I would like to know if it was possible to sell products across multiple websites with a single paypal account?
I do not see any options on my management interface.
thank you
Yes, you can. PayPal makes it easy for sellers who use different brand names to manage multiple lines of business.
Therefore, you can setup your PayPal buttons or PayPal API to your individual websites.
For eg:
If you want to link your websites to your Single PayPal account for a Website Payment Standard button, then you just go ahead and create your button from PayPal(button factory)
and then use the generated button code in either of your websites.
Also, it's easy to receive payment notifications and manage orders by using a different email address for the two lines of business. More info here

We are a team of completely junior developers and we'd like to know if there's a way to split incoming payments -equally- into different accounts, wether it's through Paypal or other platform.
For example, we would send a link button to the client to make the payment, let's say $100, and we would like to be automatically split into 2 accounts (50%-50%) or 3 accounts (33%-33%-33%).
Is there a way to do that?
Should we create a special type of account to be able to access that functionality? (for example I have my personal -non business- account on Paypal, should we create a business account in order to be able to have that split payment option and, from there, split it into my personal account and my partner's?)
Should we use another platform instead of Paypal?
Should we integrate the code into a website with the Paypal payment method? or can it just be a link that we send to the client, let's say, via email?
Are there easier ways to solve this (for example with crypto -binance or sth like that-)?
We are completely lost on this topic since we're just starting, so any advice would do.
Thanks in advance!!
For PayPal, after receiving the payment into a single account you control, you could (as separate transactions) send some of that amount to other account(s) using Payouts, which you can request access to. Approval may or may not be granted for your use case.
Without Payouts, a manual sending from that single account to others can be done in the www.paypal.com account interface, using the Send Money feature.
I have browsed this forum and been through the PayPal documentation but I am confused. I know what I need but cannot work-out how to specify it for my coder.
We have a .Net application that runs on our internal network. We use this application to create customer quotations. These quotations are emailed to our customers. I simply want the application to be create a link that I can send to the customer such then when it is opened it takes them straight into Paypal and allows then to make a payment for the quotation. Or maybe the link is embedded into the body of the quotation that I send. Either would be fine.
I know of programs that do this (Sage Line50 does it with Sagepay rather than PayPal) but I cannot get my head around the process. Most of my research is talking about taking payments from an external website but trawling through the PayPal documentation it looks like it should be possible. But I cannot figure out whether I need Smart Buttons or PayPal Me. The key thing is that I don't want to force customers to have a PayPal account so guest access must be an option.
Smart Payment Buttons would be ideal, and offer the best payment experience to your customers. However, they require your own server on which to host some HTML/JS for them. They do not offer a link that can take the customer directly from an email to a PayPal checkout.
I recommend using Smart Payment Buttons, if you are able to host one. The flow is:
Email -> page on your server with Smart Button -> PayPal payment.
The key thing is that I dont want to force customers to have a PayPal account so guest access must be an option.
PayPal.me does not meet that requirement
If your requirement is truly a link that proceeds directly:
Email -> PayPal.com checkout for payment (no webserver of yours) ... well, there two solutions for this.
One is to use PayPal invoicing, which can be emailed directly by PayPal, or can be a link which you share yourself (via your own email). A PayPal invoice can be created manually via: https://www.paypal.com/invoice/create . Or programmatically via the invoicing API (see developer.paypal.com)
The second way, which may work fine but is a very old web 1.0 way of doing things, is to start by going to http://www.paypal.com/buttons and create a Buy Now button for an item named "Placeholder", amount "777.88". Expand the section "Step 2", and uncheck the option to Save the button at PayPal. Do not change any of the customization options, particularly ones that add menus or input fields.
Once you have generated the code, click the option above it to remove code protection, and then switch to the E-mail tab.
This will give you a plain HTML link with a description and amount that can be set dynamically by your developer when sending your own email. Additional useful variables, such as invoice (for an invoice number that is unique for what is being paid for, and can't be accidentally paid twice) are documented here.
Again, Smart Payment Buttons should be preferred if you have a web server to act as an intermediary. Here is a skeleton demo of the experience.
I am building an application that has two types of users: owners and buyers.
When a user signs up for a payment subscription to the services offered on the website, the system checks to which owner those selected services belong to and should then make that subscription payment go to that owner. So basically, users have no idea that payments go to multiple people. As far as they are concerned, they are just selecting certain services on our website and signing up for a monthly recurring subscription payment. The system then decides where that subscription money should go.
So, how can I do this? What possible systems can I use? I have looked into two: PayPal and Stripe. I can see how I might be able to use them for this if I get really creative, however I just wanted to ask you guys to see if any one has experience in doing something like this and what is a good way to do this.
Thank you.
Here're description about PayPal Adaptive Payment, you need setup preapproval and Chained Payment .
In this scenario, you act as Primary Receiver. You can setup the payment that Primary Receiver keep certain percentage amount ($10 in in 2nd picture), or distribute all payment to multiple receivers (service providers). It's up to your business logic.
I plan to create a page on my website that lets others upload games and apps they've built, then sell them via PayPal. Please forgive me if this is a simple question, I've never used PayPal for anything other than purchasing things. I need the button to dynamically change who it's sending the money to. I understand that in order to split who the money is going to, I would need to set up a business account, but if I wanted the creator to keep all of the money they charge for their virtual goods, would it be as simple as changing one of the tags within the PayPal form?
I'm experienced in PHP, SQL and Javascript, so dynamically changing any of the forms elements wouldn't be an issue, but would the payment actually finalize?
Yes, if you're working with Payments Standard it would just be a matter of updating the business parameter with the email address or PayPal merchant ID of the person you want the money to go to.
This isn't the best way to do it, though, because people can see the HTML, copy it, adjust it, and submit payments that are for less than what you set the price at.
In order to protect that sort of stuff you could generate your button code using the Button Manager API, or better yet, go with Express Checkout and the Permissions API (or manually granting permissions) so you can make API calls on behalf of 3rd party users.
My PHP class library for PayPal would make this pretty simple for you.
I have a Digital Service Providing website. This service allows user's customers to take appointments for the services user is providing. Now the customers must be able to Pay for the service before confirming the appointment.
My requirement is each user of my website have different services and different price for it.
They have already configured these services on my web application. I have all details in the database.Now how can i integrate Pay Now buttons for this scenario? I do not want the user to configure the service price again on Paypal account?
There are a number of ways you can handle that. Do you have a shopping cart system setup on the site so people can browse and add service items and checkout all at once, or how exactly is that setup?
If you're tracking items and order price within a shopping cart you can use Payments Standard Cart Upload Method to easily gather order details and send the user over to PayPal for payment.
You could also use the Express Checkout API if you prefer web services. If you want to offer credit cards directly (without any PayPal redirect) you could include Payments Pro as well.
If you want to stick with standard buttons, but you want to automate the process, you can use the Button Manager API.
