am going to develop a website in php where user can place their items for selling and other user can buy these items and we as the site owner will be deducting some amount for giving services.
i'v steadied paypal but paypal don't allow the multiple dynamic payments.it allows multiple fixed payments.
i want to allow dynamic payments so that if a user post an item for selling and other user buy it,the buying amount would be shifted to my account and after service charge deduction i would be able to transfer payment to seller.
can anybody tell me that whether paypal allow this or is there any other payment gateway which would allow this.
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks:)
You can do that using the Adaptive Payments platform. I would recommend looking into Preapproval and Pay specifically.

The reason i am asking paypal question here is that being a new user,i have not been able to post question on paypal's community/technical/ developer websites.
I have developed a website (similar to ebay) where sellers/merchants can sell their products . My websites requires a payment gateway that could take orders from normal customers who buy sellers' products, deduct commission from that ordered amount and send money to seller's bank account.
Please note that there could be 1000s of sellers to sell their products.
To achieve this, I think adaptive chained payment method suits me to serve this purpose.
My question is:
1- My website acting as a primary receiver, can I change secondary reciever in each API call so that I could deduct commission from orders and put the rest of money into individual seller's PayPal account?
2- How can I set up my PayPal account to receive chain adaptive payments?What is the procedure to set it up as it is now a limited release product? It is now restricted to select partners for approved use cases and should not be used for new integrations without guidance from PayPal.
Here is what I tried:
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/adaptive-payments/integration-guide/APIntro/?mark=adaptive%20payment
I couldn't find the link to choose/set up Paypal chain adaptive payment.
Please accept my apology in advance as i am struggling for hours.
I would appreciate if you could share a link or guide.
Thanks
Hi we are creating a mobile app for marketplace where we are hoping to get eBay model implemented. Where buyer will pay the seller and we will take our cut from the seller. We actually don't want to get payment ourself for the sale and handle the disputes for order shipping or chargebacks.
When a sale is done on our app, the buyer should send the payment to the sellers paypal and then Paypal will handle all the other stuff regarding that like disputes or chargebacks.
I want seller to link his paypal account to our app and we will take permissions for future payments and maintain a record where we can calculate his fee regarding sales made on our platform. Paypal Mobile SDK support this feature.
But my question here is how can we automate the original purchase process? One option is when a sale is done, we will send invoice from seller side to the buyer (possible using Paypal REST API) and open invoice pay link on the buyer side. Once the buyer pay the invoice and transfer the funds to the seller we will know that sale is approved successfully because as a Paypal facilitator we have access to that invoice (we actually sent that invoice to the buyer as we have permissions of invoicing of seller account).
But what if we don't want invoicing system? Can we implement anything where buyer will send the funds to the seller without generating an invoice from our app. Like when a sale initiated, we will present buyer a page where he will pay directly to the seller (without us involved) and we will track that transaction and make outstanding cut on that sale?
My Research so far
Payapl mobile SDK for iOS don't allow us to take permissions for invoicing, we can take single, future or profile sharing permissions in app
Paypal Rest API allow us to take permissions for invoicing but not for future payments (that is necessary to take our cut from the seller's account)
If we use Paypal Mobile SDK, we can take funds in our account but not directly to our sellers account
Adaptive payments is an option where can take funds from buyers and after deducting our cut send the rest to the buyer but in that case we will be primary recipient and seller will be secondary, being a primary recipient we are responsible for shipping the product which at this stage we don't want. Want want to be seller as primary recipient
Any help regarding our situation would be greatly appreciated. We just want to automate the system somehow with the APIs and SDKs without being the primary recipient. Please give us suggestion to make this a reality. Thanks
Using any other payment gateway like Stripe or Braintree will not help here because in that case we will be taking money as registered merchants. We would really like to work with Paypal for handling all order related stuff
The Express Checkout API supports Parallel Payments, in which case you specify the SELLERPAYPALACCOUNTID in the request. This is where the money for that particular payment would be sent.
You can use this functionality even with a single payment on the order, though. So you can just setup a single payment and include that SELLERPAYPALACCOUNTID parameter, and the money will go directly to that account.
When doing this you can use your own API credentials and no permissions or anything are required from the 3rd party account to send the funds directly to them.
This PayPal PHP SDK will make the Express Checkout API calls very quick and easy for you, so you could just setup some simple PHP services to hit from your mobile app(s).
I have one (custom PHP) shopping cart, with multiple products.
I am already using Encrypted Website Payments, to encrypt the final buy now button on the fly.
Some items in the cart may be owned by myself, and some by my partner.
So far, I've just been accepting all the funds into my own PayPal account, and redistributing the ones needed to him, but I'd rather have payments for him, go directly to him. (mostly so they don't show up on my own 1099 statements)
Can I split the payment between multiple vendors? Getting API access granted from the other account would not be a problem.
Look into Paypal Adaptive Payments. It allows for payments to be sent to two parties.
Both Adaptive Payments and Express Checkout support parallel payments.

I'm building a website where users can buy virtual money and later sell them. I have already made the system for buying the credits with PayPals DoDirectPayment API, but im stuck at the point of paying the user when he wants to sell them.
How can i pay a user who dosn't have a PayPal account?
When its possible to get money from creditcard numbers, shouldn't be possible to do it the other way around?
By the way, i am using Angelleyes library for paypal payments, if its make any difference.
This is my first time with website payments, so i have no experience at this.
You cannot transfer money to ones bank account but you programatically make a payment to a Paypal account using Mass Payment: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_batch-payment-overview-outside
We have advertisers module where advertisers can place ads in to the site.
When user clicks ad, system should automatically sends money to site admin account and users account.
Notes:
. Assume each ad cost $10, need to distribute $5 each.
. Assume system has user and site admin credit/debit cards info.
My questions
1) How can I achieve it?
2) I want to achieve it through php. is there any issues?
Thanks

You will have to use some payment gateway to actually "post" a financial transaction. Paypal, or others;
Php is way mature now, and I believe you can do that in php.
You can use either Express Checkout Parallel payments to send $5 to each recipient's PayPal account, or PayPal Adaptive Chained / Parallel payments. The difference is that Express Checkout doesn't offer chained payments.
You cannot, however, automatically transfer these funds from a PayPal account to a credit card and/or bank account.
Have a look at https://www.x.com/ for documentation (I can't post more than two links..).
You can do this through Authorize.net with minimal coding skills.
