I have created my shopping cart, and I have completed the payment process via PayPal.
The problem now is that when I get the payment, it requires by me or the buyer to accept the payment from the PayPal dashboard manualy, in order to be mark the order as completed.
What I would like to ask, is, if there is any way to auto accept the payment, without logging in to my PayPal dashboard.
Can I use the PayPal API to auto accept the payment?
Sandbox and your main PayPal account have different configurations, I think PayPal Sandbox specifically holds all payments so you can 'manually' accept them for the purposes of testing, or you may be able to change this in the account settings.
Auto-Accepting payments will work normally on your real paypal account.
It also depends on the configured currency of your Paypal account - if the payment is coming through in a currency you don't ordinarily accept, it will hold the payment as pending. You may need to configure your account to accept other currencies too.

The only way to force Guest Checkout (which is what PayPal calls it when somebody uses a credit card from their checkout pages without signing in to a PayPal account) is to use the Express Checkout APIs.
This will allow you to set parameters that provide the Guest Checkout experience in all instances where it's available. Keep in mind that even with this configured correctly, Guest Checkout is simply not available for all buyers in all countries, so you still won't get it for 100% of your customers if you're selling world wide.
Guest Checkout is available in PayPal Standard Payments, too, but it's cookie based, so it's very unreliable. If the browser in use has ever had anybody sign in to a PayPal account then it will assume the current user will be signing in, too, and it will not prominently display the Guest Checkout option. This is what you are able to avoid by using the Express Checkout APIs.
This PayPal PHP SDK will make the Express Checkout calls very quick and easy for you. Specifically, you'll be working with:
SetExpressCheckout
GetExpressCheckoutDetails
DoExpressCheckoutPayment
In your SetExpressCheckout request you'll make sure to include the follow parameters:
SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole
LANDINGPAGE=Billing
USERSELECTEDFUNDINGSOURCE=CreditCard
This will ensure that the user sees the Guest Checkout experience.
Direct processing of Credit Cards is deprecated.
But people can pay without PayPal account - it's called guest payments.
Use the PayPal API and allow the optimal checkout to YES and then customers can pay either through credit card / paypal account.

we are trying to add a pre-approval paypal process to our website before a user can bid on any of our items for sale. We currently accomplished this using Authorize.net but want to now integrate paypal as well.
I have been doing some research and am trying to find out if paypal even offers such a solution. The main reason for adding this verification is of course to make sure an individual actually has the money to purchase the item, some items can range from $100-$100,000. Does paypal offer a pre approval process for those types of transactions?
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/adaptive-payments/Preapproval_API_Operation/
The Preapproval API gives your application permissions to trigger payments on a user's behalf without further approval (no login required to submit payments with a preapproval ID). There is no guarantee funds will be available when you submit this payment. A transaction with a preapproval ID could simply fail like any other transaction.
It sounds like what you're looking is the Authorization and Capture process, which is probably what you're doing with Auth.net, too.
With PayPal you can run Authorizations from credit cards directly (exactly like you do with Auth.net) and you can also do it with Express Checkout, which would be PayPal login payments.
In my PayPal express checkout there's no way for customer to pay whithout PayPal account.
I've seen this post:
PayPal: express checkout pay without account
I've added &SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole&LANDINGPAGE=Billing to the expressChechout call, which is fine but it just opens the tab "New Customer".
Also PayPal Account Optional is On.
I have a PayPal Buisness account.
Is there a solution to this?
Thanks
Even though you pass SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole, LANDINGPAGE=Billing and USERSELECTEDFUNDINGSOURCE=CreditCard in SetExpressCheckout API call, some of your customers will still be forced to open a PayPal account in order to pay with a credit card and they will see the "New Customer" tab.
This is based on customer's country of origin, so you can't do anything about that. In order to pay with a credit card you will need to select a country. When you change the country in the payment form you'll see that some people can just pay with a credit card without a PayPal account, and some will see the "New Customer" tab and being forced to open a PayPal account.
There's a new parameter you need to include to handle this better. Make sure the API version you're setting is 109.0 or higher, and then add USERSELECTEDFUNDINGSOURCE=CreditCard
On my e-commerce website I'm using paypal for checkout. The flow is like this:
Buyer can select one or more products from one or more sellers. When paying I use chained payments. My paypal app account( primary) receives all the money and then I take my fee and send the rest to sellers(one or more). Everything is fine but I need to activate seller protection.
So far I implemented setPaymentsOption, but since I'm the primary receiver I cannot pass the shipping address from buyer to seller(s). I spoked with paypal support and they said that I shoud consider implementing IPN but I'm not sure how to do that.
So for any ideas I will be grateful
im building a site where 2 user groups exist: sellers and buyers. The buyers buy stuff and should pay to the sellers via PayPal.
So, its not a kind of a web shop where users are paying directly to me ( as a website owner/online shop), BUT TO THE OTHER USERS (sellers). So i need to forward a PayPal transaction from one user on my site (buyer) to the other one (seller).
I read some PayPal API Descriptions, but its assumed there that i want to process the PayPal Payments to my PayPal account, what's not my case.
An idea would be that sellers pay to me, and i then pay to buyers, but that's not what i want to do.
So , what I want is: the buyer should process the PayPal payment directly to the seller's PayPal account, and i should then receive the payment confirmation and inform the seller about it.
Does anyone have an idea, expirience or suggestion with this stuff? Thanks in advance!
You have a lot of options for how you can handle that.
One, you could use the Express Checkout API to build the checkout system, and you'd use the Permissions API (optional) so that users can easily grant your application permissions to make API calls on their behalf. Note that users could also do this manually through their PayPal profile until you get the Permissions part integrated.
To get your payments, you could have your users create a preapproval profile using the Preapproval API. This will allow you to submit payments on their behalf automatically at any time. As such, you could use the preapproval key within Pay calls directly in the checkout flow or within IPN (which is what I would recommend) to submit payments to yourself from the user's account.
Another option is to use a parallel payment within Express Checkout. This would handle splitting the payment for you automatically between the seller and yourself, but the buyer would see that split during checkout.
Another option would be to use the Pay API for the checkout which would allow you to create a chained payment. This is the same as a parallel payment except that it hides the split from the buyer, and you could actually delay the payment to secondary receivers if you need to for any reason.
Hope that helps.
if you have a buy now button or similar, use the sellers' email address as below
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="sellers#email.com">
and it will pay the user with that email address. If that's not their paypal address, it will prompt them to either sign up for paypal to receive or add it to a current account.
Then use PHP mail() or your CMS/Admin system to notify you when the successful payment page has been loaded after a referral back from Paypal.
