I need paypal where people can buy virtual coins on my website through it. Example they go to payal to buy 10 coins for 10 dollars and use those coins on my website. I don't know where to look so I can find tutorials on the subject to get a general idea on how this works. I looked on google but I'm not searching correctly anyone help me out?
 
Not sure, but I have seen setups like that. Try searching under tokens instead of coins. Not sure the change in terminology will work, but I know it's out there.
 
You meant PayPal API? Google for 'paypal api documentation'. There a lot of info about that like https://developer.paypal.com/docs/

I'll look that up later tonight I think you are on to something. I know paypal has a fake example accounts you can try out while programming. I hope I get this right.
 
For that I guess you have to hire a website developer. Who will set up everything according to what you desire.
It isn't something you can learn here.
There are some social wordpress themes that can help you do that though but i don't know how to find them.
but hiring a website developer is the best choice, he will set up the conversion according to Paypal amount.
 
I'd rather pay someone to set this up. If anyone is out there that know how to do this.

I'm actually a programmer myself but when it comes to this I would need to know how it works before I could possibly set it up.

First off post in the hire a freelancer section and then maybe "someone" who can help you will lol

Would like to know the details i think there are better ways but maybe not, depends on what is actually the end goal

Technically this is subverting the PayPal TOS and risks your account, and exposes you to unneeded risk as well

Why not use the docs?

It will give you little headache but it is not that hard at all.
If you are using php then you need cURL
if c# needs basic api calls
if java same - basic GET / POST / Redirection handling

Search for Paypal IPN or

you can create own api from PayPal notification - you just need 1-2 watcher script running for you! in aVM



Thanks!
