeps pushing payments via 'PayPal' and you are unable to remove their stupid 'Pay with PayPal' button from the iFrame. Also there is no ability to customise the look of the content in the iFrame.
I came across CRE Secure's solution which was very clever: http://www.cresecure.com/pages.php?CDpath=3_63&osCsid=eam649uio10ug8igep1kgljgg0, however, they don't support AUD currency.
I would still prefer to use PayPal as my merchant gateway since it saves a lot of money from having a gateway + merchant bank account. For example the CRE Secure solution still hooks up the PayPal Website Payments Pro.
What solutions are there that allows me to have more ability to customise the content in the iFrame and doesn't have any branding of the payment provider, e.g. PayPal etc.
I know that Authorize.Net is one of the more popular services that offers these services.
Disclaimer: I work for Recurly.
Take a look at our product. We offer a fully hosted solution that you can embed on your site (although not recommended). We also offer a feature called Recurly.js (js.recurly.com) that you can fully embed on your site and own the experience, while still maintaining minimal PCI requirements. You can continue using PayPal as your gateway with our solution.
To keep this answer from being total spam (!), I'll also advise you to take a look at Samurai by Fee Fighters and Chargify. Let me know if you have questions, I'm happy to help :)
This is more a comment than an answer but I don't have the rep to comment.
Just found this is the docs
"This template also offers the following options:
Remove the Pay with PayPal button. Although the form offers the option to pay using
PayPal account by default, you can contact your account manager or customer support to
turn this option off."
So it seems you can remove the paypal button. Can anyone comment as to whether existing paypal customers will be able to use this gateway?
I am new at paypal payment system...
I have seen this been done, but i donn't find PayPals Documentation user friendly...
I need to make a payment gateway system, to allow users to use a shopping cart... then they could pay the total through paypal...
so is there a way to use paypal api tell how much the user should be charged e.g: $100 or £100 or however the product(s) might cost?
then confirm it... or if there is a tutorial (for newbies/dummie lol ) would be a great help.
Also which paypal option/system am I looking to use on this occasion.
hope i have explained myself clearly... thank you .
I can use PHP, and MySQL, JavaScript/JQuery, if necessary and I am confortable with understanding them.
(BTW PayPal is the worse documentation i have ever come across lol)
yes paypal can use a authorization & capture solution.
You can use GetExpressChecout with setExpressCheckout.
A good solution is to use a DoReferenceTransaction with theses method, in order to use recurring payment.
I have some sample but in c#.
