This is what I want to do?
I am building a online fundraising platform where people can create a page on my site and setup their payment colletion facility so the funds can go directly into their account.
I already have Stripe which allows me to do that where users essentially provide their Stripe account details and all those funds go into that account directly instead of mine.
Does anyone know if this is possible in Paypal as well?
I couldn't find it anywhere.
Example where it works now?
Ebay is perfect example where sellers setup their account and provide their paypal details. Then all funds go into their paypal account.
To be honest, I haven't seen this anywhere else on the same website domain.
Any solution ideas would be great!

I'm working on a shopping app. Merchants put their PayPal account on it then people can pay direct to it. But I can't find any thing about it in PayPal's Docs. Is there a way can make it work?
After X hours of searching and lost-ing inside documentation and this community, I understand that, if :
I'm non US developer
my client is not a US company
I want integrate Paypal in market-place
sending several emails to Paypal support
I need to:
register as Business Account US in paypal.com ( and not in sandbox )
find an US user because I'm not, otherwise I need to fake my address, zip code and state
enter in developer.paypal.com
Someone can answer me YES ? or the right procedure ?
Thanks

"I'm a non-U.S. developer. What products are available to me?
The REST API supports a number of countries and currencies. The REST API provides simple payment processing for common business needs, including PayPal payments, direct credit card payments, authorization and capture, and refunds. For more advanced payment solutions such as parallel and recurring payments, you can use the NVP/SOAP APIs.
If you've previously used our NVP/SOAP APIs, you can continue to use them. Using your old Sandbox email address and password, you can import existing Sandbox accounts on the Sandbox Accounts page."
I started on this page:

All the users on my site have a personal account. I would like to add paypal as a payment method to fund a user account. Upon a fund the user account will be credited so he will be able to pay for the services I provide. Is it possible?
Yes, this is possible you can write a script that after the users payment several lines of code get executed that activates your service and credits your account.
The easiest way of doing this is by using a payment provider that sits between paypal and your site. They can deliver you directly the scripts and API you need.
Ofcourse you can also make them yourself. Not sure if the PayPal API already includes this functionality.
I hope that this is of any help
Paypal provides an API to integrate and customize its payment platform to your website.
For starters this limk will give you a breakdown on what you can do with the api.

I am new to paypal and a bit of confused about its types of account and their rules and functionalities. A lot of questions came to my mind while going through those accounts and I searched for them but couldn't get a clear answer on these
1.What is the difference between personal business and developer's account?
2.Do we have to have a real bank account for paypal developer's account?
3.If it is so, then does paypal charges even for developer's account ?
4.If not can we get fake credit from paypal itself just for testing purpose?
and finally 5.where do a developer finally login to access the REST API which the paypal provides?
1) Not a whole lot. In most cases people use Personal accounts in the sandbox as payer accounts, and use business accounts for seller accounts. You need a business account setup for things like Payment Pro, Payments Advanced, etc.
2) No, when you create your developer sandbox accounts they will get setup with a fake bank account and credit card number.
3) No, any transactions made in the sandbox are completely fake, but it does allow you to complete transactions all the way through so you can see the entire flow, and then also see what it looks like in each user's PayPal account.
4) Answered in #3.
5) Not exactly sure what you're asking here. Just login to http://developer.paypal.com and go into the Documentation section. Everything you need is in there.
I have tested my application using sandbox account in paypal using IPN method.
Now I want to start live selling my products. I need you guys to help me which type of accounts is good or best. Do I need Merchant account or another type of account share me link where can i signup for seller account and also send me link where i can signup for one buyer account. And also please give some tip about live paypal. Its going to be my first paypal experience.
This is old, but I'll answer it in case someone else is in this boat.
You need a business account to access most of the API. The exception is the Payments Pro API (including GetTransactionDetails). For this, you need a Pro account.
