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.

I'm creating a rewards app that connect with a PayPal accounts. In this app, I send money from admin site to client (which are send withdrawal request to admin). Parameters only receiver email and amount. How to integrate this with the Laravel API?
This isn't a Laravel question, but the account owner can start by applying for PayPal Payouts, which may or may not be granted for this business use case.
We are developing a marketplace webapp which charges customers on behalf of sellers.
After reading through PayPal's API documentation, the only solution seems to be the Permissions service.
According to the documentation. After retrieving the access token and token secrete of a seller through the RequestPermissions call, we generated X-PAYPAL-AUTHORIZATION header to initiate an express checkout payment id. However, the payment id generated is associated with our PayPal account instead of the seller's, which is not the anticipated behavior.
Adding seller's email address in the SUBJECT field as noted in PayPal Name-Value Pair API Basics does work, but as we tested it, it has nothing to do with the access token and token secrete.
The problem with the SUBJECT field is that we cannot make sure the seller's email address with us is the one PayPal have on file.
The GetBasicPersonalData permission seems to be able to get a valid email address, but that needs to be pre-approved by PayPal. In fact, I have come across many websites that does not require this permission but able to initiate payment on behalf of other users. Is there a way to just get sellers' email or PayPal Id without GetBasicPersonalData permission? We don't actually need any other personal data except email or PayPal Id.
I need to transfer money from user to user using PayPal, from within my site.
The scenario is:
The user can sigup with paypal in my site. The signuped user can able to transfer the money to another paypal user within my site without redirect to paypal login.
Currently i done with user sigup with paypal. its worked fine but when user trying to send amount to another paypal user its redirecting to paypal site to send it.
I have gone through the paypal api Implicit Payment. But its working when the app email and sender email was same means transaction is done without redirect to paypal. but if the sender email was different means its redirecting to paypal to relogin and get confirmation to send amount .
User who signup with paypal. Should not be redirect to paypal again for tranfer money. how we can do this. is it possible ? please suggest me

my ipn works perfectly its setup under our business PayPal account. our asp.net website is being used by multiple customers with their own members, unique by their login. as of now the cart writes to our database with the orders and sets a status code that gets changed to 'completed' via the ipn call/authentication from PayPal using our PayPal email. now, a couple want to use their own PayPal accounts, non-for profits, so in order for this to work as previously described what changes in the post variables?
ex of what i need: a member of our customer logs in to our website, adds items to their cart and chooses PayPal payment option. it writes to our database as an 'in-process' order. it opens our customer PayPal account to complete the payments then once complete it calls our ipn setup under our PayPal account and redirects back to the custom page.
again, everything is already working great just want to call their own PayPal account instead of ours w/o needing to have them setup the ipn settings under their account, but use the ipn setup under our PayPal account. members see their own customer PayPal account billing theme and the money is in their account not ours. is this possible?
do we send the ipn location url and our customer PayPal account info in the post variables?
thanks for any help
As far as processing the payment on their PayPal account, you can go about this 2 different ways. You can either use their API credentials and pass those over in the API call and the payment will be processed on their account. Second option would be to have them grant 3rd party API permissions to your API to be able to process transactions on their account. Then you would just pass over your API credentials in your API call and also pass over their email address of their PayPal account in the variable "SUBJECT". This will then process the payment on their account.
As for still haveing the IPN POST sent to your script, you will just need to pass over the IPN URL in the API call. When pass it over in the API call, it will override whatever is set in the account. For example, if you are using NVP the variable would be "NOTIFYURL".
I'm introducing PayPal Digital Goods for Express Checkout on a web site. For an user who is logged in, a valid checkout results in an update in the user's profile on the website, which in order allows to access more content.
The owner wants to add support for clients which aren't yet logged in to the web site. We handled this by introducing a landing page with an unique URL, which the user is redirected to after payment and which can be used to create a new account or mark an existing account as paid. If the user doesn't want to do this immediately, the URL of the landing page is persistent and bookmarkable.
However, in case the client doesn't want to log-in immediately and fails to bookmark their unique link, we'd want to additionally send a confirmation e-mail which would contain the link.
Paypal sends a receipt e-mail to the buyer right after purchase. Can I somehow insert additional message for the client in that e-mail?
If not, is there any other PayPal API feature which would let me send a message to the client's e-mail registered with PayPal?
Unfortunately you won't be able add or modify the content in the email message sent by Paypal. They lock down those type of things for security purposes.
However, you can send your own confirmation email once you receive notification that the payment has been completed. Whether you are using PHP or another server side language, you should be able to collect the email address from the variables returned by PayPal and send a custom email using the mail function. Since you create a custom landing page for the user, you can simply send it from here.
