I've a PayPal button on my site where people can donate money. Is there a simple automated way to send the donator an email that I received the donation?
Are there any workarounds with autoresponder or anything like that?
Thanks
Michael
Probably enable IPN in your account and then when donor make a donation, paypal will send a notification using IPN. you should be able to get the donor email using variable payer_email in the notification and then you can send donor an email.

I have setup the PayPal express API buttons but it seems when i make a payment all goes through successfully however, from the seller side i am not receiving any emails telling me i have received a payment or such. I looked at the email notifications on the developer site there is nothing being sent out.
Am i doing something incorrectly or does the express checkout not send emails.
My integration is similar to this https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/integration-features/auth-capture/#
Thanks
Ensure the sandbox Business account receiving the payment has a confirmed email in the sandbox environment.
Log into it at https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/businessprofile/settings/email
Send the confirmation from there, if necessary
Read and proceed with the confirmation, via https://developer.paypal.com/developer/notifications
I'm trying to deal with Payouts API and I have some questions.
I'm using developer account and have 2 "fake" accounts in it, one as a seller and another one as a buyer.
When I'm sending payout request with email of buyer-user from my sandbox then user's balance debited directly without any prompt or notification to his email. Then I tried to send request with email which is not from my sandbox (actually it was my real email) and again I haven't got email with prompt or notification. Also this payment was rejected.
How I can test notification features?
I want to make payout call so the recipient should receive email notification before he get the money onto account. Also I want PayPal send email notification to user who don't have PayPal account when I'm sending the money.
For example I have a website on which there is a seller and a buyer. Is it possible for the buyer to pay directly to the seller(not through me)?
To make the link between a payment button and the Paypal account that will receive the funds, we use the e-mail address of the seller's Paypal account.
For example if you have payment buttons on your website and you want the money to go to the seller's directly, you can use the e-mail address of the specific seller's Paypal account in each buttons.

I'm building Invoicing system.
My client wants to send PayPal invoices without loggin to PayPal account.
I managed to make CreateInvoice() and CreateAndSendInvoice() functions to work (thanks to #Andrew Angell again!!!).
But now I need to "pay" the order. How do I act as a buyer, and pay the invoice?
There was no actually email sent to my box. I do see related record in 'notifications': "You've received an invoice XXX from YYY". But how, how do I "pay" it?
If you login to http://sandbox.paypal.com using the email address of the account that you sent the invoice to you'll see the invoice in the history just like a regular receiver would. You can pay it directly from there.
I have website integrated with Paypal PayFlowPro API. On payment success our application sends an email to user but sometimes due to some code changes or SMTP server issue an email dosen't go to user which in turns create some confusion to user.
I would like to know that is there any way that Paypal can send email to user on payment success or failure?
No, this is not possible with Payflow Pro.
Instead, I would suggest looking into 'some code changes or SMTP server issue'. For example, only mark the payment as completed if an email has gone through, and periodically check all payments that are success from PayPal but haven't been marked as completed on your end.
