I am wondering when I pay using REST API, are there any email receipts? When I try using Sandbox accounts, it appears there are none?
When using the REST API there are e-mail receipts sent (Basic PayPal payment email). However in sandbox mode they do not send e-mail receipts.
If you wish for your emails to be more custom I recommend looking into SendGrid for automating e-mails. I used them in my last project to send 500+ transactional emails out a day.

I have setup the PayPal express API buttons but it seems when i make a payment all goes through successfully however, from the seller side i am not receiving any emails telling me i have received a payment or such. I looked at the email notifications on the developer site there is nothing being sent out.
Am i doing something incorrectly or does the express checkout not send emails.
My integration is similar to this https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/integration-features/auth-capture/#
Thanks
Ensure the sandbox Business account receiving the payment has a confirmed email in the sandbox environment.
Log into it at https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/businessprofile/settings/email
Send the confirmation from there, if necessary
Read and proceed with the confirmation, via https://developer.paypal.com/developer/notifications
All documentation I can find for PayPal development is focused on capturing payments from a customer. Even IPN and Webhook events are all about taking action when payments are received.
I operate a small press and my primary use of PayPal is to send payments to authors. I need to take certain actions when payment is sent from my PayPal account to many different recipients.
Using any PayPal API, how do I programmatically retrieve a list of recent payments I have sent? Alternatively, how can I receive a webhook notification when I send a payment through PayPal instead of when I receive one?
The TransactionSearch API would allow you to pull transactions based on different types. It uses the Classic API, though, not REST.
IPN would send notifications when any transaction hits in your account, including payments you send from it via send_money, masspay, or the Pay API.
Since Paypal officially sends people here for support, I hope StackOverflow members will not burn me at the stake.
After the product is sold, I need in the paypal confirmation email
Temporary password sent so user can login to site with their Email and that password.
We will obviously need that email/password via api to authenticate user.
You cannot modify Paypal's confirmation email, given Paypal's API restrictions. However, you can send emails via your application, to your users upon successful payment.
PayPal will send you application a response code for each transaction (payment successful/unsuccessful), which you can use to handle your behavior.
It appears that when in sandbox mode, MassPay doesn't send any email. However for my test environment, where my application is making (sandbox) API calls to send money to an email address, I'd still prefer that the the email address I provide to "pay" receives the fake notification. Is there any way to configure this?
In the sandbox, notifications are not sent to live email accounts. You can check sandbox emails when you login at https://developer.paypal.com >> Dashboard >> Sandbox notifications
On the other hand, you can implement PayPal's IPN and use that to programmatically send out your own custom generated emails. Information on using IPN can be found at [www.paypal.com/ipn]
I have website integrated with Paypal PayFlowPro API. On payment success our application sends an email to user but sometimes due to some code changes or SMTP server issue an email dosen't go to user which in turns create some confusion to user.
I would like to know that is there any way that Paypal can send email to user on payment success or failure?
No, this is not possible with Payflow Pro.
Instead, I would suggest looking into 'some code changes or SMTP server issue'. For example, only mark the payment as completed if an email has gone through, and periodically check all payments that are success from PayPal but haven't been marked as completed on your end.
