I want to create a paypal checkout enabled website for my client.
I tried searching for this but no luck ..
my actual plan is:
any visitor in the website asking for service service should be able to pay via paypal and the money should go to my client paypal account ..
I would recommend using the Express Checkout API for this. You can use the SELLERPAYPALACCOUNTID parameter to pass in a 3rd party PayPal account ID or email address and the money will go directly to that account without the need to mess with Permissions.
If you happen to be working with PHP I'd recommend taking a look at my class library for PayPal. It will make the Express Checkout Calls (SetExpressCheckout, GetExpressCheckoutDetails, and DoExpressCheckoutPayment) very quick and easy for you.

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.
I have an issue right now that is killing me, I have implemented several payment options but never used paypal, I don't know why is it so complicated.
The website already exists and wasn't developed by myself.
I don't know the ammount of the order it is dynamic, so the "create payment buttons" on the paypal website doesn't work for me, at this point i developed a solution using
PayPal developers
But it turns out that i only have the option to pay with a PayPal account or register a PayPal account, I do not want to force customers to do this, it has no sense. is there any relatively easy solution out there using the same PayPal API?
EDIT
The whole site code is in PHP so i need the solution in this language
As you have mentioned that you are aware of one payment method i.e. Express Checkout ( in which user needs to have a valid Paypal account) so the other method which I think you need is the Direct Payment (i.e. a user can pay with credit cards directly without any Paypal account) API.
For this direct payment api you need to enable Website Payment Pro WPP , here you can get info about WPP.
Hi I have some questions for paypal digital goods express checkout
I am following paypal tutorial on integrating payments for digital goods and using merchant sdk for same.But I want some suggestion and have some questions
Is there some other better alternative to integrate payment for digital goods ?
Should I configure IPN or can I rely on return url to save data on backend?
How can I make sure that data is from paypal both on return url and IPN .
As read I need to make request to https://www[.sandbox].paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr/ with command cmd => _notify-validate [reference]
Is there any inbuilt function in sdk I am using or should I make manual call ?
re: #1, EC for Digital Goods is a solid choice for digital goods sales. If you don't need the digital-goods specific features you can also use PayPal's regular/plain EC or the newer RESTful products.
re: #2, EC doesn't do the payment until you make an API call (well, unless you explicitly ask it to with an added parameter). So you can use either the response from the DoEC API call or set up IPN. If you do choose to actually have the payment take place on PayPal's site you have some small chance of the user paying and not redirecting back successfully (e.g. they close the browser window, or the network hiccups). This should be very rare & you can probably handle it manually or with some other mechanism, but this is one reason people like IPNs: PayPal will try repeatedly to push you the info, so it requires more than a transient failure to not get the word (eventually).
re #3, it sounds like you know to validate the IPNs. And if you use GetExpressCheckout API calls you are hitting PP so again you can be certain of the source of the reply. This is one advantage the API integration model has over the redirection-based mechanisms in Website Payments Standard (although if you were using WPS you could use a feature called PDT to ask it to send you the same signature block as is used in IPN so you could post back to PP to validate the redirection contents).
Basically I want my users to associate PayPal account in their accounts for identify verification purposes. I am developing a marketplace site and wanted to integrate paypal as my identity verification procedure.
Is there a way to verify email address, first name and last name using PHP like using $_GET variables or $_POST variables? If there is can you show me how?
I tried search and I get Adaptive Accounts GetVerifiedStatus API. But that totally new to me, I don't know where and how to start.
Your best bet here is to make them start, but not complete, an Express Checkout. A normal Express Checkout (referencing Classic but REST works the same way) looks like this
SetExpressCheckout - Tell PayPal you want to authorize $1.00 and have them log in and authorize the payment
GetExpressCheckoutDetails - Take the token from step 1 and get their PayPal account details. Included in this is PAYERSTATUS, which will tell you if their PayPal account is verified or not
DoExpressCheckout - You won't do this, but this is where you finish the process and get funds. Since the data you want is in Step 2, just ignore it and the session will expire.
You could implement GetVerifiedStatus API to determine whether the specified Paypal account's status is verified or unverified.
To use that API, you need to submit the application request to Paypal for approval first. Submission portal link here.
Then use the GetVerifiedStatus API call directly, refer to API request fields,link.

i have a client that provide a service on his website.he wants to automate the service orders.
the service has these steps:
1- user submit a form with request.
2- my client review the request, validate it and use the info in this request to :
3- login to another website
4- buy a product from this website using his paypal account.
5- downlad and send the product in email to the user.
i was able to automate all of this using curl.the only problem i have is the purchase process using papal.i didn't deal with paypal before.so i want to know if i can just submit the papal form on the purchase website using curl.or this will not work?
while searching i found something about papal IPN.but i don't know if my client have this IPN in his papal account or not? also, he does not want to give me his papal info. is there is anyway i can do this with fake paypal account to try it?
thank you so much.
First of all, sign up for a PayPal sandbox account: https://developer.paypal.com/devscr?cmd=_signup-run
It's a really slick system PayPal put together for developers to test out stuff.
Secondly, review the PayPal API's at:
https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/library_download_sdks
I believe all you need is the PHP Name-Value pair or Website Payments Standard interfaces.
IPN stands for Instant Payment Notification, it's a way for PayPal to tell you that a payment was made.
What you are looking for is either the PayPal NVP or SOAP interfaces.
