Build a integration to PayPal Settlement API for automatic bookkeeping of payouts

[GSativa]

Hi!

We're a SaaS platform allowing ecom merchants to connect their ecom platforms, payment providers, bookkeeping software etc. to gain 360 degrees insight and automate manual processes like bookkeeping etc. 

We're currently looking into integrating PayPal as an acquirer, to allow merchants that uses PayPal in their payment gateway, to have sales through PayPal bookkept automatically. For us to do so, we need to also be able to link the payout from the settlement to the order in our system. This is pretty straight forward, but in order to do so, we'll need to integrate to PayPal Settlement API, for merchants to connect up, and us to be able to gain insight into their settlement and the payouts within.

I have a hard time finding a proper answer on the availability to do so, and I hope someone in here are able to help, as I have tried reaching out to PayPal support and sales with no luck.

Thanks in advance,
