Is checkout with Credit card details possible through iPhone and Android Library? - iphone

Following is my understanding:
With the help of iPhone and Android library, we can pay the amount from one Pay pal account to another account.
This is my doubt:
Then how can let the user pay the amount using his credit card details in an iPhone or Android App? Are you providing any Web service APIs to achieve it?
If this is not possible, how can we let the user pay using his/her credit card?

I got the solution for this problem from the PayPal guys.
This is what the PayPal answered me:
Currently direct credit card payments are not allowed through any of PayPal's mobile products, users will need to use a PayPal account to checkout using the libraries.
To clarify, PayPal have two main
mobile products at the moment, Mobile
Express Checkout (Web) Mobile Payments
Library (in App). Both of these do not
allow for the user to checkout using
just a credit card yet. They will need
a PayPal account.
I would not recommend using the
standard web checkout flow for mobile
checkout as the user interface is not
optimized for a mobile
browser/webView.

PayPal Integration - IOS/Swift

I am developing an app where users have to make appointments. In order to successfully book an appointment, they have to pay via PayPal or credit card. However, the SDKs for PayPal have been deprecated for a while. The alternative I am seeing, is integrating PayPal using Braintree. Will this alternative work for me being located in the Caribbean? If not, what other alternative is there for me to integrate payments via PayPal/credit card?
Express Checkout via Braintree SDKs will work. It uses credentials from https://developer.paypal.com / https://www.paypal.com -- not https://braintreepayments.com
Here is the guide: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/accept-payments/express-checkout/ec-braintree-sdk/get-started/

Paypal adaptive payments

How can i implement payment with two receivers with PHP as a Webservice will be used in Mobile App?
User will pay from mobile app only with his/her credentials.Payment should be done with Webservice(API's).
Thanks.
I am not completely sure on the integration to a Mobile App (depends what platform etc.). Are you set on an actual app? Or would you be ok with just creating a web app (ie. mobile responsive website)? I have a website, and then for my app, I just built a very mobile responsive site to facilitate as if you are in an app.
This is what I used to integrate into my website where I have my users paying each other, and they are allowed to send payments to two or more receivers as well. Andrew (the owner of the site/code below) is a genius and his code is so easy to use/implement. It is all PHP based.

And here I think is what you want directly referenced from PayPal developer site. What you are looking for is the Adaptive Payments "Pay" API call:

Pay API: Transfers funds from a sender's PayPal account to one or more receivers' PayPal accounts (up to 6 receivers)

Paypal api - Adaptive Payments APP ID

I have 3 different websites that I want to use paypal Adaptive Payments for.
Auction
Marketplace
Funding
Do I need to set-up an new APP with paypal for each one? Or if I got one website approved can I use that APP ID on all my websites?
Also can anyone advise on how to get passed by paypal to get the APP ID, any good tips ?
Best way is to open a new APP at apps.paypal.com and the APP review team will guide you with your requirements as the APP approval depends on your business model and many other factors.
Adaptive payments was discontinued as of 01/12/2017 and PayPal Marketplace is the equivalent to adaptive payments.
You can learn more about the Marketplaces product on the PayPal Developer Portal: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/marketplaces/pp4mp/?mark=marketplaces

Paypal Pre-approved Payments via Mobile Web UI?

As of now, I'm able to link users to the desktop version of the payment preapproval page, where users can sign in or enter their payment information. Is there a mobile web version available?
here: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/mobile/gs_MPL/
"Because the Mobile Payment Libraries are build on PayPal's Adaptive Payments, you can accomplish many of the operations provided by that API with the MPL. For example, you can create mobile apps that provide for pre-approved and chained payments."

Credit card payment using paypal in Iphone application

I want to implement like this application
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/paypodd/id341546114?mt=8
Different kind of credit card payment through PayPal in my native iPhone application. I searched, most documents in paypal sites, they are showing, I need to entry paypal account/email address also to transact. But upon the application, I can see, directly he entered only credit card name, careditcard type, cvv and amount for his transaction?
Anybody any idea? How i implement this??
That application is using the PayFlow Pro merchant API:
https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/howto_gateway_payflowpro
Note that PayFlow Pro requires an existing merchant account -- you can't just use it to send money to your Paypal account. (This is probably why the iOS application you linked to has had poor reviews: the description doesn't make it clear that the application is useless on its own.)
