paypal adaptive payments guest implicit payment

Question

Hello,

When calling Adaptive payments PAT API call i Would like to supply a credit card (or vaulted credit card) in an adaptive payment without redirecting the guest account to paypal - since our user has already supplied to us his credit card prior

I have been looking into the documentation and this doesn't seem supported - why? and is this planned to be changed anytime soon because this might make us reconsider PAYPAL as a provider (in payments pay API call you are allowed to supply CC)

Thanks

Answer 1

Adaptive Payments APIs only support payments with PayPal Accounts. they do not support direct credit card payments. Also, Vault is only compatible with the new REST APIs - with saved credit cards in Vault, you can only use the new REST payment API to process the payment. here is the how to guide for that: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/integration/direct/store-a-credit-card/

Answer 2

The REST API only supports transactions from a stored credit card in Vault to a business PayPal account,

What we need is P2P, we need a way to perform transaction between a sender (a stored credit card in a Vault) to receivers (other PayPal accounts),

Just like what the Adaptive Payments API,

Is there a way to achieve that? if not are there any workarounds?

Thanks.
