Is it possible to be the middle man for a Paypal transaction without having anything thing to do with the transaction (PayPal account wise)
so the buyer pays directly into the seller's account and my site verify's the purchase (somehow) and emails download link.
How is this done and yes this is a coding question since it involves PayPal API and possible PHP workaround.
Any help would be happily received.
Yes, you should use Paypal adaptive payments to achieve this. Note that you need a PayPal Business account. A related question with answer: Online payments for a middleman

I'm using a custom php Paypal nvp API for express checkout.
When people pay with their paypal account I have no problem in my php script, I insert the order, order details and I send the email to the customer. When people pay with their credit card without paypal account I don't receive the transactionid.
The strange fact is that when I use the sandbox, I generate a fake visa I do the payment, in my database I have the transaction id and I receive the email.
Someone had or is having my same problem?
There are different ways to manage payment with and without account?
For both I'm checking the payment status = Complete.
Happy to help your query,
Firstly, PayPal NVP is deprecated implementation. There wouldn't any support for new merchants who willing to add PayPal as a payment option.
Please go through the below recent products which run on REST APIs. I suggested two options of accepting payments so, hence choose the best one suits you.
Standard Integration Link.
Advanced Credit & Debit Card Link.
Thanks.
I have my PHP Website where two different Category of users includes: Customers and Performers signed up. Now through my Website customers wants to pay via PayPal to Performers, Is there a way in PayPal to achieve this?
I have saved Performer's PayPal Email in my database, so I just want it work like PayPal payment buttons but with my own PayPal email and with my own Amount of money.
Ideas apart from PayPal are also warmly welcome.
how about braintree. It support normal credit card payment gatemway and also paypal implementation
I think it is better to have normal credit card payment gateway and then implement paypal after that, cause I think all paypal user has credit card and not all credit card user has paypal.
Use this link for your reference to implement normal payment gateway, it should be very easy as they also provide sample code
https://developers.braintreepayments.com/javascript+php/start/overview
And you can continue to implement paypal after that using this link for reference

I've puzzled by this question for quite a while, but never had the need for it. Now I do.
What I currently need is a Credit Card payment option for my website that does not rely on services such as Paypal. I want something like Name.com or Hostmonster.com have. You simply enter you credit card number, expiration date and the three little numbers at the back of the card. How can I achieve the same effect on my website?
I'll be programming the website in PHP.
Answers would be appreciated.
You need to signup to a payment gateway. It's a service that allows you to process credit card payments. I know you don't want to use PayPAL to accept payments, but PayPAL offer two solutions:
PayPAL Payments - That is the button and people pay through PayPAL
PayPAL Payments Pro (Payment Gateway). That is when you use PHP or anything else to connect to PayPAL with the credit card information. The customer never knows you used PayPAL, and they never leave your site.
When choosing a payment gateway these are the four most important things you should consider:
How easy is it to implement (PayPAL has a lot of documentation)
How much is the monthly fee.
How much do they charge per transaction.
How much do they charge to setup an account.
There are other options, and one of the most common is Authorize.net, but the is more setting up and a larger deposit to open an account.
Most accounts will require a background and credit check.
Well, you'll still need to rely on a Merchant Services company for card processing. There are many companies that boast an API that can then be accessed with PHP. One that I have recently learned of is Stripe. However, there are many competitors and you can research other companies further, but companies like Stripe will allow you to generate payments programmatically without having to leave your site to visit the black-box that is PayPal.
I have created a successful PayPal IPN script which imports the result into my database but I would like to know if there is any way I can set a custom $receiver_email for the transaction. The problem I run into when doing this is that the IPN is not set up on some accounts.
To put it into context I am creating an auction site where buyers can pay for items and the seller (receiver_email) needs to change to send the payment to them.
If there any way I can get round this problem? If someone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance!
No, this isn't possible. The IPN settings are set at the account level, so it is up to the receiving paypal account to notify their IPN system.
You would be better off (from a technical point of view, IANAL and this isn't advice on legal issues) having buyers all paying into a central clearing account which you then use to separately pay the sellers.
It sounds like you are looking for PayPal Adaptive Payments. A note about this though: one account - probably you as the main application owner - must have a PayPal business account. The other accounts that receive a payment only need a personal account.
PayPal provides an SDK with samples for the Adaptive Payments on Github. Select Adaptive Payments from the menu on the left. There are samples for multiple languages that should be able to get you started.
I have a script which enables the users to pay into my paypal account.
Now I need a script which would pay from my account to theirs... I tried to find it but I'm didn't manage... everywhere there are only pay now/cart buttons etc which allows users to pay me, not opposite.
thanks in advance
A script that automatically pays from your account to someone else's doesn't, will not ever, exist.
What you can use however, is PayPal Adaptive Chained Payments to automatically transfer part of your funds to a secondary receiver.
Is that what you're looking for?
Have a look at the Adaptive Payments SDK's at https://www.x.com/community/ppx/sdks#ADAPI as well
