We allow our customers to create invoices using our app, and then send them to their clients to be paid.
The current payment options we offer are stripe and offline payment.
We want to add PayPal as a payment method too.
Adaptive payment seems like the only way to do this, but it is no longer available?
*I've had a business PayPal account for over 6 years.
* Our app is plutio.com
If you could apply for an APP ID from below page, you are still able to create invoice via PayPal Adaptive Payments.

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/products/invoicing/?mark=invoicing
And besides, PayPal has provided new REST API for invoicing. Please check below page for its details.

I want to integrate Paypal as an online payment option into my website and have been looking at their documentation and apis for days, but I can't for the life of me figure out which product should I use and which apis work with what products. It seems they have got several products like payflow, web payments pro, paypal payments pro and several others. Then they have also got orders api, payments api, nvm/soap api, JS SDK etc. Can someone suggest which product/api should I choose when I am looking at the following factors:
Ability to pay sellers in UK and US.
Make payments through my website, be it moving buyer to their own page, opening payment window in an iFrame or provide an access token to make payment though my backend.
Ability to take future payments.
Ability to programmatically cancel payments.
Ability to programmatically refund payments.
Subscriptions.
You need different products for different things. For future headless payments that are not recurring on a schedule, you'll have to talk to PayPal
For recurring payments on a schedule, which are called subscriptions, use https://developer.paypal.com/docs/subscriptions/ . There is no SDK for this latest subscriptions API, you need to use direct API calls.
For one-type payments, use PayPal Checkout https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/ . If you want a server API integration, here's the front-end: https://developer.paypal.com/demo/checkout/#/pattern/server , and the two routes you'll need on your server are with the Orders V2 API to 'Set Up Transaction' and 'Capture Transaction', which have a guide here: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/reference/server-integration/
That should be enough to get you started
I have been building a marketplace application with an iOS app as front-end that drives the business. The app can accept payment either through a paypal account or a credit card. I have integrated Braintree iOS SDK into my app and linked the paypal business account in Braintree controlpanel. The funds processed using PayPal are being routed to the paypal and those processed using cards end up in the bank account linked with Braintree merchant.
Now, the core of the application is to take a certain commission and payout the rest to the sellers involved in transaction. I have taken the seller's PayPal ID at the time of registration to pay them.I have explored the PayPal docs and found that Payouts REST API does exactly what I need provided I maintain the required balance in the merchant account.This is where things came to a standstill. Specifically, I need to get confirmation on the below points
1.As there are two different places(paypal merchant and bank account
linked to braintree) where my funds are parked, Is there any
possibility that the transaction could directly be funded from the
bank account if the same is linked to both merchant accounts?
2.Will PayPal withdraw the entire amount at once or in partial
transactions.
Can anyone who have been in a similar situation suggest how to go about paying out the sellers. I am open to any alternative that satisfies all the requirements of the app.
I am creating a booking site, where the public can make bookings and then pay using their card. I want to take the card details and send them to PayPal via their REST api, and then send the amount to a merchant who will be one of our customer's selling the booked product.
Is this possible to do? PayPal documentation is confusing at best. I currently have the card payments being taken successfully and paid into our own 'developer' account, but what I can't seem to find is how to credit the money to a PayPal account that isn't our own instead.
I have looked into the PayPal Permissions API but again the documentation is unclear, and I don't see where I specify the merchants id or email address when calling RequestPermissions.
What you're looking to do can be accomplished by using PayPal's Adaptive Payments product (https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/products/adaptive-payments/). Unfortunately, Adaptive Payments are not currently available with REST APIs. So if you have the option of going with classic APIs, this is currently available to you.
i am creating a small marketplace where sellers can sell their products and receive payments to their PayPal account directly from the buyer.
i've previously been using "website payments standard" but am looking to switch to the express checkout API to generate a one-time payment token each time someone purchases something and which then allows buyer#email.com to send a payment directly to seller#email.com without the involvement of my PayPal account.
is that possible?
i've only found one option in the documentation at https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/merchant/SetExpressCheckout_API_Operation_NVP/ called "PAYMENTREQUEST_n_SELLERPAYPALACCOUNTID", but is that the correct way to send the entire payment from the buyer to the seller without any amount going to me?
also, do i NEED to have my own "USER" and "PWD" to generate an API token each time if I am receiving no payment mysefl?
Think you are looking for Adaptive payments.
Adaptive payments handles payments between a sender of a payment and one or more receivers of the payment. You are an application owner, such as a merchant that owns a website, the owner of a widget on a social networking site, the provider of a payment application on mobile phones, and so on. Your application is the caller of Adaptive Payments API operations.
So, in general if you want to act as API caller and to felicitate the money transfer between buyer and seller, Adaptive payment is the way to go.
Steps to go live with Adaptive Payments
I need to allow users to pay via Credit Card on my site. I'm trying to find suitable API option but can't find it. I have implemented payment via PayPal so far, but now I need to allow users to pay via credit card without account on PayPal.
Anyone knows what specific payment type that is?
Here is one way:
First, you'll need a Website Payments Pro merchant account with PayPal. Then, become familiar with the DoDirectPayment API, which will allow you to
process transactions on your site with PayPal working in the background. Customers will be able to fill out their credit card information, etc., on your site without visiting PayPal directly.
This also means that customers will not be required to have a PayPal account in order to make a transaction on your site.
If you proceed this way, you will need SSL certificates, and are required to implement Express Checkout for customers who do not want to make their transaction on your site.
Sample Code to get your feet wet. Good luck!
