Has anyone worked with Intuit UK before. I am trying to work out if they provide the same level of access to banking accounts in the UK as they do in the US.
I have not read anything saying they do but I may be wrong.
If they don't is there any system for UK banks similar to intuit or yodlee?
Yodlee do support user's permission based aggregation and provide read only access of banking accounts in UK.
If you want to contact Yodlee , use this contact form

I am working with the PayPal Node.js SDK and I am trying to payout a user. In order to do that I can use either their email, phone number or encrypted PayPal ID. We would prefer to work with encrypted data as much as possible. Where would we find a users paypal_ID?
If any of our code would help us find this information, we can post it just tell us what you need. Thanks in advance to all.
It should be displayed in the account overview page or in the profile. It typically shows your PayPal account email and merchant account ID.
It can also be obtained via the GetPalDetails API, but that's not REST. I'm not sure if REST has an equivalent API yet or not.
My company is looking to use the vaulting feature with Paypal for storing credit card info. I am not on the development side of things. I just need to know do we just need to have a paypal account to use this vault? Do we need to have a business account or a contract with paypal in order to use this? This is very time sensitive so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, you will need to set up a PayPal account for this functionality.
Those in charge of the financial account to which the PayPal account will be linked (i.e. your company's bank account) will also need to answer questions regarding the bank account's validity correctly in order to unlock full API access for your developer(s):
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/
Your developers will also need to be set up, once the PayPal account has been confirmed and validated, with authorized logins for the account, as well, so they can test and ensure that PayPal transactions are confirmed during the development process.
A word of caution: Though I'm unaware of your business, its practices, etc. it's a hefty sum of responsibility and potential liability to offer the storing of user-sensitive financial information. If you're not prepared to handle the legal ramifications if this data is ever stolen or accessed without authorization, then this is not the development path your company should take.
You would just need a business account to use REST API PayPal.List of countries supported.
The REST API supports many countries for PayPal account payments. All you need is to upgrade to a Business account. For country-specific offerings and limitations, refer to PayPal Offerings Worldwide and visit your country-specific site for further details.
No need of a PRO account.
The company that I work for uses a Paypal Standard API and IPN API in the UK and is moving to the US (so basically it has a US Paypal account), Are there any specific changes between the APIs for these two different regions? or should the code work for both (provided that they change their account information).
Sorry if this is some sort of duplicate question, but the documentations in the Paypal site are just awful.
Thanks in advance.
The coding for PayPal Standard and IPN should be the same between UK and US.
I was using Paypal Sandbox for testing transactions last year using my PayPal developer account.
I just checked last week that I cannot access my old account, so I decided to sign up for a new account. However, you need now to sign up for a business account. Business account is only available to U.S. businesses (I came from outside the US).
I was hoping if you can suggest an alternative and free developer account (similar to PayPal), but with a different payment gateway.
Thank you.
How about stripe ?
Stripe
Uses a JavaScript based API to complete transactions.
Simpler to integrate with multiple platforms.
You don't need a US Business account to use developer.paypal.com.
Simply sign up via https://www.paypal.com/ for a live PayPal account, either Premier or Business, and you'll be able to log in to developer.paypal.com with it.
Note however that the new REST API is currently available for live US Business accounts only, but this won't affect the availability of other Sandbox products or functionality.
I'll look into why the messaging states that you do, because that's not correct. Thanks for pointing this out!
We're using the PayPal _cart system, but need to be able to limit shipping to UK addresses only. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks
After much chasing, I've now had an answer direct from PayPal... apparently, this isn't possible any more.
Here is a link that provides instructions from a PayPal forum moderator:
https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Shipping/I-don-t-want-to-accept-International-orders/td-p/183580
As the recommendations in that link suggest, you can go to "Managing My Risk", and there is a part that allows you to deny payments from a list of countries that you can specify. You can move all countries to the deny side with that option. Be sure to leave your country in the left, "unmonitored" column, so the right column would have all countries except yours.
In your account settings you can limit to purchases from only those with a PayPal account from your same country. Another option would be to put a ridiculous shipping charge on any international orders to discourage anyone from making a purchase outside the country. These may be overkill, but it might not hurt to do them just in case.
