Xero Contact Credit Limits in API - xero-api

Xero has finally released a "Credit Limit" facility for Customer accounts.
We are using the https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Contacts endpoint to receive Customer balances.
But, there is no sign yet of the "Credit Limit" being added to this.
If it is going to be added to this endpoint, when will it be available. If it is already in another endpoint, then please can anyone point me to the right one?

The best way to get attention on something like this is to raise a user voice: https://xero.uservoice.com/

PayPal API to withdraw funds from PayPal to Bank account (Transfer funds from PayPal to Bank account)

Please note: This is a generic question and not something specific to only Indian PayPal  accounts. Looking for an API that does this.
I am looking for an API (preferably NVP API) which allows to transfer money to Bank account, which is ultimately withdrawing money from PayPal to Bank account.
Please direct me to the documentation if there exists an API for the same.
I am aware of the fact, that for Indian Business PayPal accounts, the auto-withdraw feature is enabled and the withdrawals are done automatically everyday.
I am a developer and few of our PayPal clients are looking for such a feature. One of them is from Israel.
P.S. This is a generic question and not something specific to only Indian PayPal accounts. This is not a country specific PayPal query.
Looking for an API that does this.
Please help me with this.
Awaiting a reply soon.
There is no API for this, and there also is no reason for such an API to exist.
Withdrawing money is done automatically everyday, as you mention, or it is done manually in https://www.paypal.com (try the https://www.paypal.com/wdfunds shortcut )
There is no need for any API.

Check paypal donation thought API access

Reading almost the whole API reference of paypal, i am almost sure that they do not provide any kind of API method regarding donations. However i would like to check whether someone donates something to my paypal account and get some details of this transaction.
I thought of using the Activities Search REST API, however it was responding with -> "No permission for the requested operation" while i was testing it with my sandbox business account.
Anyone got any idea of how to claim this details? Do i missing something?
My last thought, was to use gmail API's to read the incoming emails that i am receiving (from paypal) when i got a donation, however i believe it's not a good solution, so its my last choice.

PayPal. Charge a security deposit

I was wondering If I could charge a "security deposit" using PayPal ?
On my site, user can pay for an item (service). But I have no idea, how to charge a security deposit, because it is NOT guaranteed that user will pay using his PayPal account - That way I could simply use MassPay API to refund the deposit back to the user (payer_email).
But, PayPal allows to pay even without creating an account. Although, user has to specify his email address, I'm not sure that sending back money to this email address would put the money on related credit/debit card.
Is there some API for doing this ? Because charging price for the item + security deposit doesn't feel right for me.
I know that, for example, airbnb.com has some similair functionality for that one, but I don't know how it works
I would be very grateful if someone helped me with that one.
Thank you!
It sounds like your primary issue is that users can checkout without a PayPal account. If that's the case, this can easily be solved by disabling the "PayPal Account Optional" feature in your PayPal profile under Website Payment Preferences. This will causes users to either sign in to PayPal or create an account to pay.
If you'd rather leave that option enabled there are plenty of ways to handle security deposits and returning money, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. I won't get into all those details yet, though, if simply disabling that option solves your issue.
Let me know if you want more info on the other options.

How do I get gateway Authcode from Shopify?

Shopify receives and stores information received from the gateway after a payment is made. It can be viewed in the orders page right at the bottom under Order History section. The words "customer successfully paid..." is a hyperlink. That information contains the authcode apart from some other credit card information. I just want the authcode. The webhook does not send this information in the xml data. Can you retrieve this through the API or is this not allowed? Thanks
Any gateway-specific info is provided through the receipt parameter on the Transactions API. If the token you're looking for isn't there, it's not available.
Thanks for your assistance. Apparently Shopify won't provide that information due to PCI compliance reasons. The payment provider that does the credit card processing will only send one response to Shopify and I was hoping I could get them to send me a response as well but that was wishful thinking on my part. The finance team will just have to log into Shopify and see that information if they need it.

Paypal for a buy/sell website

So I'm working on this website where users post their items, other users add some items to their cart and purchase them online.
The flow i was thinking about goes like this:
A merchant posts an item along with their credit cart/ paypal information.
A buyer adds items (from different merchants) to his/her shopping cart and purchases.
The buyer pays by filling a form that includes the payment method fields within the website's layout (no redirection to paypal).
The website will work as a gateway, it will capture the payments from the buyers and pays the merchants accordingly and automatically.
Is this possible using PayPal? if so, what API should I use?
Any input/idea is appreciated...
Thanks,
/t
I have also investigated using PayPal in this way for a site with a similar concept. Unfortunately, PayPal does not allow this. This makes you something known as a Third Party Payment Aggregator which drastically increases the risk associated with providing you a Merchant Account (which is what PayPal is doing). You can read more here.
Though, you could probably do it for a while before PayPal caught on, they could cancel at anytime leaving you high and dry. I recommend investigating Third Party Payment Aggregator solutions (Braintree has something that helps with this).
I guess it is. Use Paypal API
