I've got a website selling second hand things as ebay.
I want to integrate Paypal on my website, but I don't want to get the money.
I just want that a buyer pay the seller using Paypal.
Do you know how to integrate that ?
Thinks, and please excuse my french english !
Personal accounts do not offer any integration or verification features, but you can point them to the correct PayPal page by populating a link with appropriate data:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=recipient%40email%2ecom&lc=US&item_name=test123&item_number=123&amount=50%2e00¤cy_code=USD&button_subtype=services&no_note=0&tax_rate=5%2e000&shipping=10%2e00&bn=PP%2dBuyNowBF%3abtn_buynowCC_LG%2egif%3aNonHostedGuest

I have website on which I want to sell subscriptions. Here is the scenario:
In the pricing tables there is button purchase. When user click on the button I am sending him to the form where he can enter his details (name, email, password) . When visitor click on the submit button his account is created and I want to redirect him to the pay-pal page, where the user can make the payment.
Can anyone point me to some article on pay-pal page where I can read instructions how can I do that, and which model/api/gateway/whatever I should use for that? I know how to create subscription buttons, but using them doesn't seem to fit in my scenario-flow. Please note that I need help to FIND information how this can be done, I will find my way with the coding.
PayPal supports multiple ways to sell subscriptions.
You can use one of these depending on type of complexity you can handle and features you want:
PayPal WPS Subscription Buttons
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/Appx_websitestandard_htmlvariables/#recurring-payment-variables
This is a button integration, you can specify your subscription terms and PayPal will take care of making recurring payments. You can also maintain inventory, profile & loss tracking. This will require very less coding effort from your end.
API Integration: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/direct/billing-plans-and-agreements/
This is an API integration: Here you need to create a Plan and redirect the buyer to paypal to get buyer's approval. Then you can do recurring payments via API calls. You will need to maintain a secure database of approval ids, buyer details and the agreement details. Also you will need a daemon which should call PayPal apis on subscription dates.

I know this question has repeated in stackoverflow. But i'm posting this, just to get an advice as i have messed up all the things about this topic and i don't have any correct idea of what i'm doing.Please guide me.I will be very grateful. I'm just a beginner to programming. I'm developing a web site, Which can post advertisements by customers about vehicles. and whenever a customer posted a ad, if he/she needs to make that posted advertisement to be appear at the top of the website, he/she can pay a fixed amount of money and make that advertisement the top ad. So for this task i need to ad a payment gateway which can accept credit card payments.
I have created a sandbox account in paypal developer site and also have upgraded it to paypal pro account. and also i watched so many tutorials on this, but now i have messed up with all those tutorial information and i don't have correct idea about how to do this. In some tutorials there linking the paypal account with paypal manager etc. I'm messed up with all these things and i don't know what purpose they are creating this paypal manager etc. According to my knowledge i think, To accept credit card details paypal payment pro account is used. So please anyone can give me a guide to how to begin to do this task. and if anyone can please show me a any step by step tutorial to achieve this task.
please guide me.
I will be very grateful for any help :-)
If you are using Paypal to validate payment, normally you just have to use the PayPal API.
Official documentation is good : Paypal SDK
Hope it can helps you.
EDIT : Here, examples in PHP, very simple.
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.
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,
Is it possible to integrate the Google Checkout API or Paypal API with my marketplace? I am using PHP to generate the market, one auction at the time. I have a MySQL database containing all of the market actions, however, I was wondering. Can I use either Google Checkout or Paypal to dynamically generate the Checkout process, and give the proceeded money to the user whose posted action, then notify me?
I am able to load User details from the MySQL database aswell.
I looked at the 'StackExchange' network, however; I could not figure out where to place this question. Therefore I assumed this was the best place ?
Google Checkout as the term implies is pretty much what it says - it allows a merchant to outsource their checkout operations to Google. I don't think it's a fit because in your case, "merchant" is "dynamic" - its different sellers across auctions. Additionally, Google Checkout isn't for person-to-person payments - its specifically for a merchant (store) to sell products and service at it's web site and have the checkout process handled by Google.
Look into Paypal Adaptive Payments.
You can also look into Amazon FPS .
I'm not familiar with your project's terms such as 'generate the market', 'market actions'
PayPal has reference tranactions in which you can charge same customer's credit card again without storing actual credit card.
Authorize.Net has CustomerPaymentProfile in which they store your customers's credit cards. Then you can submit each customer's paymanet profile, and they'll charge the card for you.
I'm not familiar with Google's automatic checkout without actual credit card.
