PayPal is offering a new open source toolkit for Google App Engine that lets you integrate Java apps running on App Engine with the new PayPal Adaptive Payments API. The Adaptive Payments API lets developers embed payments into their apps, services, and platforms.
Here is a link to the google appengine blog: paypal-introduces-paypal-x-platform
There will be a Python version of the toolkit coming out soon, PayPal says.

As i get to know that GAE has lot of limitations.
Please suggest me for the structure design of an Enterprise project with

Google APIs does not require your application to be running on Google App Engine unless of course you’re trying to use an App Engine specific API like this.
If you’re seeking suggestions on how to structure your project using Google App Engine, you may want to do so in official App Engine Google Group as such questions can be considered too broad on stackoverflow.
I have just started looking into using Google App Engine for a project I'm developing. The project will have an Android and iPhone app as well as a web application that a set of users can log into. I have a couple basic questions concerning the use of Google App Engine...
Is it possible to use google app engine in conjunction with your own web app? Or would I post the web app itself on Google App Engine? Is it that I'd use my web app AND Google App Engine, or would those be the same thing? I guess this is the main point I'm not clear on.
I'm kind of concerned about putting all of our data on Google's servers and not directly owned by myself. Is this just something I'll have to get over?
Thanks for any help!
Edit: The web app will need to have a decent amount of functionality in addition to the mobile apps. Is the Google App Engine mostly for projects which only/mainly have mobile apps?
Google App Engine includes Google Cloud Endpoints for Android, iOS and web clients. The client web app can be hosted on AppEngine or elsewhere. If you host the client web app in the same application that hosts the Cloud Endpoints, authentication and data sharing is easier to achieve.
Yes, you'll just have to get over putting all of your data on Google's servers. Google does not publish or index your data, except for the data your app itself publishes to anonymous clients.
I just learned about Google App Engine, and I must say it is fantastic.
But, based on the nature of Google app engine, is it possible to design an e-commerce website using Google App Engine? I mean, based on the huge cloud server platform provided by Google App Engine, we have a built-in content delivery network. But, should it be that way?
is it possible to design an e-commerce website using Google App Engine?
If you want to develop such a website then why not go for more portable alternative? For example, develop your e-commerce website on web2py or django. Both can be hosted on GAE (in case of web2py it just needs minor modifications). GAE imposes a lot of restrictions, but you can stop worrying about system administration and scaling as GAE takes care of it.
If you want to focus on developing an e-commerce website rather than on learning development specifically for GAE then I suggest you use web2py, because porting is very easy.

I have tested it myself, you can check it if you like: http://memstats-w2py.appspot.com/

What is the difference between google apps and google app engine?
Google Apps is a Web-based hosted software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution (gmail / docs / talk / site / calendar on your own domain).
Google App Engine is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solution. It is something like EC2, but with only specific (Python, Java, PHP and Go) runtime environments available.
Google apps offers google web applications (gmail, docs, calendars, etc)
Google app engine is a service to host your own web applications
See this post on the webapps SE site describing the difference between the services.
In simple words:
With google apps you can get a set of work application such as Google Drive, Gmail, Calendar...
With google app engine (GAE) you can create applications servers with little effort. There are others similar PaaS, heroku is one of the most famous.
Google Apps is a suite of services for businesses and organizations. It includes: GMAIL, Google Drive, Calendar, Docs etc. Many of these applications are available separately with a standard Google Account.
Google App Engine is PaaS (Platform as a Service) solution. Google App Engine is a way to write your own Web applications and have them hosted on Google servers. Google App Engine customers are programmers who want a scalable platform for their Internet applications.
Google App Engine is same as hosting, Google Apps is same as office softrawe
Google Apps include "Drive" Drive is complete solution for office requirements. Spreadsheet,presentations,documents etc. and have extra properties as Form Builder (for simple data collection) and Cloud file storage. But Google apps haven't any solution alternatively to MS Access.
What is the easiest way to use the Amazon Product API on the Google App Engine? How do you work around the socket limitations of Google App Engine?
Are you using the REST API ? If it's purely a REST API, you should be able to make calls using the urlfetch service.
What have you tried so far, and what errors has it given you?
Also, are you using the Java or Python version of App Engine?
I'm using this library together with Beautiful Soup on App Engine. Had no problems so far.
This basic Amazon Product API module is compatible with Google App Engine.
