Is this possible without having to send a Square invoice? According to the recurring payments feature FAQ, processing recurring payments is not possible yet. I'm not sure this is out of date as there is API documentation for processing recurring payments.
If it is possible, is there a way to define that an order is recurring and what the dates/frequency in the Checkout API? Or is it expected to call the charge API with the card on file each subscription billing period?
The latter, call the API whenever you want to make a charge. Thanks for the heads up about the old FAQ! Also check out the blog post on using PHP for recurring charges: https://medium.com/square-corner-blog/recurring-charges-with-php-and-card-on-file-60f2bcb9aeac

We are working on one website solution for which we require to implement future and/or split payment using the Braintree payment gateway. Is it any possible solution for the same? How can it be implemented?
We also tried to create sub-merchant for splitting a payment but we are getting the following error.
"Master merchant account ID is invalid.".
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Braintree does not offer a marketplace/split-payment function. You would only be able to apply for/use Braintree Direct and any funds would go directly to your bank account. There is no ability to have sub-merchants.
Similarly, PayPal has deprecated their original split-payment/pay-forwarding solution.
I suggest you go with PayPal Marketplace.
PayPal Marketplace is an entirely separate solution and you would need to speak with the PayPal team for specific details.
I am developing a website that offers car-washings in all places publicly available through geolocation. However, due to weather instability, bookings can be cancelled at any time; instead of issuing expensive refunds, I would like to charge customers only once the washing has been performed.
I would like to accept Paypal payments and was suggested to use Braintree. Do you know if it is possible to delay charges with Braintree APIs on Paypal accounts?
I use Laravel 5.1.
Thank you
I would recommend using PayPal Preapproval profiles, specifically the Preapproval API to setup the profile, and then you would use the Pay API to process payments using the preapproval key for a given customer.
This PayPal PHP SDK makes all of those API calls very quick and easy, and it's available on Packagist so you can load it up in your composer.json for Laravel and be running in no time.
It has samples and empty templates for you to work with to make the Preapproval and Pay calls.
I would like to accept payments in Bitcoin through Coinbase but I would like the charge to happen only after a certain period of time. In fact, the website I manage offers car-washings that, due to weather, can be cancelled at any time; instead of issuing expensive refunds, I have opted for charging customers only once the washing has been performed.
The website is built upon Laravel 5.1 and for Bitcoin payments I would like to use Coinbase as its APIs are very well documented.
Do you know if it is possible to delay payments with Coinbase PHP APIs?
Thank you
There is no direct support for this unfortunately, though it's not hard to issue refunds via the API for orders not completed.
I'm working on a Magento marketplace where the client would like to use paypal delayed chain as payment method. Here Client will hold the vendors payment for 15 days and then execute payments. The scenario is Client don't want to hold payments for highly credible vendors. He wants to pay them right away. But in delayed chain, we can't execute payments based on vendors. When the time comes to pay vendors, all vendors will be paid at once based on transaction id or pay-key which used to create payment.
I need to implement this scenario in Magento. Does anyone have solution on this potential issue?
After digging deep about this issue, I found that paypal doesn't support what I asked from their API or the API is still isn't matured to accommodate the need. So we went with another solution to overcome this problem. Solution is not efficient but it's the only working solution as of now.
We have to go with checkout by vendor, so that we can execute payment based on vendor since each order is associated with a vendor.
I want to use any payment gateway which can accept recurring profile payment from a magento store in INR. Please do not suggest paypal as it won't work in our case.
My requirements are clear:
I just want to confirm the transaction for a product which has recurring profile. So the payment gateway should accept the parameters for a recurring payment.
I do NOT want recurring payments(deductions from the account each month)
Right now, I have integrated EBS payment gateway successfully into my store and made modifications into it so that the payment method shows up during checkout. However, after I click place order, the purchase is successful and the user is not redirected to EBS (just for the products with recurring profile).
Please reply. Even a minor help could be much fruitful for me. Many thanks viewers
Apparently there is no solution to this issue. I had to find a workaround of using offline payment methods for recurring profile products and online payment for other products.
