Has anyone been able to successfully get a venmo user's username when getting an order from the PayPal REST API? We're getting a response with some of the user's information, but the user_name property (docs) doesn't appear to be included. Has anyone tried this before or have any tips for thing we can try to do to get passed this? I would expect the user_name Industrial Adheisve Manufacturer property to have a value as described in the documentation for the API. I've tried looking through the response to see if the data is stored somewhere else in the object, but I've had no luck. ... View more

I want to allow a buyer to initiate a dispute in a marketplace but didn't find an API for it. Is it possible to initiate a dispute using PayPal's API? If not, it means that I have to tell my customer to go to the PayPal resolution center and initiate a dispute? Isn't there a way to do that from my application? I've tried to find it in the documentation. ... View more

I am currently trying to set up a system on my website where a current subscriber can either upgrade or downgrade their subscription. As per PayPal Documentation: Subscriptions using PayPal require the user to login and re-consent to the change using the approve HATEOS URL returned in the response. If re-consent is not done or if it fails, the subscription continues to be billed on the existing plan. Subscriptions using direct card payment do not need re-consent. According to this if a subscriber used their credit card/debit card as a guest, I do not need their re-consent to upgrade/downgrade the subscription. I can use the REST API to handle everything. If they paid using the paypal account, they have to consent to the changes first. Question: When my customer goes to their billing page how can I tell if they had subscribed as a guest or if they logged in to their paypal account so I will know if I have to show paypal buttons on the site (for paypal logged members), or if I can just send the subscription revise api to handle the upgrade/downgrade (for guest subscribers)? I did find this in my search: You can tell if a customer subscribed as a guest or logged into their PayPal account to pay for the subscription by checking the transaction details. If the customer subscribed as a guest, the transaction details will show that the payment was made by “PayPal Guest Checkout” or “PayPal Guest Payment.” If the customer logged into their PayPal account, the transaction details will show that the payment was made by their PayPal account name I have looked in the PayPal Docs and found this REST API for subscriptions to get the subscription details: List transactions for subscription. But the payload in which it returns does not show anything about PayPal Guest Checkout or PayPal Guest Payment. The payload has an array for Transactions which contains: status, id, amount with breakdown, payer name, payer email and time of the transaction. I have also looked at the Show subscription details from the PayPal Docs and there is nothing in the return payload that i can discern if the subscriber paid as a guest or logged into paypal to pay for the subscription. ...

I have a working integration with PayPal Rest API but I can't figure out how to get information about manual transfer (a user logs into PayPal and sends money to my PayPal E-mail). It seems this does not trigger the usual Payment.Capture.Completed webhooks, makes sense as I do not actively capture them but I can't find any other webhook event for this case. In sandbox noon I activated the webhook wildcard "all events" but a manual transfer did not trigger anything. Google did not help me either, I guess I am missing the right keywords. Did I miss something? What is the desired way to retrieve this information? ... View more

I want to implement a flow for transactions. A buyer sends a payment to a seller but the seller will not receive the money until my server will approve it's ok and the buyer has received what they paid for. Is it possible to do that using PayPal API crakscut? If not, are there any alternatives? I've read the PayPal documentation and didn't find something about it. Wondering if there are any other options using PayPal or other companies. ... View more

I have googled and can't seem to find an answer to my question. On my site https://apkbark.com/, It has a 'members' area. I offer three different types of subscriptions, monthly, every 6 months and yearly. I have set up three different subscription plans. One for each subscription type. My Question: Can I use only a single product for all three subscription plans? Since the product is access to the 'members' area? ... View more

There are subscription created in Paypal, several years ago, which are paid monthly. I configured a webhook (PAYMENT.SALE.COMPLETED) to receive notifications of these payments, and so far I have not received any notification, although payments have already occurred after the configuration. There is any Paypal limitation to receive webhooks related with previous subscriptions? I'm able to receive notifications for Single Payments, with the same webhook Also, I checked on Paypal Backoffice and there is no error trying to send the notification ... View more

I am trying to enable only paypal 'paylater' button and nothing else. I am using this code:   I also want to get (in case of payin3 option the breakdowns of total amount) amounts in an array so that I could perform some action on that. <script src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=xxxxxxxx&currency=GBP&components=buttons,messages&buyer-country=GB&enable-funding=paylater&disable-funding=card"></script> <div data-pp-message data-pp-style-layout="text" data-pp-style-logo-type="inline" data-pp-style-text-color="black" data-pp-amount="170"></div> <div id="paypal-button-container"></div> paypal.Buttons({ createOrder: function(data, actions) { return actions.order.create({ purchase_units: [{ amount: { value: '170' } }] }); }, }).render('#paypal-button-container');   ...

I am using PayPal PLUS (REST/PHP SDK) and want to switch to PayPal Checkout. Now I had a look at Payum and Omnipay. Would like to use one of them, perhaps Payum. But, express-checkout is not the same as Checkout? https://github.com/Payum/Payum/blob/master/docs/paypal/express-checkout/get-it-started.mdl != https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/ ...
