Please let me elaborate a bit on why doing what you intend is an inherently bad idea. The general idea behind payment systems, like PayPal for instance, is that people don't want to trust the owner of a website that sells something or provides a service for pay. If the consumers would trust anybody with their bank account or credit card data there would be no need for these payment systems.
Enter your application: If your customers would trust you they could just as well give you all the information you need to make the nescessary money transfer.
My suggestion for you is to stay with the general procedure for paying via PayPal: Have a hyper link in your "About" dialog or wherever you see fit in your windows application and have it point to a page on your website from where the customer initiates the payment. This is what most people are already used to and generally accepted.

If you still have questions, feel free to leave a comment.

Best Regards,
Manfred
