I just bought a script with the Masspay API needed to make an authorized payment at a specific time the "deal" ends.
With that said I am unclear why mass pay would need to be enabled for this feature.
If someone could please explain what Masspay is? And I have been reading that masspay is no longer availabe and I would have to contact paypal directly? Is this true for the sandbox accounts also?
If anyone has any information on this subject I am more than thankful.
Thanks.
If I understand your correctly,
Mass Payment is used for sending money.
If you are the merchant with record (you ship items and charge customers), then PayPal Express Checkout is what you want. You can DoAuthorization to hold the fund before you ship the item, and then DoCapture to collect payment after you shipped.
In you are part of the service provider, say you and another merchant both provide the service and own the payment from customer, then Adaptive Payment is what you need. You need call Pay after you shipped.
In simple terms Masspay allows you to make multiple payments to multiple people in a single shot using xls or csv files.
No, paypal is not sun-setting Masspay. This feature is still available and will be supported by Paypal.

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.
I would like to make an API call to Big Commerce backend to complete a purchase on a customer's behalf. Based on the API reference:
https://developer.bigcommerce.com/api/stores/v2/orders#create-an-order
By default, I believe that one can only create an order that not yet paid by the customer. Please correct me if I am wrong.
So, my question is - How do you make a payment on behalf of a customer for the order? It is safe to assume that we have a tokenized credit card of our known customer in a payment gateway like Stripe.
My guess of how it could be done is when an order is created, I can set up a webhook to call the payment gateway to make a charge on the customer's credit card. Is this correct? Are there anything that I should watch out for?
Currently, you cannot use the BigCommerce API to process a payment or full transaction. We only allow payments through the control panel where you can enter credit card details or on the storefront made by the customer. If you'd like to make use of tokenization or recurring payments, it is better to use Rebillia or Recharge (apps).
As you stated, you would need to make a call to Stripe's API to charge the card on file with the customer's token. This should be fine. It won't make any calls back to BigCommerce, so I'd be mindful of error handling (such as if the card has expired) and how you'd retry or mark the order in BigCommerce. Depending on how it was configured, you would want to check order details to ensure you were only processing payments from API created orders.
I'm not sure of what PCI implications might be for the storage of the Stripe tokens. That would be another point for consideration.
I have a situation where I am to bill the site users monthly. But the invoice amount that is raised depends on the the leads that our site generates for his business. For example if the user gets 5 leads from my site and I charge him $10 per lead, at the end of month he will be charged $50. similarly leads might vary each month so will the amount.
Now I cant store his cc/ paypal credentials on my site for security reasons nor can I pre bill him or ask him to take credits and then use it. Please let me know the way to handle this situation. How can I handle this using paypal?
There are a few different ways to handle this, but I would recommend Preapproved Payments, which are part of the Adaptive Payments API.
With this method your users would create a profile with you (using the Preapproval API) when they first create their account on your site. That will give you a preapproval key that you can store with your user account. Then in the future when you need to bill them you can use the Pay API with the preapproval key to process funds immediately without further approval.
If you're working with PHP my class library for PayPal will make these calls very simple for you. You would just use the Preapproval.php template to setup the profiles for people, and then use PayWithOptions.php to process payments using the preapproval key(s) accordingly.
If you end up using it and need more help you can contact me directly for support.
Any problem in use MassPay to pay 1 user payment? Any disavantage about that? What should i use instead mass pay for single payments?
I see that paypal forum is dead so im aking here.
MassPay is fine. If you're already using Adaptive Payments, you could also use Implicit Payments. But if you're not, MassPay suits just fine.
MassPay works fine with single or multiple payments. It makes payment more flexible.
In simple terms Masspay allows you to make multiple payments to multiple people in a single shot using xls or csv files.
If you are just paying a single user:
PayPal provides various payment related operations using the /payment resource and related sub-resources. Use /payment for direct credit card payments and PayPal account payments.
URI: https://api.paypal.com/v1/payments/payment
Create a payment: POST /v1/payments/payment
For more information, refer:
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/api/#create-a-payment
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,

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
