[FIXED] How to send money to any paypal account

Issue

Is it possible to send money using paypal API to any paypal account (not just to API credentials owner). I know that it's possible to do that using IPN, but I need to use SOAP.

Solution

You've got two main options: use the MassPay API or Adaptive Payments API.

Note: Adaptive Payments is not available for new integrations. PayPal provides documentation to only support existing integrations

The Adaptive Payments option gives you a lot more control over the payment and is the future direction of the Paypal APIs. It supports SOAP, NVP, JSON and plain XML. MassPay has both a SOAP and NVP interface.

IPNs are a totally different subject: https://www.paypal.com/ipn

[FIXED] How to program Fiverr withdraw button?

Issue

I am wondering if anyone has experience using Freelance site like Fiverr and has experience how the seller withdraw button works in the backend.

Say, for example,

1. A seller has earned $150 on Fiverr.
2. Fiverr takes 14 days to clear the fund.
3. After that, the seller can click withdraw Paypal Account button.
4. The fund will automatically be sent to the seller's Paypal account .

How does the backend works for Step 3 and Step 4? In my observation, this happens instantly without any Fiverr CS. I feel like the cleared fund is sitting in Fiverr's account. When a seller click withdraw, the cleared fund will automatically be sent.

Thank you in advance for any ideas.

Cheers Marco

Solution

Fiverr is presumably a PayPal partner, so PayPal advises them directly on what specific integration to use, but one potential API they might be using is PayPal Payouts, which requires approval, or a specialized service such as Hyperwallet.
