I have a website that uses paypal to allow students to purchase a textbook. I am interested in making a QR code that when scanned brings students directly to the paypal app (or the web based address). Is there a tool that would allow me to do that fairly simply
I imagine since the paypal button takes me to a link, I can somehow generate a QR code that takes people to the same link? Or is that the wrong way to do it?
Thank you for your help!
If the paypal link includes all of the necessary information, then you could take that link and use this generator.

So currently im coding a bot and in that bot you can buy several other bots and features and i wanted to ask how that works when someone for example clicks my link for paypal and after he pays he will get redirected to the specific bots invite link. Does that even work?
When using a link/HTML-only PayPal integration (no API), a return is never guaranteed. PayPal may be obligated to show them a receipt, and they may not click to return, or their browser/user agent may crash or window closed. So, this is a bad option.
What you should do instead is create a website with a PayPal Checkout that integrates via an API. If you have a backend you can do a server-side integration, otherwise you'll have to rely on client-side JS. Here's a simple demo of the latter: https://developer.paypal.com/demo/checkout/#/pattern/client
Hi I have searched for this solution and although others have experienced the same problem I couldn't find a solution that works for my site.
My wordpress site mainly sells registrations/bookings for events and I'm using the s2Memberplugin to process the payments with Paypal. The problem is that when we direct the users/customers to the paypal page to complete the transaction which i want set up with the option of paying via credit/debit card if the user/customer doesn’t have (or doesn’t want to create one) a paypal account. That has been working perfectly except for when users/customers are using a variety of internet browser with various cookie settings so the user/customer get’s directed to a completely different page both in appearance and functionality from the page I want them to see. This incorrect page ‘requires’ users/customers to have or create a paypal account to make the payment, no option to pay via card is available. I tried calling paypal and of course they say it is something wrong with my site.
Over 20 days ago i lodged a support ticket with Paypal MTS (or whatever they are called) and of course no response. I have lodged about 5 more tickets and made about 10 more phone calls and they simply don't care about customers. That is clearly demonstrated when you ask to speak to the complaints section and they say "We don't have a complaints section'
Thanks very much, any assistance is greatly appreciated
I haven't been provided with any error codes, unfortunately - i did ask for them but nobody supplied them.
we just discovered that the payflow and IPN settings within my sites plugin were empty but i'm filling them in now but i have two questions:
The vendor, is that just my username for my paypal account? (why don't they just use the same terminology - confusing)
My s2Member plugin say's i'll need my IPN url (and then supplies a url, but whn i look at the IPN notification url within my paypal settings it's a totally different link. Should i be changing my paypal IPN url to that which is supplied by my s2Member plugin or am i getting two different url's confused?
Thanks for your help again mate.
If you're using Payments Standard this experience is cookie based as you mentioned. If you want to make sure the full credit card form shows up and allows people to pay with a credit card without creating an account you can use the Express Checkout API instead.
In your SetExpressCheckout request you just need to set SOLUTION=Sole and LANDINGPAGE=Billing.
I have gone through the Paypal website, looked at their dozens of FAQS and documents, and still don't have a great idea as to how to integrate the Paypal Masspay API. I was hoping I'd have better luck on here :).
I have an app that gives users prizes, with an oracle SQL database that populates whenever a user redeems a prize.
Would I need to download the SDK onto my app, include the PayPal IPN, and call the MassPay API each time a user redeems a prize?
I have attempted to contact Paypal multiple times to no avail.
Not sure which aspect of your question is most problematic for you. I assume that you've looked at the concept diagram at
https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/mass-payments
where the Excel worksheet is roughly analogous to a table's (or query's) worth of payees.
You would normally provide scripting code on your server/website that would submit that payee/amount list through the MassPay API calls against the PayPal website. If you only have one or two payees at a time, this is not the usual way to make a payment to your users (one-offs are generally Adaptive Payments API). It's not a downloadable app, though.
So is your app something the users download and interact with your site? If so, the correct place to put the code that faces PayPal (and actually transfers money around) is on your site's server. Not on the handset.
I finally reached a capable support member of the PayPal Team. The answer I got:
No SDK needed. All I need to do is set up an API call from my server to their server each time I want to reference a payment.
I have a single wordpress plugin in my site, that in general is free. But I have create a backlink at the end of my plugin for my site.
What I like to do, is to allow the plugin users to remove the backlink but with a litle payment like ie. $5,00.
The backlink removal will be done with a serial number I will generate for each customer automaticly after the payment.
My general problem is not how to create the serial, or how to validate the serial number and thinks like that.
What I want is to show me any good resource (ie: Tutorials) to read for PayPal payments. if any :)
Kind Regards
That's pretty easy. First, you need a paypal account. Then, your first choice is the developer site of paypal. Paypal has great documentation for the multitude of APIs they offer. Most of the documentation can be found here. Especially the Paypal-NVP-API is very easy to implement, and for testing purposes you can use their sandbox.
I am using Paypal for the payment in my iPhone application.I gone through the sample code and I noticed that all the codes in objective c were showing express payment i.e. log in and make the payment.
I understood that but I want the same thing to be done by second method i.e. if the user is not having the account with paypal then he should be able to do the payment by providing his smart card information like its shown here(Direct Payment).
http://vikku.info/programming/payment-gateway/paypal-direct-payment-integration-NVP-made-easy.htm.
But I want it to do it in iPhone and not in PHP.
Any suggestions are most welcome :)
Update: As per the link https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_api_ECOnMobileDevices ,its possible to pay using PayPal by giving card information.Has anyone tried it?Please help me regarding this.
Using new library libPayPalEC solved my issue as it provides facility to the user to pay using his card
