Getting user's business name and country via PayPal APIs

Our company has clients who have PayPal accounts. We also have their PayPal emails.

The issue is how to get client's business_name and country by providing its PayPal email?

Is it possible to make it using PayPal API?

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • When a user makes a payment (Set up standard payments), you'll receive their shipping address country code as part of the v2/checkout/orders capture response.

    If you need to the country of a PayPal account separately from such a payment capture's shipping address, then you might need to implement Log in with PayPal requesting the scope address, and have the user log in.

    However, the capture response might also have a "payer" object with the billing account country (which can be different from the shipping country in some cases).
