Need a simple tutorial for Paypal Recurring payment using the latest REST API. On Dev site of paypal there is no such explanation for that.
"Recurring Payments" are referred to as "Billing Plans" in the documentation for REST API. https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/direct/create-billing-plan/

How to create a subscription payment (with or without payment right now in addition to subscription) with PayPal Checkout Server Integration and Payments API?
It seems that the "transaction" object type in Payments API has nothing about recurring payments.
I am writing an open source engine to receive payments on the Internet. Please help.
It can be done with the API documented here:
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments.billing-plans/v1/
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments.billing-agreements/v1/
Using Paypal Classic API Billing agreement can be created. Agreement Id can be used for future payment using Paypal reference transaction.
Can this same functionality achieved using Paypal REST API? If yes please help me providing reference. I'm aware Billing Plan and Billing agreement can be created using Paypal REST API but without Billing Plan billing agreement can't be created.
Regards,
"Billing agreement" in RESTful APIs is specificly for Recurring Payments, and that might have misled you.
The terms are slightly different between Classic APIs and the RESTful APIs, and Reference Transactions is pretty equivalent to what is called "future payments" in RESTful APIs.
Technical specs are listed HERE, pls be noted that as of now, future payment has to work with mobile integration on top of PayPal MSDK (to obtain user consent and auth code)
Now this feature is available in REST APIs also. But please note this is a vetted product from PayPal. Not every merchant will be approved to use the Pre-Approved payments . Docs are available - But as a limited release
Docs for PayPal Reference transaction API. Also called as pre-approved payments
I'm using the PayPal REST API to direct payers from our site to the PayPal site to make payment. It opens with the "Pay with my PayPal account" as the default option, can this be changed to default to "Pay with a debit or credit card"?
I've seen a couple of responses that have suggested using "LANDINGPAGE" but this seems to be only applicable with the Classic API not the REST API.
Is there a REST API equivalent?
Thanks.
Now the PayPal offers the similar functionality in the REST API also . You can check the below link for more information :

I'm looking at the new PayPal REST API and the examples. Does it work as of today to make recurring payments? (a.k.a: subscriptions with recurring payments with billing cycle and the number of times the recurring payment is made.)
I cannot find this information in the documentation.
Thanks,
PayPal REST API now officially support Recurring Payments (Billing Plans and Agreements)
The PayPal REST API doesn't currently offer recurring payments, although the Classic APIs do offer this feature:
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/use-cases/
There are two options here for the REST API.
First you can store a credit card in the vault to make recurring payments against that card.
The second option is not yet released, but will involve a long term OAuth token, see this answer.
Try the Paypal REST API-> https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/direct/create-billing-plan/
After setting your account, you´ll get a secret key and client id, which you´ll use later on to make the call to the api.
Remeber to set the grant_type on the apiContext so you don´t get a 403.

Billing Plan and Agreement APIs are also deprecated, we can use Subscription API instead,

I have a basic account with shopify and shopify is allowing me to choose from following paypal solutions
PayPal Website Payments Pro (UK)
PayPal Website Payments Pro (CA)
PayPal Payments Pro (US)
PayPal Payflow Link
PayPal Express Checkout
Is there a particular reason why shopify does not support "paypal website payment standard" ?
I am building an e-commerce solution for a client and am suggesting client to use "paypal website payment standard". Is this a not a favored solution for any reason?
The integration options for PayPal standard aren't as robust as the other PayPal integrations so Shopify does not support it. Any of the options that standard provided should be covered by the other paypal products; you should be able to get the same functionality.
Is there something in particular from PayPal standard that the client needs that the other services don't provide?
It is not about the functionality. It's about the monthly costs that is tied to other paypal plans. Paypal standard does not require any monthly fees. That's the difference and that is why we hope to actually use it on the website.
