are there any tutorials on how to setup paypal adaptive payments api with recurring billing? I searched everywhere but only find the payflow and paypro with recurring billing. And please don't link/point me to the dev docs on paypal's website, those don't really help since they are too detailed and long...and not to mention don't really show any code examples on this.
You could use the preapproval feature with Adaptive Payments to set up a type of recurring payment. A preapproval is an approval to make future payments on the sender’s behalf. So you could set your system up to automate the calls, such as a cron job or etc to process the payments for you. There should be information on this in the Adaptive Payments guide. Some online gaming sites use this features for purchases and subscriptions.

I want to integrate recurring payments using paypal for my application which is uk based and I want to use credit card as well for recurring payments.
I have checked Paypal Payflow gateway and it shows Payflow Pro is not available for uk.
Please help me Is paypal works for uk based application or not.
If not then what will be available gateways that i can use for recurring payments.
Thanks.
Did you have a look at the Laravel Cashier documentation there are already Frameworks for your case (Braintree=Paypal)
Everything does not look good with the Paypal APIs. Paypal Merchant API seems to be deprecated , but most of the examples and functionality is referring to Marchant SDK.For example take Recurring. REST API does not provide any example of Recurring Payments !
In what context this API is deprecated ? I am looking for recurring payments done for "Paypal Payments Advanced" account type.
If you are looking to implement Recurring Billing with PayPal Payments Advanced you'll want to look at the Payflow platform APIs. here is a good place to get started:
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/products/recurring-billing/
I am looking for information on how large resellers collect payments and pay the people who sell on their site. (e.g. Redbubble.com, a company that pays artists a commission for their work)
Specifically, I am looking for different solutions that cover a few key functions at minimal cost (like Paypal fees)
Ability to take payment from credit cards and paypal (others a benefit)
Track sales for each merchant as payments are processing
Collect payments in central account
Payout all processed payments on a monthly basis
P.S. I imagine there are a few ways to do this, I am hoping to gain some insight on what solutions have been proven.
P.P.S. This is not a technology specific question. Whatever APIs or third party solutions you know of are fair game.
Thanks for your knowledge!
Try PayPal adaptive payments.

You can also try Stripe to collect funds to one account and to trasfer them to third party acccounts but this only works in the US.

You could use the Adaptive Payments API and that would allow you to split the payments up among multiple receivers in a single transaction in real-time. If you go that route the API calls that you'd be interested in are...
Pay - This setups the actual payment and the receivers on the payment.
SetPaymentOptions - This allows you to provide more details like items, shipping, etc.
ExecutePayment - This actually processes the payment in the system after it's been setup with the previous calls.
PaymentDetails - This obtains details about a completed transaction.
Preapproval (possibly) - This allows you to get a Preapproval key for a user that will allow you to trigger payments on that users behalf at any time in the future with the use of the preapproval key.
PreapprovalDetails (if you use preapprovals) - This obtains details about an active preapproval profile.
To get all of that working in the live environment you'll need to submit an application through your PayPal developer account to obtain a Classic API App ID. For development on the sandbox there is a global App ID that can be used.
Another option would be to take payments on your site using any PayPal product like Payments Standard, Express Checkout, Payments Pro, etc. and have all the money come to your account, and then use the Pay API to distribute those funds out to people accordingly. This could be automated with an IPN solution and possibly the use of a CRON job on your server.
This is the method I like to use, and I typically go with a full Payments Pro / Express Checkout integration for payments on my site and then I distribute via the Pay API within an IPN solution or CRON job like I mentioned.
My client has a requirement, I'll illustrate :
Suppose someone purchases something(worth $100) from my client's website. Now my clients wants that $85 would go to the owner of that item and $15 my client will keep as commission.
Is this possible ?
Thanks
See Adaptive Payments on the PayPal website.
The Adaptive Payments API allows merchants and developers to pay almost anyone and set up automated payments. They can create applications that manage payments, payment preapprovals, and refunds. They can also send money peer-to-peer, split payments in both parallel and chained models, accept guest payments, and schedule disbursements. The Adaptive Payments API works on multiple platforms including the web and mobile environments.
Hi
Can someone please explain me if "PayPal recurring payment" and "Paypal subscription" are the same thing?
Like I am working on a monthly membership payment integration with php and paypal. What I need to do is make this go on forever until the member decides to opt out. I am using this class found at www.micahcarrick.com/php-paypal-ipn-integration-class.html for the integration.
In the class you can mention like for how long you would like to make it as recurring payment but there are no options to make it go forever like a monthly subscription thing. Please help!
Many thanks in advance and I really appreciate your help :-))
These are not the same thing. A standard PayPal account can create subscriptions but not recurring payments. If you plan to use IPN as your only integration, you need to create subscriptions, not recurring payments. You do not create them programmatically, you just generate a subscription link and the buyer creates the subscription on the PayPal website.
Recurring payments are part of one of the APIs accessible to PayPal Website Payments Pro accounts.
