How do I set up a PayPal facilitated marketplace? I need sellers and buyers to transact with each other and then take a commission from their sales.
Which API do I use? I can't seem to find any info. Thank you!

Hi @nicolekai1,
Thank you for contacting PayPal community.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Yes, you can Integrate PayPal Commerce Platform for Marketplaces and Platforms.
In 2018, PayPal has introduced PayPal for Marketplaces, a new product solution as an alternative to Adaptive Payments. With your business model, you can consider Marketplaces as a possible interim solution, and to learn more about the Marketplaces product can refer to the following link:
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/commerce-platform/
Unfortunately, we don't have the account access available to approve/enable MarketPlace feature for merchant accounts.
I request to please fill the MarketPlace application via below link.

Our Partners team will be reviewing your business details and contact you accordingly.
Note - The PayPal Commerce Platform is a limited-release solution at this time. It is available to selected partners for approved use cases.
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.
Sincerely,
Chiranjeevi
PayPal, Inc.
