just a general question Without getting into much details, does PayPal SDK have the functionality to access payments data from .net (C# desktop application).
i need to retreive customer details, date, reference and amount to be then able to post into another program ?
I have been doing some research on PayPal developer site, but couldnt find anything in relation to my query,
Thanks in advance
Yes. The .net rest SDK provides access to the APIs at developer.paypal.com.

I am reading this paypal-rest-sdk based payment integration approach from a blog, but I can't find it on Paypal's official developer pages. Question: If someone can help me link that blog's approach to a Paypal's developer page explained method, I'd appreciate.
Instead, I see a Braintree based payment integration approach listed on official Paypal developer page. Question: Is this one more preferable than the previous one? Plus, can this approach accept credit card payment (reading the doc, it seems to only support Paypal payment)
The PayPal-Node-SDK is deprecated, and the Express Checkout via Braintree Mobile SDK is only worth using if you need a native mobile SDK. So the answer to your question, based on the information provided, is most probably: neither.
Instead, you need to do a better job of reviewing the information on https://developer.paypal.com , namely https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/
For a good server-side integration, the front-end at https://developer.paypal.com/demo/checkout/#/pattern/server will be particularly useful.
Note that the fetch() routes it calls need to be placed with actual routes on your server, which will call the PayPal APIs for creation and capture during teh checkout. For those API operations from your server, use the supported Checkout-NodeJS-SDK.
I have looked at the Paypal REST API and at classic API. I like the Direct card processing support the REST API offers and the ability to use the Vault from the REST API.
Only problem is our PayPal sales rep insists the REST APIs are not stable and should not be used and wants us to use PayPal payments Pro with this Class API .
We have a business account and only expect to receive payments in the US, which per this link should be supported just fine. We need to accept payments using a mobile app and website. The mobile app needs to support one time transactions and both (app and website) need to support transactions using stored credit card information (which is where the Vault feature seems really handy).
I clearly see a lot of REST API questions so now doubt its in use.
Question for devs using the REST API over the past 6 months:
has it changed in a breaking manner for you?
Is it reasonably available (99.9%) for your applications?
Does using the Vault REST API feature require a Payments Pro account?
The RESTful APIs would work for you based off of what you stated. Granted they are not to parity with the Classic APIs just yet but the features you were requesting (Direct Card and Vault) are good to go. Pro is not required for Vault with a US account.
Lastly, without knowing the full conversation you had with your Sales Rep, I can't comment on why they felt so strongly against the RESTful APIs. However, if you open up a ticket at www.paypal.com/mts with all of your integration requirements, we can help you out with the best options available.
I am working with PayPal integration for the first time and am confused regarding the two solutions. I need to accept direct payments. User enters credit card information and I use PayPal as the processor. I would also at a later point after release like to add PayPal Express Checkout for convenience. I have PayPal Payments Pro, which assigned me a Payflow account. Which documentation should I follow to accomplish both? There are so many assorted PDFs, many of which are over 100 pages, and I don't have a clear idea where I should start.
I would greatly appreciate a quick separation of services (XMLPay? DoDirectPayment?)
I am using C# / ASP.NET and already have the core and rest api libraries installed in my project via NuGet. I also have an app created and an ID+Secret pair to use.
I have called PayPal but the phone team does not have the proficiency to answer these questions and simply refers me to the documentation site. Hopefully a developer who has been down this road can steer me in the right direction. Thanks!
I would suggest the REST Apis, they support both direct credit card and express checkout depending on which funding instrument (CC vs PayPal) you pass in the pay request.
There is also a C# SDK provided to get you started, all info available at: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/api/
For anyone running into this post in their search for more PayPal integration information (as I did), the C# REST API wrappers (provided by PayPal) are very useful, and they include full sample projects showing you how to perform most common tasks.

How can I integrate Paypal Here with Openbravo POS?
The workflow I'm looking for is:
Cashier selects card payment on Openbravo POS
Bill is automatically transferred to Paypal Here
Customer completes payment on Paypal Here
Confirmation is automatically transferred to Openbravo POS
I see there is an API for integrating iOS applications with Paypal Here, so this is certainly possible. It would be quite complicated to write an iOS application to do this; perhaps there's a simpler way?
I have now implemented my own system to do this. It consists of:
OpenBravoPOS scripting and a Java class to upload transaction details and wait for a response
A web application that receives the transaction details
A mobile web page that uses the Sideloader API to pass transaction details into Paypal Here
A callback on the web app that receives the transaction ID
This is working fine in a real shop. If you're interested in this solution, see my website.
To develop a fully-integrated solution, the PayPal Here SDKs for iOS and Android are now available on the PayPal Developer site:
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/integration/mobile/pph-sdk-overview/
There is also a version for Windows 8.1+ in Beta, available upon request. You can email DL-PayPal-Here-SDK#ebay.com for help with any of these.
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.
