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?

Sure,
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/
But your correct on the fees, there would be a fee for receiving the payments and a fee for the PayOut to the next party.

I also don't see a way to for a customer to use their own paypal username and password via the api. I believe this must be to prevent any develop using the api to actually touch a paypal user account. Do you see any way to use the api to send or receive payments using a paypal user account?

sssaltman at pmfbeta.com. We are a US company doing the same thing and discovering the same issues.
I contacted you quite a while ago, but did not get a reply. Maybe my mail is stuck in your spam folder?

Hi waldgeist,
We are in the same boat as you. I'm curious to know how you solved it. Is there a way to get in touch?
Thank you,
Guillaume

Hello!
We face the same issue: We need to use something like adaptive payments because we cannot keep the money and redistribute it for legal reasons. At the same time, we are unhappy about the outdated style and the fact that it is quite unusable on mobile phones.
I would be very happy to know about alternative solutions that you used!
Regards
Matthias

Hello!
The same problem here.
have you found any possible alternatives?
So basically, is paypal closing a service before creating an alternative?
I don't want to start a project with a "legacy" system...
Cheers

Hey,
So it depends on what you need, we're not closing this product completely in the short term, this will take time, but it is going in that direction. At the moment its in limited release, you can still apply for all the Adaptive Payments features and you may get enabled depending on what you need. We will continue to support the product until an alternative is ready.
For some use cases there are alternatives available already e.g. PayOuts API or Express Checkout Parallel Payments, or reference transactions/recurring payments.
