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.

I created a test business account on sandbox environment and used a wordpress plugin "Easy Digital Downloads" to deploy recurring payments or subscriptions, but when I click on purchase button, I get this error:
This feature is only available to Business and Premier Accounts
My main account is Business account, and the testing account I use is also a business account. I tested it with a real account instead of using a sandbox account and it works fine.
What can be the cause of this issue and how can I resolve it?
Seems to be an issue with the sandbox account. Kindly create a new sandbox business account with another email address at developer.paypal.com. Click here for more information. If you are still seeing the same error message with newly created sandbox account kindly connect with Paypal Support team at https://www.paypal-techsupport.com.
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.
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.
I want to test clicknbuy payment gateway like paypal sandbox? Is that possible ? If yes, how ?
You can test Paypal by using different settings for the script. Instead of using the "real" api you create a developer account. That allows you to have a fake account and fake usernames to simulate payments. When you're done with everything you can switch to using the normal api instead of the test server.

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)
