I am using the Paypal Commerce Platform, and I have this activated in my Sandbox Account.
There are three parts to the test transaction:
Payer Account
Merchant Account
Platform Account
I can successfully run a transaction, which debits the Payer sandbox account and credits the Merchant sandbox account. However, the Platform account does not receive the fee as a credit in its account.
Payer pays $100, and the fee is set up in the Order Creation here:
https://api-m.sandbox.paypal.com/v2/checkout/orders
Like so:
"intent": "CAPTURE",
"purchase_units": [{
"amount": {
"currency_code": "USD",
"value": "100.00"
},
"payee": {
"email_address": "XXXXXXXXX"
},
"payment_instruction": {
"disbursement_mode": "INSTANT",
"platform_fees": [{
"amount": {
"currency_code": "USD",
"value": "15.00"
}
}]
}
After the transaction is completed and captured, the Payer account has $100 less than it did before. The Merchant account has $85 added to it, minus paypal fees. So the platform fee IS being taken out of the payment. However, the Platform Account shows no activity and does not get credited with the $15.
Is this a bug? Or am I missing something I should be doing?
