The app needs to implement buyer-to-seller payments without involving marketplace account, meaning direct payments beetween buyer and seller. I've created two sandbox accounts to test how it may work and created Third Party Payment. It worked and said that the payment finished successfuly. But when I go to sandbox account page I can see NO activity, no money were paid and no operations in history. Why it happens and how can I test that this is a proper way for app needs? Thanks
While waiting for answers, it's now resolved. Obviously, given sample for Third Party Payment is only about creating the payment without execution. So execution is the answer.

I've integrated the PayPal payment gateway, but now I need to know whether PayPal can handle the below scenario.
Let's say a customer pays $1000 which includes a non-refundable $100 application fee. Later the customer cancels and receives $800 as there is also a $10 cancellation fee, so the formula looks like:
$refund_amount($800) = $total_amount($1000) - $cancellation_charge($100) - $application_fee($100)
So now my business account has balance of $200 and I want to transfer cancellation_fee($100) to my service provider's PayPal account and want to keep application_fee($100) in my account. This transfer is the step I need help with.
Initially all payment has been received by the app owner account and later if the customer cancels or completes the booking amount must transfer to the provider's account (minus the $100 application fee)
I have gone through some PayPal API docs but was unable to find any solution for the transfer.
I'm using the paypal/rest-api-sdk-php library in Laravel.
For receiving payments, do not use the v1 PayPal-PHP-SDK; it is deprecated. Use the cureen v2 Checkout-PHP-SDK. Implement two routes on your server, one for "Set Up Transaction" and one for "Capture Transaction", documented here: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/reference/server-integration/
For the payer to give their approval, pair your two routes with: https://developer.paypal.com/demo/checkout/#/pattern/server
For automating sending payments from one of your accounts to another account, use the Payouts-PHP-SDK. The account sending payments will need to be approved for PayPal Payouts. See here regarding requesting approval: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/payouts/integrate/prerequisites/#get-access-to-paypal-payouts
Can anyone help me with paypal payment integration in such a way that:
A payment for a service can be splited into two parts.
First part will be go into admin's account. And another will be on hold until task is completed by provider.
When task is completed then only payment will be transfered to the Service Provider.
Is this possible with paypal payment method in PHP?
Thank you in advance!
If you located to any of offered country for Marketplace, you can try to apply for Marketplace. You can read further in here : https://developer.paypal.com/docs/marketplaces/pp4mp/.
Previously PayPal has this service called Adaptive Payment however PayPal has taken a decision to sunset the app from current market.
I am working on Laravel 4.2 project. The project is about to provide the Video services to the dedicated customers.
The client wants to use PayPal payment gateway and I have never done this before. He has provided me a Personal and a Business account with Classical API credentials and signature.
The project requirement is once user sign-up, he will be charged certain amount (let us say $10 every month). For payment he must NOT be redirected to PayPal site that means everything should be done using my website only. Also we will NOT store any credit card details of the user and still the Payment should be done OR renewed automatically every month.
If user wants to turn of the the auto renewal of payment, he can.
I am not sure how to do this using PayPal classical API. Although I have downloaded the Omnipay/Omnipay package from git-hub, they asks there is no method to store the user's credit card details in PayPal Vault using this also to have a cron job for auto renewal. Since I don't want to store the credit card details, I am not sure how to do all this.
Please help me or guide me to do so. Is there any sample or example?
In order to take credit cards directly like you're asking you'll need to sign up with PayPal Payments Pro, which is $30/mo. Then you'll need to add the recurring billing feature to that, which is another $30/mo.
If that's not a problem, then after getting those things approved and active on your account, you would use the CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile API to create the subscription profiles.
This PayPal PHP SDK is available on Packagist and works with Composer, so it works wonderfully in Laravel.
The CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile sample is functional as-is (although, as I look at it now you'll need to update the expiration date of the credit card) so you would just need to replace all of the static data with your own dynamic data.
The template file is the same thing but it's completely empty and ready for you to populate with your own data.
Using that SDK you can have the profile creation working within minutes, so it's just a matter of having Pro w/ Recurring Payments enabled on your account.
I am looking for information on how large resellers collect payments and pay the people who sell on their site. (e.g. Redbubble.com, a company that pays artists a commission for their work)
Specifically, I am looking for different solutions that cover a few key functions at minimal cost (like Paypal fees)
Ability to take payment from credit cards and paypal (others a benefit)
Track sales for each merchant as payments are processing
Collect payments in central account
Payout all processed payments on a monthly basis
P.S. I imagine there are a few ways to do this, I am hoping to gain some insight on what solutions have been proven.
P.P.S. This is not a technology specific question. Whatever APIs or third party solutions you know of are fair game.
Thanks for your knowledge!
Try PayPal adaptive payments.

You can also try Stripe to collect funds to one account and to trasfer them to third party acccounts but this only works in the US.
Stripe Payments
You could use the Adaptive Payments API and that would allow you to split the payments up among multiple receivers in a single transaction in real-time. If you go that route the API calls that you'd be interested in are...
Pay - This setups the actual payment and the receivers on the payment.
SetPaymentOptions - This allows you to provide more details like items, shipping, etc.
ExecutePayment - This actually processes the payment in the system after it's been setup with the previous calls.
PaymentDetails - This obtains details about a completed transaction.
Preapproval (possibly) - This allows you to get a Preapproval key for a user that will allow you to trigger payments on that users behalf at any time in the future with the use of the preapproval key.
PreapprovalDetails (if you use preapprovals) - This obtains details about an active preapproval profile.
To get all of that working in the live environment you'll need to submit an application through your PayPal developer account to obtain a Classic API App ID. For development on the sandbox there is a global App ID that can be used.
Another option would be to take payments on your site using any PayPal product like Payments Standard, Express Checkout, Payments Pro, etc. and have all the money come to your account, and then use the Pay API to distribute those funds out to people accordingly. This could be automated with an IPN solution and possibly the use of a CRON job on your server.
This is the method I like to use, and I typically go with a full Payments Pro / Express Checkout integration for payments on my site and then I distribute via the Pay API within an IPN solution or CRON job like I mentioned.
I have a website where I need to reward users for their involvement by paying money into their paypal account. I have a paypal business account, and would like to know if it is possible to put money into their account automatically from just having their paypal account email address.
I am developing my website using php. Ideally, I would like to have a script on my server that when executed transfers money from my business account into their paypal account.
I am new to paypal, and having looked around I am getting confused as to all of the different APIs that are in use! MassPay keeps coming up but if possible I would rather I didnt have to pay the 2% charge on each payment - is there any other options?
The payments are not for goods or services and so could be classed as a personal transfer, would this eliminate any fees?
So my questions are:
1) Is this possible?
2) Which API is most suitable?
Thanks
Yes, it's possible but you're going to end up paying a transaction fee. I would recommend you do a batch process (that is, do one large payment request scheduled at a certain time of day) through PayPal's Mass Payment API.
You can read more about this API and how to use it here.
The way PayPal stays in business is by collecting these transaction fees. If it didn't collect them, it wouldn't be nearly as successful.
If you're looking at having more options on the transaction, including some ways to try and shift around who pays the fee, you may want to look at Adaptive Payments.
The best way is to generate a paypal button in the following URL:
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_donate-intro-outside
and place it at your page... You'll still have to pay some fee (although it's a low one)
