Integrating App with Third Party

[chasechicken]

Hi all, I’ve created a developer account and app, and can take payments / make refunds fine in sandbox mode. The website is actually to enable third parties to set up a shop and sell their goods (a very simple e-commerce site) and so to go live I need to be able to take payments for lots of different accounts. What’s not clear to me is how I integrate with these other PayPal accounts?? I authenticate with OAuth, using my developer secret etc. So am I meant to have a separate account for each client of mine? That doesn’t seem right? Any pointers gratefully received!

Hi @chasechicken,

Thank you for contacting PayPal community.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

I would suggest to 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

How it works :

To onboard, your seller clicks a sign-up link on your website which redirects them to PayPal to log in to or sign up for a PayPal account and to grant you permissions to process payments on their behalf. You use the Partner Referrals API to prefill the onboarding form with data that you have previously collected about your sellers, and you can localize the form fields.

Unfortunately, we MTS 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 : PayPal for Marketplaces is a limited-release solution at this time. It is available to select partners for approved use cases. 

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,
Chiranjeevi
