I am integrating a basic HTML form with the most basic level of PayPal - Website Payments Standard. It might be a silly question but how do you tell PayPal which account to pay? Is it through this line:-
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="youremailaddress#yourdomain.com" />
Yes it is. it would be better to use the unique account ID but the account email address will work. Email addresses must be confirmed.

I have searched using a lot of key words, but I have not found a solution.

I'm trying to integrate PayPal on my site and I have problems with receiving information from PayPal about transaction.
I'm using sandbox environment for tests.
I generated the form and placed return url into there:
<input type='hidden' name='return' value='my-local-site/success.php'>
After all payments are done (and they are done correct - I'm getting money to my account) I'm returned to my-local-site/success.php without any parameters about this transaction.
I tried to make it like here - http://www.dollarfry.com/paypal-integration-guide-php/ but it does not work for me.
My question is why I don't receive any information about transaction from PayPal as payments were done correctly via sandbox (money were sent from one account to another correctly).
I want to get some info like
http://my.local.site/success.php?tx=6BC88318RN685282M&st=Completed&amt=20.00&cc=USD&cm=&item_number=BEAR05
What should I do to get that info? Is something wrong I do, or with my account?
Thank you!
Try adding an extra parameter.
<input type="hidden" name="rm" value="0" />
Check PayPal's HTML variables documentation for more details. Search for "return method" on that page and you should find it easily.
I've got a scenario where I need to collect address details from Paypal when a user donates to a site. From what I can tell in the Paypal Sandbox those details aren't returned via IPN or PDT when the transaction is related to a donation.
Is there something I'm missing like an account setting or paypal variable that can make this possible?
At the moment I'm using a Buy Now option as below which does return address details:
input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick"
Simply changing the cmd to donation and the address info stops coming in via IPN:
input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations"
I don't believe the address is given on donations. Your best bet is to call it a donation in the title & then send it still as an xclick. Change the displayed button image to a donation button, but use an xclick instead of _donation. I believe that's the only possible way.
My client created a hosted Subscription button and gave me following code to apply in our website:
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="X9Z9BHN867R2E">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_subscribeCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>
On Paypal's Checkout screen there are 2 options:
1) Already have PayPal account (2) Create PayPal account.
If I choose first option and enter a wrong username/password. Then I see a link: "Pay using your credit or debit card". When user clicks on this link, it just throws an error: "The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again."
What is the possible cause of this issue? Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug at PayPal end.
this sounds like enhanced recurring payments. Your client must verify the Paypal account using email and this should solve your problem.

This is clearly an error on PayPal's side. If you click on the hosted subscription button using a browser with no PayPal cookies, you will see a screen that says "You need a PayPal account for this purchase." and then two radio buttons:
I already have a PayPal account. (and then fields for entering your Email and Password)
I need to create a PayPal account (where available).
HOWEVER, if you click on a hosted subscription button using a browser with PayPal cookies (in other words, used by someone that has a PayPal account -- not necessarily your user, but anyone that has used that browser to logon to PayPal in the past), then the screen does NOT say you need a PayPal account for this purchase, instead it says:
Check out using PayPal (followed by fields for entering your Email and Password).
And below that (and it's a little hard to see at first), it says: "No PayPal account? Pay using your credit or debit card"
If you click on that, you will get the following error:
The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again.
PayPal requires a PayPal account for subscription payments, but for reasons only PayPal knows, they have chosen to have a link on the form that suggests otherwise and only confuses poor users when they click on it (who were trying to give you money, I might add) and then vaguely they are told there was an error.
Perhaps the only current work around -- until someone brings it to PayPal's attention -- would be to warn your users on your checkout page that a PayPal account is required for subscription payments.
I used Paypal sandbox to test my code and my IPN is working.
Now, I need to go to my original Paypal account. My confusion is in sandbox, we make buyers' and sellers' accounts. And we get tit_789456613_biz#yahoo.com like seller account.
Is it needed in original account? If needed, how to make it?
If not needed, which email address should I use? Client's email or client's Paypal contact?
When you switch over from sandbox to real service you use your own real PayPal account as seller/business.
Example:
<input name="business" value="you#domain.com" type="hidden">
And you change the form action from https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr to https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
