I am trying to integrate Paypal's Adaptive Payment API into my app with will be only using the peer to peer transactions but I can't do anything related to peer to peer payments. I tried using this tool from Paypal but I still haven't got any success. Through that Paypal tool, I tried sending money to my one personal sandbox account to my other personal sandbox account but it is still charging me [3% + $0.30] (paypal's standard business-client transaction fee).
So, I just want to be able to send money to friends/family through my app using peer to peer transactions that are without any fees. Therefore, my question is how can integrate Adaptive Payment API for only peer to peer payment transaction?
Thanks!!
I think you have to get PayPal's business account to the get the access of their API. I recently talked to their tech support and they let me know that there is no way you can get the API where you don't have to pay the transaction fees.

How can I send money using PHP and the PayPal API these days?
I've seen multiple responses from few years ago on Stack and the solutions out there are now deprecated documentation...
Example : Send money using Paypal php rest SDK or
Can I send money with Paypal API to other paypal account? If yes how?
Adaptive Payments is deprecated and cannot be used for any new integrations.
The Payouts API would work. In the live environment the business account sending the payout must be approved for the feature, contact PayPal's general support (not technical support) for that.
I am just wondering that can i send payment to another paypal accounts using PayPal-PHP-SDK or i have to go with Adaptive payment.
I have just gone through their document but didn't find this functionality.
How about Payouts API ? You should be able to use Payouts using PayPal-PHP-SDK which is actively developed.
Also, there are few samples that could get your started really quickly. You could setup the SDK and run samples in your machine fairly quickly without any issue.
You have 2 options: MassPay or Adaptive Payments API.
Adaptive Payments has more control over the payment and is the future direction of the Paypal APIs, so that's where I'd start if I were you. It supports SOAP, NVP, JSON and XML. MassPay has both a SOAP and NVP interface.
My Requirement: We have an iphone app which will accept paypal login id and password of user and our web service should authenticate those details and if the user is a valid one, on next web service call will accept the details of second user and amount to transfer and the web service should make the payment automatically (without redirecting to paypal site).
Is there any facility available in paypal for this functionality. I have gone through adaptive payments of paypal but didn't find anything related to authentication. We have written the web service in php. Any sample code/ links would be helpful. Thanks
I believe this is what you're after. Specifically Login with PayPal and Seamless Checkout.
You might also want to look at Adaptive Payments, specifically Preapproval and Pay.
My application processes payments using the Adaptive Payments Pay API, it is just the API called, it is not a sender or receiver of the funds. The payment's are set as personal payments as they are gifts. Everything works fine in sandbox, the problem is when switching to live, I get API credentials from my business account and set them in my app for the live site, but now I get an error "The caller's credential doesn't have permission for the payment type PERSONAL"
I guess this is because my business account is the API caller, but I don't see how that should stop me from processing personal payments when the receiver is a personal account (as is sender). Anyway around this?
Or do I have to use a personal account to process payments?
Did you get a live App ID for your application? When you applied for that app you should have explained that you'll need to be process personal payments so they could enable that feature for you.
You can indeed send personal payments from business accounts, but you just need to get it enabled for your app.

My project is in php so need api in php
I believe you're referring to this Flagship Merchant Services. According to their FAQ, you need an Internet merchant account with them before they'll provide you with the First Data Global Gateway API to interface with their payment gateway.
I worked on similiar integration code with a local credit card processing provider and they only provide the interface API only when the client has signed up an account with the provider. Presumably, it's for security purposes (at least security through obscurity)
