I want to prepare to the possibility of my account being limited beforehand.   If my account becomes limited, what I need to enable it back?   Do I need bank account, credit card, to send any documents like utility bills?   I am speaking about a nonprofit account. ... View more

I received $600 via PayPal payment (NOT merchant service). I am in Israel.   I was "fined" $26.70 fee when receiving it. Why so much? "The fee for each transaction is $0.30 USD, plus 2.9% of the amount you receive." It is $17.7 not $26.70.   What is wrong? ... View more

The first card on the list is available only to US citizens, I am in Israel and am a dual Russian/Israel citizen. Please recommend another card which can be used to verify PayPal account. If there is a choice, I want the card with lowest fees. I am not going to use this card often anyway, but just to verify PayPal, because using my bank for Internet purchases and bankomats is much less expensive. ... View more

I need to verify my PayPal account. I am in Israel and connected my Israel bank CC credit card to my PayPal account. Everything works well except that when I try to verify my PayPal with my credit card I get the following error:   The information you entered is incorrect If you’d like to use this card as a payment method, please contact us for assistance.   I contacted PayPal a few time, but no reply.   So I knew no way to verify my PayPal account.   Now I've found this Web page. It lists some prepaid credit card. I want to buy one of these cards with the purpose to use it to verify my PayPal account. Which of the cards would you recommend? For example what's about the first card in the list (Applied Bank® Secured Visa® Gold Preferred® Credit Card)? ... View more

What are "line items"?

From https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments/v1/#definition-transaction :   "If the request includes line items, this property is required."   What does the phrase "line items" mean?   I have no idea what are these "line items". (Well, I suspect it is shipping, tax, etc.) ... View more

PayPal Checkout does not protect against sum fraud

by porton Contributor in Managing Risk and Fraud Archives
‎Oct-01-2018 02:59 PM
‎Oct-01-2018 02:59 PM
It is about PayPal Checkout.   When I click "PayPal" payment, I am displayed a window without mention of the payment sum (except of Apply for PayPal Credit what is irrelevant and too unnoticeable). So Somebody may ask me to pay $1000000 spoiling on the page that he wants $1. I do not see that it is $1000000 payment.   Also the payment happens as soon as I click Continue without a payment confirmation, what may lead for the user to authorize the payment unwillingly.   Here is the screenshot:     Here is the HTML code:   <div id="paypal-button-container"></div> <script src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/api/checkout.js"></script> <script> // Render the PayPal button paypal.Button.render({ // Set your environment env: 'sandbox', // sandbox | production // Specify the style of the button style: { layout: 'vertical', // horizontal | vertical size: 'medium', // medium | large | responsive shape: 'rect', // pill | rect color: 'gold' // gold | blue | silver | white | black }, // Specify allowed and disallowed funding sources // // Options: // - paypal.FUNDING.CARD // - paypal.FUNDING.CREDIT // - paypal.FUNDING.ELV funding: { allowed: [ paypal.FUNDING.CARD, paypal.FUNDING.CREDIT ], disallowed: [] }, // PayPal Client IDs - replace with your own // Create a PayPal app: https://developer.paypal.com/developer/applications/create client: { sandbox: 'AZDxjDScFpQtjWTOUtWKbyN_bDt4OgqaF4eYXlewfBP4-8aqX3PiV8e1GWU6liB2CUXlkA59kJXE7M6R', production: '<insert production client id>' }, payment: function (data, actions) { return actions.payment.create({ payment: { transactions: [ { amount: { total: '0.01', currency: 'USD' } } ] } }); }, onAuthorize: function (data, actions) { return actions.payment.execute() .then(function () { window.alert('Payment Complete!'); }); } }, '#paypal-button-container'); </script>   ...

Feature suggestion: Tags

by porton Contributor in My Feedback for PayPal
‎Jun-05-2017 12:59 AM
‎Jun-05-2017 12:59 AM
I suggest the following feature:   Add "tags" parameter (for both HTML Buttons, Express Checkout, etc.) to contain several space (or comma) separated tags.   It is useful (for better statistics of payments) to query only these payments to us which have a certain tag. ... View more

But we want to do it entirely programmatically. The link you suggested us describes at the next step to login into our PayPal account and initiate monthly transaction manually.   We want the monthly payments to be initiated by our software. How to do this? ... View more

How to make non-fixed-amount recurring payments?

We want to make non-fixed-amount recurring payments to our software.   The user either enters the maximum amount he wants to pay or no maximum whatsoever so that the payment amount each month is determined by sole discretion of our software.   Please remind where such features are described in PayPal Developer docs. ...
