We are looking to integrate paypal into our application as another way for users to accept and issue payments. Our current workflow utilizes Stripe's Connect functionality, which gives us the ability to accept payment on behalf of third parties. I have been reading through the paypal documentation and stumbled across How to Make a Basic Chained Payment Using Adaptive Payments. I believe this is what we require, as it would allow us to accept a payment, retain our processing fee, and send the remainder to the third parties' paypal account. However, the documentation states "Adaptive Payments is now a limited release product. It is restricted to select partners for approved use cases and should not be used for new integrations without guidance from PayPal". Which leads me to the following questions: 1.) How might our ourganization become a "select partner" with the ability to take advantage of chained payments? 2.) Are there other means to accomplish the workflow described above via PayPal without becoming a "select partner", in the case where our ourganization does not meat the necessary requirements?
