I'm wondering if it's possible to look up a PayPal Recurring Payments Profile ID using the email address used to create the profile.
I'm aware of the GetRecurringPaymentsProfileDetails API call, but this call requires the Profile ID as a parameter. I need to look up the Profile ID with only the email address.
Looks like you can use TransactionSearch API to search for the required information using buyer's email address. You will get the associated ProfileIDs/Transaction ids for the buyer.
The response variable is L_TRANSACTIONIDn

Our company has clients who have PayPal accounts. We also have their PayPal emails.
The issue is how to get client's business_name and country by providing its PayPal email?
Is it possible to make it using PayPal API?
Thanks in advance!
When a user makes a payment (Set up standard payments), you'll receive their shipping address country code as part of the v2/checkout/orders capture response.
If you need to the country of a PayPal account separately from such a payment capture's shipping address, then you might need to implement Log in with PayPal requesting the scope address, and have the user log in.
However, the capture response might also have a "payer" object with the billing account country (which can be different from the shipping country in some cases).
i am integrating Paypal with our platform for multiple merchants. Here a Merchant just need to enter his Paypal email Id, and here i just need to validate his First Name and Last Name to be matched with Paypal account and the entered names in our platform.
And then i should be able to send invoices On behalf of Merchant from our platform to their customers.
I am looking for below.
1) How do i validate Merchant email id with paypal
2) After validating how do i be able to send Invoices on behalf of
Merchants.
FYI, I just find similar setup functionality here. i would need something like this.
You can validate the merchant PayPal account using GetVerifiedStatus API:
requestEnvelope.errorLanguage = en_US&emailAddress = teatemail#test.com&&firstName = Firstname&lastName = Lastname&matchCriteria = NAME
After validation, you can get the API call permissions after that you can run the invoicing API for sending invoices.
After a long time analyzing, i was able to find that to have above functionality , i have to use AdaptivePayment method of Paypal for generating invoice from our side and sending a link for payment and invoice page to customer in mail.
But before doing this i have to validate email id of merchant using GetVerifiedStatus API as mentioned by PP_Punna.
So the following steps are needed to :
1) Validate merchant email Id with first name and last name using GetVerifiedStatus API.
2) Generate a PayKey using AdaptivePayment method (PAY) by mentioning the receiver email id as Merchant email id which was validated in first step and create url like
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ap-payment&paykey=[PayKey]. and put it under paypal button.
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 read the email of the buyer that has completed a transaction on my eCommerce site. Paypal does send me an email of notification, but does not contain the email of the buyer (Instead, it returns just the transaction-id - which takes me to my account.)
I was looking through the PayPal for Developer API, but I can't find an example to get this level of detail. Is this even possible to retrieve, and if so, how?
Paypal ipn returns the address. When you post to PayPal, they request an address by default. (Source)
no_shipping =2 is the prompt for requiring an address.
Is it possible to get the country using their email? Or validate user's country.
In our system, the user submits their email and country. We need to check whether the country is correctly specified.
Sorry for my English.
Thanks.
you have to force users to login paypal (you don't want to allow transactions by who doesn't have a paypal account)
See SetExpressCheckout SOLUTIONTYPE = Mark
after the user completes the expresscheckout, in order to confirm it, you should check if its street address is confirmed and if it is of the country you require:
GetExpressCheckoutDetails
PAYERSTATUS must be "verified"
COUNTRYCODE must be the country you require
if these two values are ok, you can confirm the payment with "DoExpressCheckoutPayment"
since you are new, if you like my answer don't forget to set it as "accepted"
An alternative solution to verify customer's PP account country with out initiaing a transaction, is to implement "Login with PayPal" with your own customer login/register managenment.
It's based on the PayPal REST identity APIs, and will be much easier for you to get & manage customer account info (with user consent).
