I hope this message finds you well. I have been using the Adaptive Payments feature for my business operations, and I recently learned that it's no longer available. Could you please advise on what alternatives or new solutions PayPal now offers to replace the Adaptive Payments feature?
Thank you in advance for your guidance. I appreciate your assistance in helping me transition smoothly to the new solution.

Hello @Gavriovna ,
Thank you for posting to the PayPal Merchant Community.

PayPal Commerce allows a platform account to processes all payments, holds funds, disburses funds, takes funds from other accounts via an API Call, and send funds to other accounts via API Call.. It uses Server Side Rest API. PayPal Commerce also has Advanced Credit Card processing available (Direct Credit Cards).
Here is the documentation:

If you would like to test out the API to make sure it works for your platform, you can enable it in the PayPal Developer Dashboard.
Here is How:
- Log into the Developer Dashboard at https://developer.paypal.com
- Click on Apps & Credentials
- Click Create App
