PayPal Adaptive Parallel Payments - send form data to paypal

0
votes

I'm using the PayPal API for adaptive payments for buying products in my website, when users want to do 'checkout' in the website I transfer them to paypal to login or register in order to complete the payment process. The default option is the register form but the form is empty when redirecting to paypal from my website, is there any way to transfer the registration data (like name, address, email...) to this form from the redirection to paypal so my users wont need to do it twice (in my website and in paypal)?

I know that when using the standard payments this is enabled but I didn't figured it out how to do it with adaptive payments.

Thanks

Currently there isn't an option to pass their registration info via Adaptive Payments Parallel Payments.

You may however want to look into Express Checkout Parallel payments as it will support customer registration details via the API and offers more flexibility. I've listed a sample request below.

This is an "advanced" request. Line item details are not required however is recommended to provide a better checkout experience.
