I have integrated Braintree into my API and have it currently accepting payments under the sandbox mode. I have noticed that the Drop In UI for braintree does not include an area to put customer billing information. Is a customers name and other personal information similar to that required to make a credit card charge through braintree subscriptions?
Thank you.
Billing address information is not required to charge a credit card for a normal transaction or a subscription unless you have turned on the address verification system.

As per the subject. Does my customer MUST to have paypal account and login to his paypal account in order for me to create a billing agreement, or I can use credit card as payment method for a billing agreement?
I am working with REST Api
Thanks
It is possible.
An example of the API is here: https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-NET-SDK/blob/develop/Samples/Source/BillingAgreementWithCreditCard.aspx.cs
Subscriptions (recurring payments) option for direct payments needs to be also enabled in merchant paypal account. I had trouble with it but messaged paypal and they enabled the feature for us.
So tested and working now.
customer make payment (with real/valid credit card) on test website that is linked with paypal sandbox account. paypal notfied them that $200 is deducted from their account with proper transaction id.
I can see that transaction id in sandbox business account but question is if real money is deducted from their accounts?
Same question if they use paypal to pay us instead of credit card while site was operating under test mode and linked with paypal sandbox business account.
The short answer is no. It is a self contained area for you to test all your paypal applications
From the paypal documentation
"The PayPal Sandbox is a self-contained, virtual testing environment that mimics the live PayPal production environment. It provides a shielded space where you can initiate and watch your application process the requests you make to the PayPal APIs without touching any live PayPal accounts."
Here is a link to some test credit card accounts paypal recommend you use with development of your paypal application

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.
Is it possible to add a customer's credit card information to their Paypal Wallet? I've looked into the REST API, but the information is stored in a vault specific to a merchant. I want to save the card information to the customer's wallet for future use. Does Paypal have a wallet api?
As a general rule, no. The buyer has to log in to their PayPal account to add the card.
(There is the AddPaymentCard API, but this is typically reserved for banks that are setting up PayPal accounts for their users and are adding a credit card/debit card, that they issued, to the new 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.
