PayPal payout fee

[Milosnovi]

I’m using PayPal restapi for payout. What we trying to achieve is to put fee on recipient side rather than on our side. Our platform pay other for their service and it makes sense to put fee on their side. I contacted PayPal support and they give me solution with marking payout type as ‘pay for service/good’ but this option exist only if you use PayPal dashboard. Can I use this option but using rest api? If not, is there any way how to do payout with restapi but put fee on recipient side?

I have the exact requirement. Did you find a solution?

I tried the logic in my sandbox, following the table in https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/merchant-fees#paypal-payouts, but my fees are higher than the 2% / fixed cap amount. I.e. 

$2562.00 AUD to AUD returns a fee of $51.24. But it should be capped at $24.

I have the same problem

Seems that in the past was something called Adaptive Payment thats has that field but is no longer available to new integrations. Was the field "feesPayer".

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/adaptive-payments/Pay-API-Operation/

Does anyone knows how to do that now?

Hello PayPal. Any news on that?

The legacy adaptive API seemed to support that. I haven't yet found anything in the Payout docs to achieve the same results.
