I want to create a set of buttons from a list of PayPal emails (sellers). And when the user clicks on the button he/she will be brought to a PayPal page to pay X amount of money to the seller and Y amount to one other person (me). Each button pays different amounts and different people. Is there a way to do this?
you can use single button to process payment to different people with different amount with
Paypal Payment Standard
here is the documentation for implementing

I have e-book selling website where I used a paypal button to accept the payment. The button is created from paypal website and its code snippet is added in the form to show the button(not via api). When I set the currency of the button to USD then indian paypal users are not able to use the button. It says "Merchant Does bot accept payment in your currency". If I change it to INR then it only accepts the indian customers only.
Is there any way to accept all currencies via a common button. I means Indians could pay me in INR and Others in USD.
Thanks in advance.
No, separate currencies are needed due to Indian regulations, and there is no support for combining multiple currencies (and their respective amounts) within a single button, other than coding it yourself.
If you generate buttons at PayPal, you need one button for domestic payments in INR, and another button for international payments in a currency such as USD.
It's possible to make something like a dropdown or radio buttons that switch a single PayPal button between the configurations for amount1/USD and amount2/INR -- i.e., give the buyer a way to select their country and change the amount/currency based on that -- but to do that you will need to write some custom JavaScript code to make the switch.
I am using website payments standard and I have the following requirement. Please let me know if a solution is available for website payments standard.
I already have subscriptions integrated to my website. I would like to have a feature that enables the user to donate a dynamic amount along with the subscription. For that, I plan to add an additional text field for the amount in my payment page. I would like to know if it is possible to manage both donations and subscriptions in the same request.
Let me be more clear about the requirement.
When the user clicks a custom subscribe button, a page with a text field to enter a donation amount will be displayed. Suppose, the user enters a random amount. The user will then click the PayPal subscribe button and will be taken to the PayPal site for the payment. Both the subscription and donation have to be managed separately so that I can easily identify which one is subscription fee and which one is donated amount by looking into the PayPal statements.
Please let me know if this is possible with website payments standard. If not, can you please help me how to achieve this?
My additional requirements are:
I need to combine Add to cart button and Donations too.
I would like to manage subscriptions just like Add to cart feature. i.e., Paying for multiple subscriptions at once.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Is not possible to make both "Donations" and "subscriptions" in a single payment. Unless you treat the donation as an additional amount for your subscriptions initial payment.
I'm having a few issues here, I'm using Angelleye:
1.) Currently, when a user clicks to ‘Pay’ on my website, a popup appears and they must then enter their PayPal email address. We take a commission on all items sold on our marketplace, so we need to use Adaptive payments.
2.) In addition, the auction listings that a user creates on our marketplace can be in either $ (USD) or £ (GBP), but it seems that if the user creates a listing that isn’t in their main PayPal currency, they can’t receive payment.
Is the PayPal email popup necessary and can we allow users to receive payments in currencies other than their main PayPal currency?
Thanks!
1) There are different options for how to handle the payment flow with adaptive payments. You can use a pop-up window or a lightbox, for example. All of the details for how to setup the flow you want are available here: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/adaptive-payments/integration-guide/APIntro/
2) I'm pretty sure this depends on their payment receiving preferences. When receiving a payment that isn't their primary currency they could end up paying additional fees, so I'm pretty sure they would have to specify that they accept this within their account. Alternatively, merchants can create separate currency balances within a PayPal account, so you could actually maintain a USD balance and a separate GBP balance within the same account. This way you could receive money without getting hit with currency conversion or cross-border fees, and the merchant wouldn't have to specifically accept it.
I am in the process of implementing a solution where the user would buy a product using one of two options, either using Credit card or using PayPal. Now basically I would want that the if the user does not have any credits left in his account I charge their PayPal account with a certain amount of money. I am going to use Adaptive Payments for this and I will be using .NET.
Now I have some questions. Does anyone know whether this can be done?
And something else. If I am going to use Adaptive payments.. are adaptive payments more expensive from PayPal side?
Thanks
So just to make sure I follow, their account will have 'credits' to purchase things. They will select items, and check out paying with credits. If the item costs 10 credits and they only have 8, you will charge them the appropriate amount for 2 credits?
This doesnt need to be adaptive payments. All you need to do is edit your checkout flow to account for multiple payment methods (credits and cc or credits and paypal).
So the flow would be like:
Cust adds item to cart -> Cust checks out -> Cart determines if any money is due -> Cart presents new adjusted total (minus credits) to the merchant -> Cust selects payment method and pays.
I'm new to online payments and would like some opinions on my task. Here is the scenario:
I have a website where people buy and sell digital photos. A seller has a photo and wants to sell it. They create an ad on the site and upload the photo into the website database. Buyers looking for photos come to the site and buy them. The buyer pays the asking amount and then can download the photo. As the middleman, I'd like to charge the seller a fee or percentage of the selling price. The buyer shouldn't pay any website fees, just the selling price.
My question is - what is the best way to do this? I dont mean programmatically, but what service should I be looking at? As far as I know PayPal wont work because of their fee structure. Im told Amazon payments would work but its sort of a hack. The seller has to set up a business account and then tie their item to my website as a third party sales venue. Is there an easire way to accomplish what Im trying to do? Of course keeping fees as low was possible.
This will work perfectly fine with PayPal.
PayPal offers Adaptive Payments as of a while ago, which allows you to specify 'primary' and 'secondary' receivers (up to 10 recievers per 1 transaction I believe, from the top of my head).
You could thus use Adaptive Payments to set the photographer as the primary receiver, set yourself as the secondary receiver and optionally move the transaction fees onto the photographer as well.
Have a look at this page for more information.
