How to send money to any paypal account


Is it possible to send money using paypal API to any paypal account (not just to API credentials owner). I know that it's possible to do that using IPN, but I need to use SOAP.


Solution

  • You've got two main options: use the MassPay API or Adaptive Payments API.

    Note: Adaptive Payments is not available for new integrations. PayPal provides documentation to only support existing integrations

    The Adaptive Payments option gives you a lot more control over the payment and is the future direction of the Paypal APIs. It supports SOAP, NVP, JSON and plain XML. MassPay has both a SOAP and NVP interface.

    IPNs are a totally different subject: https://www.paypal.com/ipn
