I'm integrating BlueSnap with my website,
Is it possible to add the commission parameters "commissionPercent" to my form request like this:
https://www.bluesnap.com/jsp/checkout.jsp?currency=EUR&developerId=XXXXXXX&commissionPercent=30&vendorId=XXXXXX
No you cannot add commission parameters "commissionPercent" to your form request

Say I have a given email that is not mine (a customer) xx#gmail.com.
Say I would like to let another unknown customer pay money to this email. (= marketplace)
So in my website anyone who click a button is able to pay using Paypal to this given email. I have no relationship with any of them.
Is it possible with the API ? if so where is the reference to it ?
Is there any generic structure to create a link to request money based on a given email xx#gmail.com ?
In Adaptive Payment, Paypal says :
Adaptive Payments is now a limited release product
Which means ?
This can be done with the Express Checkout APIs, but based on what you're saying I would recommend you just use PayPal Standard.
This URL can be used as a template to build a payment request. Just replace the email in the business parameter with the email you want the payment to go to. Then anybody can use that URL to send a payment to that person.
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&bn=AngellEYE_PHPClass&business=email#gmail.com&amount=25.00¤cy_code=USD
So you can see this specifies the email address for where the payment should go, and it also includes the amount and currency code.
You can add any parameters you want from the PayPal Standard Variables Reference.
Wanted to know if paypal allowed this functionality within one form or if I have to create two separate forms in order to obtain this functionality. Currently building a donation widget for a client per their request.
If there are any documentation regarding this within paypal a link would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
You can do that no problem. Just build your form with options for one-time or recurring payments, and then use the Express Checkout API to process the checkout accordingly.
If you're working with PHP you can take a look at my class library for PayPal, which will make the Express Checkout API calls very simple for you.
The calls you'd be utilizing are:
SetExpressCheckout
GetExpressCheckoutDetails
DoExpressCheckoutPayment (for one-time payments)
CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile (for subscriptions)
I need to submit the contents of my form from a form that computes the price of the order to the paypal checkout so that clients don't have to reenter product description and prices.
What options do I have?
If you want to stick to basic HTML forms you can use Payments Standard, specifically the cart upload method.
If you're comfortable with web service API's I'd recommend going with Express Checkout.
There are other options, but those are what I'd recommend starting with.
There is a request money by email feature on paypal - (where you can put email of some person and he can send you money)
Does it have an API ? (So I want to request money by email from my application)
So the answer is - no such API
It looks like you can send invoices (request money) by email with the Invoicing Service API
You can create your own personal PayPal.Me/name link (it's open to both personal and business use) and it will be associated with your PayPal account.
Whenever you need to collect money from anyone, just send them your PayPal.Me link via email (or chat, SMS...).
Your payer clicks the link, enters the amount, and that's it. The money is in your PayPal account in seconds (you'll pay the standard PayPal fee for a business account).
To request a specific amount just add it to the end of your link. For example, use
PayPal.Me/name/25
to request 25 USD. You can request a specific currency by adding the currency code to the amount, e.g.
PayPal.Me/name/25EUR
IT has that facility. you have to generate url. its mentioned at
https://www.x.com/developers/community/blogs/ppmtschad/creating-hyperlink-instead-paypal-button
First method is to use the Invoice API to generate the request and have paypal send out the email.
See https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/Merchant/bizui/IntegrationDirect-outside
Second method is to use the buy now buttons. First create the product in the paypal account, then create a buy now button for it. It'll give an option for Email. You can then send that link out whenever you want.
See https://www.x.com/developers/community/blogs/ppmtschad/creating-hyperlink-instead-paypal-button and
Third option is the rarely advertised custom cart URL. I don't have anything that details this however the following sample link can get you started.
https://secure.paypal.com/xclick/business=EMAIL%40DOMAIN.COM&item_name=Cart_Invoice_Custom_Name&amount=123.45&return=www.yourwebsite.com¤cy_code=EUR
Remember to properly URL encode things. All the variables for dynamic buttons that I've tried work fine. Details of those are at https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_pdn_xclick_techview_outside
Gday All,
I am developing a site that uses PayPal to take online payments.
I need to be able to send my client an email with the link to PayPal in order to pay.
In this link I need a way to set a unique value (for example bookingId) that I can use to add the receipt number to the correct booking via PayPal's payment notification feature.
Does anyone know what custom value I can set in order to achieve this?
Cheers,
Michael
The "item_name" field will be displayed to the user and can be set to whatever you like. I use it for conference registration ID's, while using item_number to track what was actually purchased.
Use Invoice field.
You can use any of the following passthrough variables:
custom
item_number or item_number_x
invoice
See page 409 in the PayPal Website Payments Standard Integration Guide:
