I am using paypal mass payment for my marketplace, but each time I use the payouts API it keeps using my paypal balance as the funding source. The problem my paypal account will never get funded, so it will always be 0.00
Is there a way where I can change the primary funding source as my bank account instead of my paypal funds?
PayPal Payout API always uses PayPal balance amount, there is no facility for changing the funding source to a bank account. This is an expected behavior.

We use the Braintree Dropin UI with paypal enabled.
It works fine except for one thing: if the user has a balance at paypal, it does not give them the option to pay with their Paypal balance. They can pay with any payment method they have registered with paypal (CC, bank account), but not with their balance.
Is there a special option in the dropin UI for this? Something we need to setup in the BT control panel?
Full disclosure: I work at Braintree. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact support.
If you're using our PayPal Vault flow, buyers won't be able to choose balance as a funding source, however, PayPal will always use the balance first with all future transactions. Braintree PayPal Vault flow uses PayPal's Billing Agreements feature and PayPal requires customers to have a funding source other than PayPal balance during the Billing Agreement sign up process to ensure costs can always be covered.
With that said, once a customer goes through the PayPal Vault flow, PayPal will always use the balance first to complete payments in future, so when using the Vaulted payment method, PayPal checks if the user has any funds in the balance and other funding sources such as credit cards are only used if the user's balance can't cover the payment. They should be able to use their balance if they have sufficient funds on subsequent charges.
Is there a payment gateway (API), that makes customers pay in USD and provides you the payment in a desired cryptocurrency, like Ripple?
Or is there an other way to collect payments on a website and convert them to CCs in an automated way via API calls or so ...
PayPal doesn't support this type of transfer. When you get the payment from your customers in USD, the amount will credit to your PayPal account balance. You will need to withdraw the PayPal account balance to a local bank account.
Can you help me to find answer if PayPal supports direct debit payments? I tried to find it in google or paypal documentation but still not sure. I know it's possible to link PayPal account to bank account but what about making payments this way to PayPal merchant account.
Thanks.
You wish for customers to pay directly with their bank account? They can do this through any PayPal checkout, and it's done via "instant transfer" if they have a credit card available as a backup funding source in the event the bank transfer fails to debit the funds.
So basically, if I'm understanding your questions correctly, offer PayPal as a payment method and customers who sign into their account can pay with their checking or savings account.
I am building a project that might be a bit complicated and I have to use paypal for this.
There are many users in the app and they can be receivers, payers or both. The receivers/sellers provide certain services and the payers have to pay their sellers monthly. So if the user agrees to pay, the paypal will charge him monthly and automatically. The users need to register as paypal member and get authorized from paypal beforehand so I can use their emails for the transactions in the app.
I am thinking of using paypal express checkout with recurring apis, but I am not sure if it is the right decision and no clue if it is working. Any suggestions? thanks.
You could use either Express Checkout, Subscriptions w/ Website Payments Standard, or Enhanced Recurring Payments w/ Website Payments Standard. Either one of these would allow you to set up recurring payments. Enhanced Recurring Payments is the only one that would have a monthly charge associated with it. Express Checkout and Subscriptions w/ Website Payments Standard would not have a monthly charge. However, Enhanced Recurring Payments allows the buyer to sign up for a subscription without having to have a PayPal account, and they can just use their credit card. Express Checkout and Subscriptions w/ Website Payments Standard require the buyer to have a PayPal account. They can still be billed via credit card, but they have to have the credit card attached to their PayPal account. The subscription would bill the PayPal account, and the PayPal account would pull the funds from the credit card on the account.
With a PayPal account, your users can receive or send funds based on the country these accounts are located in.
Question:
Is it possible to set up a subscription via Paypal api Express Checkout, so you can pay via Credit card and Paypal login. The Paypal login works no problem, but I can not get it to work with credit cards at the moment.
I have set the NVP SOLUTIONTYPE = Sole
I know you can set up a paypal subscription button, but the client want to sell a product (single payment or instalments) and add a subscription if user wants to sign up.
Many thanks for any help.

UPDATE:
For anyone else who has this problem I got this response back from Paypal:
With subscriptions and Express Checkout, they will be PayPal only. Any time you specify a billing type in your SetExpressCheckout call, it turns it into a PayPal only transaction. The only way you would be able to set up a recurring payment via credit card (without a button) is to use the Website Payments Pro and Pro Recurring Payments. Website Payments Pro would allow the customer to enter their credit card directly on the website for one-time payments and also you can set it up to accept the credit card information for recurring payments. You wouldn't be able to turn that one-time payment into a recurring payment at a later time but if you wanted to set them both up at the start that's certainly possible. Also, you would be able to use reference transactions with your Pro payments as well.
Here is a link to the paypal manual for Paypal Pro.
Be warned, with Paypal Pro you can not accept American Express cards, if your paypal account is not American - which sadly is what I'm trying to do :(
No, this is not possible with Express Checkout Recurring Payments.
You must purchase Direct Payment Recurring Payments (an addon to Website Payments Pro) in order to set up profiles direct via credit card.
Note that Direct Payment Recurring Payments is only available in the US, UK and Canada at the moment.
This is not possible to make direct payment with Express Checkout,for this you have got create and account on paypal and please set only two options to working credit/debit card with Express Checkout.
