Good evening. I have spent a considerable amount of time integrating PayPal into my Windows application. Unfortunately, due to technical issues, I cannot display an Internet browser to the end user. Does PayPal support an SDK/API that will allow me to accept payments without displaying a browser window? I have looked over the Internet and this question has been asked numerous times over the years, but I want to check directly with you.
Thank you in advance.

Hi @Seated
Thanks for your question! To my knowledge, some sort of internet browser is required at least at one point during the checkout process to display the PayPal login and checkout page. For integrations where a browser isn't possible, you'd have to look at our direct credit card offering from Braintree which can process credit cards simply through an API call.
Hope that helps!
