Hello everyone in my application i'm using pay-pal API with selecting mode as chain payment. My question is shall i use credit card for pay-pal chain payment?
thanks in advance
There is a "guest checkout" option enabled in the checkout flow for Adaptive Payments, so people can use a credit card without an account. There isn't any way to collect the card data yourself, though, and process it as a chained payment directly with an API.
Technically, you could get it done with Payments Pro to process the credit card, and then setup an automated solution of some sort (with IPN or CRON job on server, for example) to forward funds to 3rd party PayPal accounts.

Is it possible to send money or issue a non-referenced refund from the regular PayPal APIs?
I don't think we're enabled for MassPay, and our pre-existing system doesn't work with Adaptive Payments.
You could use the Pay API (which is part of Adaptive Payments and would require an App ID).
You could also use the DoNonReferencedCredit API if you're pushing funds back to a credit card that doesn't have an original transaction associated with it.
With paypal is possible to store the credit card of the customer (that has put during the registratin process) and take an automatic payment (so not initiated by the user himself)?
Which paypal payment solution should i use?
This is a very broad question, so I will give you a very broad answer. There are a number of different ways to do that depending on your goal.
The following APIs would give you what you're asking for in various ways.
Express Checkout / Payments Pro Recurring Payments
Express Checkout / Payments Pro Reference Transactions
Adaptive Payments, specifically Preapproval and Pay.
I have a website that allows people to come and create events. I like to allow these people to charge for the events (where I take a cut). However, most of the people coming to the events may not have PayPal accounts, and so I want the default to show in the checkout is by credit card. (Using Adaptive Payments to use the chain payments for simplicity). Does anyone know how to show the Guest Payments by default? Thanks.
Unfortunately, you can't force the guest checkout option in Adaptive Payments the way you can with Express Checkout. The problem there is EC only supports parallel payments, not chained, so the buyer would see the split during checkout.
You can accomplish what you want using billing agreements. You have a billing agreement setup with you and the vendor, and after the initial transaction is completed you can take your fee from the vendor.

My application already receive payments using Stripe API. Once payment is received, I must pay affiliates related to the transaction. This could be 1 to many recipients.
I want to use PayPal, I want to wire an API into my application so that I may pay all pending payments by clicking a "release funds" button...clicking the release funds button would pay related recipients to their email address from a paypal account that I will keep flush with funds.
Which PayPal API will achieve this? (paying many recipients from one paypal account)
I've done a lot of research on this and alternatives. Before I spend valuable dev time on this, I need to know I'm heading down the right path so any advice would be most helpful.
thanks
The MassPay API will do it, but you'll need to get MassPay enabled on your PayPal account in order to use it. It's free, but it's just not enabled by default.
You could also look into Adaptive Payments, specifically the Pay API. In that case you would build a script that loops through all your recipients and sends payments one at a time.
Hello,
When calling Adaptive payments PAT API call i Would like to supply a credit card (or vaulted credit card) in an adaptive payment without redirecting the guest account to paypal - since our user has already supplied to us his credit card prior
I have been looking into the documentation and this doesn't seem supported - why? and is this planned to be changed anytime soon because this might make us reconsider PAYPAL as a provider (in payments pay API call you are allowed to supply CC)
Thanks
Adaptive Payments APIs only support payments with PayPal Accounts. they do not support direct credit card payments. Also, Vault is only compatible with the new REST APIs - with saved credit cards in Vault, you can only use the new REST payment API to process the payment. here is the how to guide for that: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/integration/direct/store-a-credit-card/
The REST API only supports transactions from a stored credit card in Vault to a business PayPal account,
What we need is P2P, we need a way to perform transaction between a sender (a stored credit card in a Vault) to receivers (other PayPal accounts),
Just like what the Adaptive Payments API,
Is there a way to achieve that? if not are there any workarounds?
Thanks.
