I am trying to figure out how I can use Paypal to process payments in a booking system I am building. I think Paypal has a very messy documentation, and I can't seem to get a good overview over what to do. Firstly, I'm from Norway, and it seems Paypal has some restrictions when it comes to what kind of solution I can choose. These two are the ones that seem in the right corner:
Website Payments Standard
Express Checkout
What I generally wants is to send the user to paypal. If the payment is confirmed, the user should be sent to a confirmation page. As I understand it, that won't be a problem. But how can my system know that the payment is okay? Is there any id being sent back and forth? The system needs to save some information about the payment in the database.
What solution should I choose?
And how can I associate the payment with the current booking?
Paypal sends response "Verified" for successful payments when you use ipn_url, using this response you can check if the payment is ok or not.

For Codeigniter you can use paypal library: this might be of help:

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've been working on a secure shopping cart and checkout for a website. I'm using PayPal, and I'd read that PCI requirements aren't as much of an issue if we don't store card data on our site, so if possible I'd like to avoid that.
HTML buttons seemed like a promising option, but upon further investigation, it seems like maintaining control of active user sessions may not be possible. Below are my sources that seem to confirm this.
PayPal button return url usage
delete session variables when session id is known but not able to start session
PayPal payments pro is mentioned in the second post, but I'm wondering if it or anything else meets my 2 design constraints as they're implications for the implementation don't seem to gel very well.
If they are losing session data when returned from PayPal with a standard button then they have something else going wrong. That should not be happening.
That said, if you're comfortable working with APIs I always recommend Express Checkout and Payments Pro.
If you prefer REST APIs you can use that for PayPal payments and direct credit card payments.
If you prefer NVP / SOAP you can use the Classic API.
In any case, keeping session data alive won't be an issue, and as you mentioned, as long as you aren't storing any credit card data on your server in log files, in the database, or anywhere then you won't have to worry about PCI compliance.
I'm using marketplace extension from magentoconnect in my store. This extension is really good and works exactly what i needed it to do but there is 1 particular requirement I need which it doesn't provide.
For vendors, I want payments of each product sale to go directly to vendor's account ( through their credit card etc which they need to add before their product becomes visible ) and commission amount ( some percentage which is set by marketplace through admin panel ) to go to site owner's account. I know there is paypal adaptive payment add-on available with this extension but I don't want to use paypal due to some reasons.
I have tried to create my own module which will gather vendor's payment method after their login and will verify it if their credentials are working or not. But i'm confused as to which approach should i use to get their order payment to go directly in vendor's account and commission in site owner's account right away.
Also, i want to use authorize.net to charge clients as stripe does not support a lot of countries.
Any help in right direction is very much appreciated. I need a solution as to how i can implement it. I can customize or create my own module if needed be for this particular case, but i need to know which is a better approach or what will be close to magento way of doing stuff.
Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks In Advance

Hi Regarding Paypal adaptive payment this thread will help https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/About-Payments/Adaptive-Payments-for-Magento-marketplace/td-p/968101
as authorize.net does not provide marketplace api like stripe or paypal provides so it wouldnt be possible in this way .
PS - we are not self promoting our plugin or product , as user asked the questions specifically about our product that why i have added extension link with images and screenshot
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.
