I was wonder if it's possible to use PayPal mobile checkout directly in my wp7 app, as in-app payment gateway.
My concern it’s Microsoft marketplace application policy 2.1:
“Your application must be fully functional when acquired from Windows
Phone Marketplace (except for additional data as permitted below).
Unless you have a pre-existing billing relationship with the user,
your application may not require the user to provide payment
information,within the application experience, to activate, unlock, or
extend usage of the application. “
Does this means I’m not allowed to use PayPal to make in-app purchasing?
Thank you,
Alex
I think this policy only applies to your app. If you want to use PayPal
to activate, unlock, or extend usage of the application
than it's not allowed. If you want to do other things which require PayPal the policy allows you to do so.
The marketplace requirement menas that you must have that "pre-existing billing relationship with the user". It doesn't put any restriction on how you bill your users. You could, therefore use PayPal or any ither method available to you.
This requirement is partly to enforce the prevention of apps which have no functionality when downloaded from the marketplace, without paying for the content.
I would suggest contacting app hub support to further discuss your specific requirements if you need to or to confirm the exact meaning around what qualifies as a "pre-existing billing relationship".
You can use Paypal. If you study the clause carefully, it states "Unless you have a pre-existing billing relationship with the user, your application may not require the user to provide payment information,within the application experience, to activate, unlock, or extend usage of the application."
f you do not have a pre-existing billing relationship with new users, all they need to do is to complete the payment information outside the app, for example get redirected to an external browser (Paypal) to input their details.
Hope this helps.

I have payoneer account and i'd like to receive payments from app into this account.
Payments are not for physical goods. They are more like app content-unblockers.
Let's focus on Android and Google Play distribution case.
I suppose, payoneer is not designed for processing quick small payments, right?
I need these:
App should be able to set price according to misc factors.
Payments should be instant without credit card entering - i guess it called "Payments from Google Wallet". E.g. if i (app user) have google account and i have payment method in Google Play, then i do not need to enter my credit card number again.
Payments should be possible independently of user location (country)
So, can I use, say, Braintree to process payments with those requirements?
Will it violate any kind of Google Play policies (the fact, that i'm processing payments not through Google)?
The same questions about iOS
For Android : You can use third party payment seamless/non-seamless as long as their sdk supports Android platform. Google doesn't stop you from choosing any payment service.
For iOS : : It's million dollar question. Always refer to latest app store review guidelines https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#purchasing-currencies
You can use third party payment gateway in iOS if you are selling physical goods/services outside of the app. For any in-app purchases you must use IAP.
For any in-app purchases if you use other purhasing mechanisms your app will be rejected.
Refer to section 3.1.1
If you want to unlock features or functionality within your app, (by way of example: subscriptions, in-game currencies, game levels, access to premium content, or unlocking a full version), you must use in-app purchase. Apps may not include buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms other than IAP.
I am new to e-commerce development. In my marketplace application, I have three parties involved: Me, customer(end user) and vendor. The customer pays to me for a service to be done by vendor and when the vendor completes the service, I have to transfer the payment to them. So essentially the business logic is:
Customer pays to me through paypal/credit card/apple pay etc.
I ask the vendor to serve the customer.
When customer confirms the service, I pay the vendor's share.
Customer may also ask for a cancellation.
So, I thought to use braintree to collect the payment from customer, but I am not sure how to transfer the vendor's share automatically on a certain day of week? So for example, suppose on every Monday, I want my system to go through the completed services and transfer the vendor's share. Assuming each vendor has got a paypal account, can I do it through paypal? Is there a way to transfer the vendor's share from backend without asking me for the credentials or any conformation?
Thanks in advance.
Yes you can do this programmatically through REST APIs. You can do this by using PayPal's Mass Payment system. It's called Payouts when you are using REST APIs. I'm not sure if there is a Magento extension for it. You do have to be approved for it. Just go to your REST Applications and enable Payouts.
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
We are upgrading our SagePay protocol from v2.23 to 3.0 to support surcharge fees. In v3.0 transaction registration post there are CreateToken and StoreToken which was not in the earlier version. What is the reason for create and store tokens? I went through the document but couldn't find a clue.
The link provided in the above post links to advice by one of our Sage Pay Partners so take a look at it.
Token allows shoppers the option of storing their card details (as a token) to their account on the payment page during their first purchase instead of having to set it up manually afterwards. Single click purchases for repeat customers will become much simpler and quicker to set up.
To view the Token Guide go to here, scroll to the bottom of the screen and select the Download the Documents option within your preferred method of integration (server, server inframe, direct). Within the guide it explains creating and storing a token.
If this is a service you would like enabled on your Sage Pay account our New Business team are available 0900-1800 on 0845 111 4466. Prices for Token are available via here. If you have any other questions, our 24/7 Support team can assist to on 0845 111 4455.

I believe this is related to their token system, allowing you to store and send card details as a token.
If you don't use their token system you don't need to worry about it.
Sage Pay have destroyed their content recently so it's hard to find anything, here's a quick article on their token system - http://www.metakinetic.com/blog/2013/09/sage-pays-token-system-and-advancements-in-payment-gateways/
I am planning to list a Gmail Contextual Gadget on Google Apps Marketplace. More than a year ago I created a vendor profile and a listing (so I am familiar with those steps), but I never made the gadget commercial. Now I'm ready for setting up the gadget for sale but I am wondering about the billing is implemented. As I've read in the Marketplace billing documentation, Google does not provide any solution for this, but recommends that I implement it myself or use a third-party billing product.
So my questions are:
- Which are the basic steps to create a billing solution for your listing?
- Is there any way keep the payment "manual", in that sense that I enable the product for installation manually (with a token etc) for a customer when the payment is received?
- How long time do I have to estimate for this?
Really appreciate an answer!
You need to use the Licensing api
