Which API is used to send money?

[sirenimports]

Hi,

When I send money manually I click "Send money" from my main PayPal screen. Then I enter a persons email, select account, etc and then send it.

Now I want to use an API. Which API is right for me?

Payouts API seems right, but I was hoping for a simpler way.

Thanks!

Hi @sirenimports 

The Payouts API would be the best way to do this. The Payouts API is built to support businesses that want to disburse money quickly to various sellers, buyers, or contractors. With that in mind, there isn't too much demand for a more basic API as most simply prefer the UI for basic send money functions. The Payouts API may look a little complex, but not to worry as it should be straightforward and a short request if you're only doing a simple send money action to one or two emails.

I hope that helps!

Thanks, Aaron! I was hoping I wouldn't have to read the Payouts API doc, but it is what it is 🙂 At least there is a way.
