Hello,
I am just starting out developing an app that uses the payout API. I would like to get the payer_id of a user that has logged in with paypal. I am able to successfully call the userinfo endpoint of the identity API, which returns the following:
{'verified': 'true', 'email_verified': 'true', 'email': 'NOT_ALLOWED_TO_WRITE_THIS_HERE', 'user_id': 'https://www.paypal.com/webapps/auth/identity/user/xFGpMjjoqS-MClBcVyYQV3D6IzZ-uuKal2HuDhw1_MQ'}
According to the reference (https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/identity/), it seems like it's possible to obtain the payer_id from this endpoint. However, payer_id is clearly not present in the response, and I don't see any checkbox in my app settings that would enable this property.
How do I obtain the payer_id of a user that has logged in via paypal?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @MTS_Andre We're having the same issue too. We're not getting the payer_id in the sandbox or the live app credentials. Payouts API is enabled for our account, is it possible that the payer_id scope is not enabled for our account too?
Any assistance much appreciated with this! Our PayPal integration is blocked until we can get this resolved 😞

Same issue here. We are trying to get from info from a userinfo end-point, with scope: "openid profile"
And it seems I don't have access to private messenger 😕 Perhaps I could create a new sandbox account and share it here in the public?

Hi @MTS_Andre, I also have this issue. Our website currently uses NVP. We want to update that to use the current API, however we could not get the payer_id in Identity Login.
Also tried to PM you but I could not find the messenger. We use a different email for the API calls.

Hi @MTS_Andre, could I please also get your help with this issue? I'd like to access the scope to get Payer ID via the userinfo endpoint.
I can't send a private message. The email address associated with this account is the same one with the Sandbox env where I need to access the Payer ID.
Thank you for your help!
