I am using Woocommerce (unable to fund support unless I bought a product made directly by them.
The issue is, I was about to test out my site and noticed that the checkout page shows my personal Email address instead of my Business name, which to a customer would look VERY strange.
This picture shows what I mean, I didn't want my email shown. http://imgur.com/Ei26zQc
I have disable the sandbox box option too but still it shows my email
Log in to your PayPal account and go through all of the options in your profile. Make sure you have everything under Website Payment Preferences, Payment Receiving Preferences, etc. configured how you want. That should take care of what shows up during checkout on your site.
That said, you may want to take a look at PayPal for WooCommerce. It's free and allows you to setup Express Checkout, which is a more advanced version of PayPal checkout. It comes with options in the plugin to customize the checkout pages with your company logo, and it also allows you to enable "guest checkout" so that the option to pay with a credit card (without a PayPal account) is more prominent on the PayPal checkout pages.

I am not sure what this is called but here is what i am looking to do.
I am trying to make a php script that will create a link between our store account and paypal buyer, so that when they click our buy button it will process the payment without any future confirmations or user actions.
I have tried the paypal sdks and integration wizard no luck, Does anyone know of a working example of what i am trying to do?
Billing agreement(also called Reference Transactions) allows customer to agree the payment once on your website or app, then you call an API with the billing agreement ID to tell PayPal to charge the customer. Please see document here . You will need to contact PayPal to enable you to use Billing agreement, it's not easy to get approval:(
Integrating Paypal buttons are pretty straightforward.
Go to your merchant account.
Go to your Create Paypal Button page.
Choose whatever the button types you want. Configure it with Price etc.
Now just copy and paste the code generated.
It just works.
P.S
There is an option in your merchant account page to set the returning address from Paypal. You can set a returning page and catch all the transaction details via HTTP Post method when it is called by Paypal.
There is this Sandbox account type in Paypal which you can do a lot of playing with.
Using PayPal Express Checkout (via WooCommerce & the WooThemes PayPal Express Checkout plugin, on the e-mail that my client receives on payment (from their client), the description of the product is blank. Ideally I would want it to display the product name or at least item number, so the correct product can be shipped without matching up emails from PayPal & WooCommerce.
I'm pretty sure WooCommerce is sending the information to PayPal, because when I go to purchase an item, when I click the PPE button, it will show item names & prices in PayPal (had to blur specific item names)
I just need some way to identify which products to send out, from the 'You received a payment of X from Y' email PayPal sends out - I have taken a look in the plugin but all information looks like it is being sent through, so I'm not sure this is on the plugin side, I looked on PayPal developer support area and they linked to here, so I figured it would be a lot faster response than waiting for an e-mail from PayPal, and I am currently waiting a reply from WooThemes in regards to the plugin
As a side note, this also happens when the sandbox mode is enabled.
I am using paypal payment system for users subscription on monthly basis. All the things and flow working perfect. I need to know when user click on button and navigate to paypal site its show only pay with you paypal account or create account (pay with credit card) as shown figure
I didn't see image like credit card option as shown in figure below.
I'm using Digital Goods Example find on this link
https://github.com/thenbrent/paypal-digital-goods
In this example its uses SetExpressCheckout method and recurring user profile.
Its their any option or setting to enable in paypal business profile or paypal api to do that credit card payment option for users.
You have to have a Premier or Business account with PayPal before the option for credit card payment will show up.
If you already have a Premier or Business account, you probably have the relevant setting turned off. Go to Profile -> Selling Preferences -> Website Payment Preferences and look for "PayPal Account Optional." Make sure that box is checked.
If you can't find the box, click through lots of links for a while. PayPal enjoys rearranging their website a lot.
P.S.: If you are using Sandbox mode, it won't show up. You have to be using the real Express Checkout.
It works fine if you add these parameters when you call setExpressCheckout method:
SOLUTIONTYPE ="Sole"
Note: PayPal Account Optional should ON at sellers account.
I'm creating a really small website where I'll sell some products.
I need this website to show the available products, the users can add to the cart, and pay at the end, then I'll send the product for them by my self. It's a really small business.
I was taking a look at the paypal options and I didn't understand very well how it works.
For what I understand, with a free account I can only use their buttons, but I can't have a dynamic solution where I can manage my products on my website (look's like I need to add the products information like name and price on their website ).
What I wanted to do was just use my own website to handle this very simple store/products, and at the end, the user click on a CheckOut button, and Then I redirect the user to a paypal page where they can pay for the total value and then paypal redirect them back to me ( as a free account or at least with the 5$ account ).
Is that possible?
By the way I'm using CakePHP to build that, and I already have the website built with this framework, and to build what I need it's more than enough, I don't really need any solution like magento or others eCommerce platform.
Thank you.
If you use Paypal's free account then your visitor will leave your website, go to Paypal's website to make the payment, and then return to your website. Paypals paid version allows you to keep your visitor on your page, but you have to program you site to work with their API. Plus the cost can add up. Paypal also has other service other than just buttons. For instance they have a shopping cart too, but here again your vistor will leave your website to go to Paypals site to add the items to the shopping cart.
Another company that you might want to look at is https://stripe.com/ here you keep the vistor on your site as well as only paying per transaction rather than a monthly fee like at Paypal.
If you want to manage your items and inventory from your website and not enter everything into buttons at PayPal.com, I would suggest that you use Express Checkout. Express Checkout is also a free service and allows you to send all of the payments details to PayPal via API and PayPal will authenticate and allow your buyers to select shipping details. The user can then be redirected back to your website to complete their order.

Thanks,
I am doing paypal integration in my website in a section called stores where an user can sell his products from my store. And i am storing the paypal accounts of my sellers to pay him directly when customer purchase something from his store in my website. Is it possible to put my logo on the paypal checkout page where the seller email id i'm passing will not be mine(Since each sellers will have their own Paypal Business email id)?
Yes, you can make it using PayPal Express Checkout. No need for upgrading to Pro, and paying a fixed monthly fee.
When setting up the express checkout transaction, you have a parameter that tells PayPal which images to show for branding.
https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/ebook/PP_APIReference/expresscheckout.html#1144280
The parameter name is called cpp-header-image which make sure it's delivered through HTTPS otherwise the browser may ask the user is he/she want to see only the securely delivered content.
There is something called "PayPal Payments Pro", which allows you to have many options over a typical PayPal account. From X.com (a great resource for learning about the Paypal API Stack), I was able to pull the following link for you (which explains what you are wanting to do)
