Hi guys, I need to set up a PayPal Adaptive system on my marketplace website so I can split payments with vendors... How do I get the API signature, username, and other information...? Thank you.

Hey @Amino01 

 

I just thought I'd point you in the right direction here. Adaptive Payments are actually deprecated and can no longer be onboarded with. That means, you'll have to use the PayPal Commerce Platform for Marketplaces. The "split" payment works in this case by having one "Partner" who processes the payment on behalf of another merchant, but then also takes a platform fee of their choosing. In reality, it is similar to Adaptive payments, just the "split" is determined by how much the "fee" is. You can see that "platform_fee" in an API call sample here. To get started, you'll need to apply to be a partner using this form

 

Hope that helps!
