Paypal Integration

[mohammediqbalbe]

Hi, I have developed a web application that will have multiple users. Each user will have their own customers, and the primary purpose of these users is to receive payments from their customers. Which approach would be the most suitable for integrating this type of payment system?

Hi @mohammediqbalbe ,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal Merchant Community.

Making API calls on behalf of another PayPal user in the live environment will require pre-approval from our sales team at the following link [https://developer.paypal.com/docs/multiparty/#link-tellusaboutyourplatform], but you may start developing in sandbox without pre-approval using PayPal Complete Payments Platform for Marketplaces and Platforms [https://developer.paypal.com/docs/multiparty/get-started/].

If you have any additional questions about integrating PayPal with your platform, please feel free to ask here or create a PayPal Merchant Technical Support (MTS) ticket via the following URL: https://www.paypal.com/mts. Please ensure that you provide detailed information and any errors you are experiencing when submitting the ticket.

Sincerely,
John

Hello @mohammediqbalbe. 

To make API calls on behalf of your merchants and buyers will require you to use a platform REST app that you can create in your PayPal developer dashboard [https://developer.paypal.com/docs/multiparty/create-account/#create-your-sandbox-api-caller-account]. Just select "Platform" when creating an app in sandbox. This platform app allows you to make calls on behalf of your merchants and to use the partner APIs. 

Use the Partner Referrals API to onboard PayPal seller accounts to your platform [https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/partner-referrals/v2/]. The process is documented from here on our developer site by following those 2 links, and this is the place to start. If you have any additional questions please feel free to ask and we will do our best to respond. 

Sincerely,

Sure, here’s the corrected version:

 Thanks for the quick reply, @MTS_John . I have one more question. If I am using the process to set up a PayPal account, will the sellers I have onboarded be listed in my partner app, along with their transactions? And, will the people I onboarded be able to see their transactions in their accounts? Please correct me if I’m mistaken.
