Here is the complete situation:
Site running with Express checkout and normal checkout of PayPal
Now if the customer orders with PayPal in a normal way. Means first take login (if not) gives your full information for shipping etc, and then go to PayPal site to pay and complete your order.
Is it possible to do a reference transaction of that order using Payflow Pro (keep in mind I complete the order using PayPal)? Or do we have to use another way?

I'm using the paypal REST API using PHP as backend. And the challenge I have is the pay in 4 and pay monthly options while I want instant full payment for less than 100$.
Is there a way to disable it while calling the API to set the limit higher for pay later?

I am selling digital products (Airtime and internet bundles) so I want instant payment. Your help is appreciated.
Thank you.
Within the PayPal.com checkout, all the funding sources result in the receiver receiving a single payment. All the receiving account will know is that it received a successful PayPal payment. All billing details and information about the funding source used -- be it a card, bank, Pay Later, or any other local funding source -- are not visible to the receiving account, and kept private by design.
Using the JS SDK, it is possible to enable and control the display of the Pay Later button as well as other payment method buttons/messaging on your own site. However, this only affects what is displayed on your own site. It does not change what may or may not be available in the PayPal.com checkout page depending on the country and location of the payer, currency, amount, and intent of the transaction, etc.

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.

I want my PHP web application to have the ability to save the user's PayPal details in their user account.
When they go to purchase items, rather than going through the standard PayPal form, it will automatically grab the user's PayPal details from their user account, and make the payment directly from my website. There is definitely a way to do this, as I have seen this feature on sites such as Freelancer.com
Thanks for the help! :)
No, you don't need Payments Pro for that. That would only be if you want to do it with direct credit cards. What you're after in general is called Reference Transactions, and when done with PayPal Express Checkout it uses Billing Agreements.
You'll use Express Checkout and/or Payments Pro (optional) to process an original authorization or sale transaction. Then, you can send that ID you get back in that original transaction along with a new amount in the DoReferenceTransaction API and that new amount will be instantly processed without any redirection or further authorization required.
This question asked before but didn't got any answer.Maybe things have been changed.
When you click the Express Checkout PayPal button on any webshop, it redirects you to a specific paypal login link, for paying the order.
I have been searching high and low for 3 weeks for a simple paypal php curl script that logs you in from this step, and confirms the payment, but have not been able to find anything.
I found out it is not possible to use the API for this, so its gotta be done by CURL.
I'm asking for this because I run a dropshipping website, and would like to automate certain steps, like placing and paying orders. A working code for this would help not just me, but all looking to automate buying in some form.
Thank's!
You can't log the buyer into PayPal when you redirect them to the site. The buyer has to enter their own account credentials themselves.
If you wanted to bill a buyer without requiring they log into PayPal each time you would need to use billing agreements (reference transactions) through Express Checkout. If you set up a billing agreement with a buyer you can charge a previously successful sale to bill them again for a different amount.
You cannot do what you want with Express Checkout, especially since nobody will ever enter the paypal details on your website (that is the entire point of paypal).
You can use either preapproved payments (buyers preappove payments being taken out of their account up to a certain ceiling), or reference transactions (you reference a new transaction to an older transaction. PayPal will then use the billing details of this earlier transaction to bill the user).
Preapproved payments is part of Adaptive Payments. Documentation is at https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/adaptive-payments/integration-guide/APIntro/
You can find more details about Reference Transactions at https://cms.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_api_ECReferenceTxns
Note: Reference Transactions needs to be enabled on your account. This API call is not open to everyone due to the potential for abuse, so you may want to look into whether you're eligible for it before you start working on a full integation with it.
You can find more info here :https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Merchant-services-Archive/Does-Paypal-have-a-quot-Token-Payments-quot-concept/td-p/325794
Also google "token payments" as that is what you need and most payment gateways usually support them.
I am trying to figure out exactly what payment solution to use for my site.
I would like to do the same thing as Spotify (https://www.spotify.com/us/freetrial/ - You'll need to login to see it), allowing users to choose whether they want to pay with PayPal or use a credit card and then taking them to a payment selection screen (on PayPal), then returning them to my site to click confirm and buy.
I am already paying for recurring payments (even though I've yet to use it) and am unsure if that is applicable here. I have also integrated express checkout but I don't know if it will allow recurring payments.
EDIT: Do I need a separate token for recurring payments? Do I have to use the old recurring payments checkout screen? How can this be done as efficiently as possible, like Spotify? Here are my efforts to create a recurring payments profile after express checkout: http://pastie.org/private/sakzopltnwfv93wwmduqq
Diagram:
Select Buy & PayPal (subscription) --> Choose Payment (on PayPal) --> confirm & pay (my site)
This is what spotify's checkout looks like (It wouldn't say update for first time users):
Are they using recurring payments + express checkout? I would really appreciate some help with this.
Yes, you can get this done with Express Checkout + Recurring Payments. That said, if the person chooses credit card when setting up a recurring payment they will have to create a PayPal account. If they're paying a non-recurring checkout then they could use the credit card option without creating a PayPal account.
You mentioned that you're already paying for recurring payments..?? Are you referring to Payments Pro? If so, you don't need to pay for that to use EC + RP. Pro is only necessary if you want to process credit cards directly on your site without ever redirecting to PayPal. This can sometimes make things seem a little more professional and would also give you the ability to let people setup recurring payments without creating a PayPal account when using a credit card.
When using EC you just need to make sure to include the billing agreement parameters in order to get a token back that will work within CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile. Refer to the SetExpressCheckout API reference for more details on that.
This is kind of old now, but is still useful. Take a look at this sample express checkout set of api calls. You'll notice it uses the same token throughout all of the calls.
Just like Spotify -you would need to build that option on your site. If the user chooses to subscribe with a credit card - use the recurring payments w/ direct credit card (see below). If the user chooses to subscribe with a PayPal account - use the recurring payments w/ PayPal Account (this is what Andrew is suggesting above in his response).
Here are the how-to guides:
For direct credit card subscriptions: https://www.x.com/developers/paypal/documentation-tools/paypal-payments-pro/how-set-recurring-payments-profile-using-direct-payment
For PayPal Account subscriptions: https://www.x.com/developers/paypal/documentation-tools/express-checkout/how-to/ht_ec-recurringPaymentProfile-curl-etc
The APIs would allow you to do things like trial periods, setup fee, etc. For example here is a how to on building a freemium kind of model: https://www.x.com/developers/paypal/documentation-tools/express-checkout/how-to/ht_ec-freeTrialRecurringPayments-curl-etc
