We need to take payments on behalf of merchants. Eg a customer will pay online, but the funds go directly to the merchant. From the paypal docs we learned and implemented the merchant onboarding process and capture and save the merchants paypal id. We use the smart payment buttons and the order is generated server side and passed back the the client application/web page. This works fine and has no problem accepting OUR paypal sdk clientid and the merchant (payee) id we pass to the paypal rest api. HOWEVER on our webpage where the buttons are rendered , the call to the paypal javascript SDK fails if we pass the sdk anything BUT OUR OWN API/SDK client id and our OWN merchant/paypal id.... it appears we would need to somehow register as a paypal partner in order to achieve this... any advise would be appreciated.
