I am sending payment to user of my application but want to validate that Is Paypal account is exist on this email or not?
The only way to know if there is a PayPal account attached to an email address prior to a payment is to use Connect with PayPal to have the user log in with their account, and validate the response.
Otherwise, if you send a payment to an email address that has no account, they will receive a notification that there is money waiting and it will be auto-refunded after 30 days (with a reminder) if they do not claim it by creating an account or adding that email to an existing account.

I'd like to know if there's a way to use the Coinbase API create a new Coinbase account for someone who doesn't have a Coinbase account and possibly even deposit some Bitcoin/Ethereum for them in it?
I've seen the API docs on Authentication but it seems like accessing one's own account or letting existing Coinbase access a 3rd party app.
The closest thing I can think of is to simply send the gift crypto currency to an email address.
https://developers.coinbase.com/api/v2#send-money
If the email address already has a coinbase account associated with it the account will simply be credited. If the email does not have a coinbase account they can easily sign up to claim the gift just by entering the password they want for their account. The account will be created using the email the gift was sent to and the password they chose after clicking the link in the email.
Im using PayPal iOS SDK, after launching the PayPal Payment Screen. User will enter the PayPal email Id and Password. after successful payment Im getting some response from through PayPal delegate methods but I that response Im unable to collect the email Id (PayPal Id) that I have used to login.
Thank You.
No, You can not get user's email address. Paypal can not provide you
the personal credentials of any users. It can only provide you the
order details.
I use the Paypal REST API to do single payout (https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/#payouts). As receiver, I give an email address. All works as expected if I give an email corresponding to an existing Paypal sandbox account.
When I give an email that is not registered among my testing sandbox accounts, I would have expected than the receiver targeted by the payout would receive an email and be invited to create his Paypal account to claim his payout.
However, I got a "RECEIVER_UNREGISTERED: Receiver is unregistered (https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/api/#RECEIVER_UNREGISTERED)."
To give an email as receiver linked to an existing Paypal is it really mandatory ? If yes, what is your app workflow to send a Paypal Payout to unregistered Paypal users ?
Thanks !
When you do a payout to an non-registered email, the status of the payout become "Unclaimed".
If the user is registered on PayPal, you will normally get a "Success" transaction status.
The error messages only have an informative purpose :
"errors":{
"name":"RECEIVER_UNREGISTERED",
"message":"Receiver is unregistered",
"information_link":"https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments.payouts-batch/#errors",
"details":{}
},
The Sandbox is an isolated environnement and emails from the sandbox environnement are not sent to the end-users. That's why your payout receiver are not receiving any email asking to create a Paypal account. Same scenario if you send money to a phone number instead of an email address.
Receivers have 30 days to claim their money. After 30 days, the money is refunded to the payee.
You can read more about the status on the Payout API documentation.
We have implemented PayPal Website Payments pro. Everything seems to work like a charm.
But, my merchant ain't receiving the emails from Paypal when the user purchases the item using their CreditCard. But, when purchased with their PayPal account, the emails are coming through fine.
Is this the normal behavior? Or, is there something that I need to fix in my settings ?
The seller account should get the normal email notification that they've received a PayPal payment, but no email would be sent to the buyer. This is intentional because buyers who specifically request CC instead of PayPal might be upset if they start getting PayPal notifications.
When using Payments Pro it's generally left up to you to create and send your own email receipts/notifications.
That said, you mentioned here that it's your merchant account that's not receiving anything, which would typically be referring to the seller account. If that's what's happening then I'd recommend calling PayPal support or submitting a ticket at www.paypal.com/mts and let them know what's going on.
