I tried CreateAndSendInvoice API on paypal API explorer. It worked fine. Created invoice and send it to customer. But the problem is, it sent invoice on paypal account of customer but not on his personal account. How to send this invoice to personal accounts instead of paypal account ?

I know how to send money from Personal account to Business account (by using paypal-rest-sdk). But now I want to send money from Business account to a Personal account
Is there a product to support this type of payment
by using paypal-rest-sdk
The old PayPal-Node-SDK for receiving payments is deprecated, so you'd better mean the current Checkout-NodeJS-SDK.
For sending payments to another account, you can set the purchase_unit payee to the email address of the receiving account.
If you wish to send payments from your a Business account in an automated fashion, the Business account owner can contact PayPal to inquire about enabling Payouts.
I'm trying to use the PayPal Adaptive Payments Payment API. I am trying to test the API with my own email address, but I get an error specifying the sender by email. I'm wondering how to determine my own account ID to try that way?
I'm referring to the account id here: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/adaptive-payments/PaymentDetails_API_Operation/
I get the error: "The email address smithd98#gmail.com is invalid. It may not be registered in PayPal's system yet" when trying to pay by my email. When I log in with PayPal my email address is correct. My account is verified with a bank account, credit card, and debit card connected.
You can get your PayPal account ID by logging into your PayPal account and looking in your profile, or you can also get it via the GetPalDetails API.
my ipn works perfectly its setup under our business PayPal account. our asp.net website is being used by multiple customers with their own members, unique by their login. as of now the cart writes to our database with the orders and sets a status code that gets changed to 'completed' via the ipn call/authentication from PayPal using our PayPal email. now, a couple want to use their own PayPal accounts, non-for profits, so in order for this to work as previously described what changes in the post variables?
ex of what i need: a member of our customer logs in to our website, adds items to their cart and chooses PayPal payment option. it writes to our database as an 'in-process' order. it opens our customer PayPal account to complete the payments then once complete it calls our ipn setup under our PayPal account and redirects back to the custom page.
again, everything is already working great just want to call their own PayPal account instead of ours w/o needing to have them setup the ipn settings under their account, but use the ipn setup under our PayPal account. members see their own customer PayPal account billing theme and the money is in their account not ours. is this possible?
do we send the ipn location url and our customer PayPal account info in the post variables?
thanks for any help
As far as processing the payment on their PayPal account, you can go about this 2 different ways. You can either use their API credentials and pass those over in the API call and the payment will be processed on their account. Second option would be to have them grant 3rd party API permissions to your API to be able to process transactions on their account. Then you would just pass over your API credentials in your API call and also pass over their email address of their PayPal account in the variable "SUBJECT". This will then process the payment on their account.
As for still haveing the IPN POST sent to your script, you will just need to pass over the IPN URL in the API call. When pass it over in the API call, it will override whatever is set in the account. For example, if you are using NVP the variable would be "NOTIFYURL".
i have made an account on https://developer.paypal.com/ and after that create a personal account and a business account now i want to test these account to make a transaction on sandbox but on sandbox there is a problem that i can't get access to login as personal account and as business account https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/ i used the email address and password of my personal account and business account . how i can do test on paypal sandbox ?
I am also passing through these phases, anyway after just logged in at https://developer.paypal.com/ with your paypal acount that you created at https://www.paypal.com/, you will found an an application menu there, and on the left side you will found sandbox_accounts, paypal will automatically create your merchant account, this merchant account will be used as a seller in paypal api, and you personal account will be used for transaction like payment.
we have set up Paypal as a hook into an e-commerce application, where users just enter their paypal account, and we link their clients through to their Paypal account when buying products.
This works great, and paypal asks you to login to pay for your purchases.
But we don't want clients to be forced to create a paypal account, just to make a purchase.
Does website payments standard API actually support paying without a paypal account?
At the moment this is a real showstopper for us.
Check out PayPal Adaptive Accounts. You can create PP accounts for your users. The only step they'll have to complete at PayPal is creating a password. Once the account is created you might need send the user back through a checkout flow.
Adaptive Accounts
Use the Adaptive Accounts API to build applications that create and manage PayPal accounts. Merchants and developers can use the API to create PayPal accounts, add payment methods to accounts, and verify a PayPal account status.
Paypal is a very useful payment service gateway, exactly because the customer does not need to enter a credit-card number.
What we do, is offer Paypal as an option. We allow credit-card entry as well. In order to evaluate the credit-card for validity etc., we interface with the bank that supports our account and let their system do the checks. Another option would be "Cash on Delivery".
