I have a script which enables the users to pay into my paypal account.
Now I need a script which would pay from my account to theirs... I tried to find it but I'm didn't manage... everywhere there are only pay now/cart buttons etc which allows users to pay me, not opposite.
thanks in advance
A script that automatically pays from your account to someone else's doesn't, will not ever, exist.
What you can use however, is PayPal Adaptive Chained Payments to automatically transfer part of your funds to a secondary receiver.
Is that what you're looking for?
Have a look at the Adaptive Payments SDK's at https://www.x.com/community/ppx/sdks#ADAPI as well

I have an issue right now that is killing me, I have implemented several payment options but never used paypal, I don't know why is it so complicated.
The website already exists and wasn't developed by myself.
I don't know the ammount of the order it is dynamic, so the "create payment buttons" on the paypal website doesn't work for me, at this point i developed a solution using
PayPal developers
But it turns out that i only have the option to pay with a PayPal account or register a PayPal account, I do not want to force customers to do this, it has no sense. is there any relatively easy solution out there using the same PayPal API?
EDIT
The whole site code is in PHP so i need the solution in this language
As you have mentioned that you are aware of one payment method i.e. Express Checkout ( in which user needs to have a valid Paypal account) so the other method which I think you need is the Direct Payment (i.e. a user can pay with credit cards directly without any Paypal account) API.
For this direct payment api you need to enable Website Payment Pro WPP , here you can get info about WPP.
Is it possible to be the middle man for a Paypal transaction without having anything thing to do with the transaction (PayPal account wise)
so the buyer pays directly into the seller's account and my site verify's the purchase (somehow) and emails download link.
How is this done and yes this is a coding question since it involves PayPal API and possible PHP workaround.
Any help would be happily received.
Yes, you should use Paypal adaptive payments to achieve this. Note that you need a PayPal Business account. A related question with answer: Online payments for a middleman
I've puzzled by this question for quite a while, but never had the need for it. Now I do.
What I currently need is a Credit Card payment option for my website that does not rely on services such as Paypal. I want something like Name.com or Hostmonster.com have. You simply enter you credit card number, expiration date and the three little numbers at the back of the card. How can I achieve the same effect on my website?
I'll be programming the website in PHP.
Answers would be appreciated.
You need to signup to a payment gateway. It's a service that allows you to process credit card payments. I know you don't want to use PayPAL to accept payments, but PayPAL offer two solutions:
PayPAL Payments - That is the button and people pay through PayPAL
PayPAL Payments Pro (Payment Gateway). That is when you use PHP or anything else to connect to PayPAL with the credit card information. The customer never knows you used PayPAL, and they never leave your site.
When choosing a payment gateway these are the four most important things you should consider:
How easy is it to implement (PayPAL has a lot of documentation)
How much is the monthly fee.
How much do they charge per transaction.
How much do they charge to setup an account.
There are other options, and one of the most common is Authorize.net, but the is more setting up and a larger deposit to open an account.
Most accounts will require a background and credit check.
Well, you'll still need to rely on a Merchant Services company for card processing. There are many companies that boast an API that can then be accessed with PHP. One that I have recently learned of is Stripe. However, there are many competitors and you can research other companies further, but companies like Stripe will allow you to generate payments programmatically without having to leave your site to visit the black-box that is PayPal.
I have created a successful PayPal IPN script which imports the result into my database but I would like to know if there is any way I can set a custom $receiver_email for the transaction. The problem I run into when doing this is that the IPN is not set up on some accounts.
To put it into context I am creating an auction site where buyers can pay for items and the seller (receiver_email) needs to change to send the payment to them.
If there any way I can get round this problem? If someone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance!
No, this isn't possible. The IPN settings are set at the account level, so it is up to the receiving paypal account to notify their IPN system.
You would be better off (from a technical point of view, IANAL and this isn't advice on legal issues) having buyers all paying into a central clearing account which you then use to separately pay the sellers.
It sounds like you are looking for PayPal Adaptive Payments. A note about this though: one account - probably you as the main application owner - must have a PayPal business account. The other accounts that receive a payment only need a personal account.
PayPal provides an SDK with samples for the Adaptive Payments on Github. Select Adaptive Payments from the menu on the left. There are samples for multiple languages that should be able to get you started.
I have a website where I need to reward users for their involvement by paying money into their paypal account. I have a paypal business account, and would like to know if it is possible to put money into their account automatically from just having their paypal account email address.
I am developing my website using php. Ideally, I would like to have a script on my server that when executed transfers money from my business account into their paypal account.
I am new to paypal, and having looked around I am getting confused as to all of the different APIs that are in use! MassPay keeps coming up but if possible I would rather I didnt have to pay the 2% charge on each payment - is there any other options?
The payments are not for goods or services and so could be classed as a personal transfer, would this eliminate any fees?
So my questions are:
1) Is this possible?
2) Which API is most suitable?
Thanks
Yes, it's possible but you're going to end up paying a transaction fee. I would recommend you do a batch process (that is, do one large payment request scheduled at a certain time of day) through PayPal's Mass Payment API.
You can read more about this API and how to use it here.
The way PayPal stays in business is by collecting these transaction fees. If it didn't collect them, it wouldn't be nearly as successful.
If you're looking at having more options on the transaction, including some ways to try and shift around who pays the fee, you may want to look at Adaptive Payments.
The best way is to generate a paypal button in the following URL:
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_donate-intro-outside
and place it at your page... You'll still have to pay some fee (although it's a low one)
