How can I make a paypal payment to a site user in D7?
Currently I use commerce and commerce_paypal with express checkout. Is there a way to do these payments without installing any other modules?
I have already created a 'paypal account' field on user profile as I definitely need a paypal account to send payments to I'm looking for the rest of the solution.
You can use MassPayment API or Implicit send money from Adaptive Payments.
Masspay API helps to send money from your PayPal account to multiple receivers.
Implicit Payments is that, in which your application is both the sender of a payment and the caller of the Adaptive Payments API. You would need to create a application at apps.paypal.com to acquire this feature.

I have a web app on which users can sign up and sell their products.
I want to integrate paypal such that the sellers in my Web app would receive money in their paypal account when buyers choose the option to pay with paypal button.
I want the integration flow to be like what calendly has.
I want the sellers to integrate paypal using OAUTH 2.0.
How can I implement this ?
Do a normal PayPal Checkout integration, and in the request's purchase_units specify a payee object with details on what account is to receive the payment.
This is documented in Send funds to another account.
Iam looking to transfer money from one user to another user using paypal ExpressCheckout.
Is it possible to send money to user to user with ExpressCheckout.
its not a marketplace we don't have seller or buyer or merchant.
Am making social networking so that friends can transfer money within my site using paypal.
You can use Parallel Payments in Express Checkout without having an adaptive payment application registered. But if you required some chained mechanism, you may need to use Chained Payment in Adaptive payment.
i am creating a small marketplace where sellers can sell their products and receive payments to their PayPal account directly from the buyer.
i've previously been using "website payments standard" but am looking to switch to the express checkout API to generate a one-time payment token each time someone purchases something and which then allows buyer#email.com to send a payment directly to seller#email.com without the involvement of my PayPal account.
is that possible?
i've only found one option in the documentation at https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/merchant/SetExpressCheckout_API_Operation_NVP/ called "PAYMENTREQUEST_n_SELLERPAYPALACCOUNTID", but is that the correct way to send the entire payment from the buyer to the seller without any amount going to me?
also, do i NEED to have my own "USER" and "PWD" to generate an API token each time if I am receiving no payment mysefl?
Think you are looking for Adaptive payments.
Adaptive payments handles payments between a sender of a payment and one or more receivers of the payment. You are an application owner, such as a merchant that owns a website, the owner of a widget on a social networking site, the provider of a payment application on mobile phones, and so on. Your application is the caller of Adaptive Payments API operations.
So, in general if you want to act as API caller and to felicitate the money transfer between buyer and seller, Adaptive payment is the way to go.
Steps to go live with Adaptive Payments
I need to send money from company's Paypal account to another Paypal account.
Is it possible to do with Paypal's REST API (if so, how)?
Or must I use the adaptive payments API (that doesn't have an official Paypal SDK)?
Send money from your account has not been added to their REST APIs yet. You can see the operations that they have available here. To automate the send money, you can choose from either their Adaptive Payments Implicit Send Money (here are links to the SDK, Integration Guide and the API references) or the MassPay APIs (again, links to the Merchant SDK, Integration Guide and the API reference).
You would need to create an APP to run the Adaptive Payments send money here or contact PayPal's customer support to get Mass Payments turned on in your account
we have set up Paypal as a hook into an e-commerce application, where users just enter their paypal account, and we link their clients through to their Paypal account when buying products.
This works great, and paypal asks you to login to pay for your purchases.
But we don't want clients to be forced to create a paypal account, just to make a purchase.
Does website payments standard API actually support paying without a paypal account?
At the moment this is a real showstopper for us.
Check out PayPal Adaptive Accounts. You can create PP accounts for your users. The only step they'll have to complete at PayPal is creating a password. Once the account is created you might need send the user back through a checkout flow.
Adaptive Accounts
Use the Adaptive Accounts API to build applications that create and manage PayPal accounts. Merchants and developers can use the API to create PayPal accounts, add payment methods to accounts, and verify a PayPal account status.
Paypal is a very useful payment service gateway, exactly because the customer does not need to enter a credit-card number.
What we do, is offer Paypal as an option. We allow credit-card entry as well. In order to evaluate the credit-card for validity etc., we interface with the bank that supports our account and let their system do the checks. Another option would be "Cash on Delivery".
