Good day @icicic,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

https://www.paypal.com/apex/product-profile/p4p_ordersv2/createOrder documentation is a demo/simulator.

Please perform Create Order API(https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#orders_create) call and then redirect the customer/buyer to "approve" URL returned from the Create Order API response as below: 

{ "href": "https://www.paypal.com/checkoutnow?token=*******”, "method": "GET", "rel": "approve" },

Once the order is approved by the customer/buyer, merchant should perform Capture Order (https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#orders_capture) API call and customer/buyer should pass the valid funding source.

Sincerely,

HI @MTS_Chiranjeevi thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to reply.

however https://www.paypal.com/apex/product-profile/p4p_ordersv2/createOrder documentation is a demo/simulator.

That doesn't answer the question at all, the 2 links I provided are for the SAME API! so why does the documentation differ?

You explanation of payment flow is godd thank you
