Is it possible to have one Website Payment Pro account with Paypal but process payments from multiple websites? I have found the following link https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_payflow-pro-faq-outside#Can_I_use_one_Payflow_Pro which states:
"Can I use one Website Payments Pro account for multiple websites?
Yes. You can use a single Website
Payments Pro account to process credit
card payments for multiple websites,
as long as all the payments are being
deposited into the same Internet
merchant account."
However, when I call the UK sales number, they state that "multiple" actually means only two websites and they have to be selling the same product.
Is there anyone who has any experience with this? Who is correct, the site or the sales hotline? Also, does anyone know any payment gateways that allow multiple website to flow through one account?
Many thanks,
Chris.
Unfortunately, PayPal cannot confirm this either way. Their website still says that you can accept payments from multiple accounts. I will have to go elsewhere.

I would really like to use Paypal for my marketplace I am developing. I need to allow users to enter their paypal email address and whenever customers purchase that users products I take a small fee then the rest of the money goes to the user who listed the product.
What paypal service is the best for these types of payments? (me taking a transaction fee and sending the rest of the money to another paypal account)
I was looking into paypal express checkout, but can't find any info on sending some payouts to the users listing products. Also does express checkout require that the customer have a paypal account?
In case you are wondering and finding an answer, Express Checkout now comes with Parallel Payments. Read it here. As Adaptive Payment Parallel Payment now deprecated, the option left is using Express Checkout.
I have been trying to get a sensible answer from PayPal for days now. They are planning to release a protocol to support a market place in 2020 but not date yet. They have also confirmed (after talking to sales & tech support) that PayPal cannot be used for market places where your platform is nothing more than a broker.
Stripe Connect (Standard account) is probably the best solution out there.
After X hours of searching and lost-ing inside documentation and this community, I understand that, if :
I'm non US developer
my client is not a US company
I want integrate Paypal in market-place
sending several emails to Paypal support
I need to:
register as Business Account US in paypal.com ( and not in sandbox )
find an US user because I'm not, otherwise I need to fake my address, zip code and state
enter in developer.paypal.com
Someone can answer me YES ? or the right procedure ?
Thanks

"I'm a non-U.S. developer. What products are available to me?
The REST API supports a number of countries and currencies. The REST API provides simple payment processing for common business needs, including PayPal payments, direct credit card payments, authorization and capture, and refunds. For more advanced payment solutions such as parallel and recurring payments, you can use the NVP/SOAP APIs.
If you've previously used our NVP/SOAP APIs, you can continue to use them. Using your old Sandbox email address and password, you can import existing Sandbox accounts on the Sandbox Accounts page."
I started on this page:

After having a good read through PayPal's docs, I'm still lost.
FYI in Canada and US it's called "Website Payments Pro", otherwise it's "PayPal Payments Pro".
I need to setup a way of:
User subscribing to a yearly fee
User can setup subscriptions WITHOUT a paypal account (pro feature)
This sounds really simple, but when you start searching for more technical docs about that matter I can only find articles like these:
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/how-to-setup-recurring-payments/
Which is fine, but this isn't for PayPal Payments Pro. I heard I'll have to use server-side calls to the API but all I can find is people telling me to "create a button".
But the buttons, for some reason, doesn't support Pro features and ask users to register on PayPal to get subscribed which my client doesn't want at all.
Could anyone share me some light about those?
I find PayPal's docs misleading. I really really need to get this done as soon as possible but I cannot seem to find good docs or a good working example for this.
Thanks for your help, it's greatly appreciated!
PayPal Payments Pro is the new name for Website Payments Pro. The button way of doing things is called PayPal Payments Standard.
See https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/paypal-payments-pro/integration-guide/WPRecurringPayments/. Recurring payments can be set up with ExpressCheckout (buyer has a paypal account and logs in to paypal site to approve subscription during setup) or DoDirectPayment (you provide buyer's credit card info when setting up the subscription)
There are a few ways to do it, but if you don't want to mess around with API calls, then I would suggest using a subscription button and signing up for Enhanced Recurring Payments. This allows you to accept subscriptions from buyers who don't have a PayPal account and don't want to sign up for one. To sign up, go to https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/Marketing/merchant/ERPOverview.
I am currently using payments standard and moving to payments pro. Both are on paypal hosted pages.
Whenever I am testing however, I seem to be directed to the payments standard page rather than the payments pro page. Is there a particular change in the URL i am meant to use? I cant see anything in the documentation that say this is the case.
Cheers
It depends on how you're trying to process payments.
Payments Standard and the Hosted Checkout are two different payment methods but can look kind of similar. With Payments Pro you can use Direct Payment API calls to process credit cards directly from your website or redirect your buyers to a secure PayPal site to complete payments.
The URL you use for the secure checkout page through Payments Pro is different. You should be redirecting buyers to https://payflowlink.paypal.com for the live site and https://pilot-payflowlink.paypal.com for test transactions.
Not programming related, but it is related to the submission of apps to apple so I will post this question here:
I have searched the net for a while, and I have found no discussions about this; will apple deposit money into a Paypal account? Eg. If I add a paypal account into Itunes connect, will apple consider this to be a valid bank account and deposit all earnings as though it was a normal bank account?
Any help is appreciated.
No. It is not possible to use Paypal to receive payments from Apple.
See iTunes Connect FAQ
How are payments made?
All payments are made by Electronic Funds Transfer. When available, payments are sent by low value ACH, as
opposed to high value wire transfer. Apple's bank will consolidate
payments for different financial reports when possible, generally
resulting in a single payment for all earnings each month the
requirements for being paid have been met.
The payment method used (Wire/ACH) is displayed at the bottom of the
presentation of payments on the Payments page.
