What is the successor of Adaptive Payments?

We're a Germany-based startup and would like to setup a C2C sharing-economy business model that requires a simple split payment:

* user A pays money to user B for a service

* our platform gets a commission of x% on this

 

We would like to make payments as easy as possible for both sides, since both users are customers (hence C2C), not full-fledged businesses. The easiest way would be to transfer money from one paypal account to another, using just the e-mail address of both parties.

 

A couple of months ago, we thought that Adaptive Payments was a good choice for this. But when we started to implement it, we saw on the docs that it is deprecated now. But there is no hint about a successor product. We know that there is Braintree marketplace, but this is available in the US only. The only Braintree product available in Germany is v.zero, but that just seems to be a simple PayPal checkout button.

 

Is there any PayPal product available in the EU that allows split payments like Adaptive Payments did? Or do we have to switch to Stripe Connect or MangoPay for such business cases?

Thanks for pointing me to this forum! Reposted there. BTW: I also contacted PayPal support, but never got a reply.

 

EDIT: I now saw I got a reply in the message area of my PayPal account. They told me that I should look for a 3rd party solution 😕
