    text
    copied!<p>I have a hard time finding clear answers to what's involved in implementing following case of chained payments using PayPal...</p> <p>We are based in New Zealand, offering following types of accounts: <a href="https://www.paypal.com/nz/webapps/mpp/compare-business-products" rel="nofollow">https://www.paypal.com/nz/webapps/mpp/compare-business-products</a> Currently, we have a Business Express Checkout account.</p> <p>Our browser app allows users to set up product configurators. The configurators are then used by other users (consumers), to purchase configured products.</p> <p>A. <strong>Simple payment case</strong>: When consumers pay for the configured product, we are the primary recipient, and pass on the payment to the owner of the configurator, minus our revenue share %.</p> <p>B. <strong>Complex Payment case</strong>: Same as A, but multiple secondary recipients. We can't use parallel payments, because the multiple recipients need to be obfuscated.</p> <p>For each case:</p> <ol> <li>If not chained payments, what is the best fit PayPal option? Which API, if applicable?</li> <li>Does the Express Checkout account support the required API? If not, which account type, available in New Zealand, does?</li> <li>Which of the parties requires approval from PayPal? What type of approval? How long does the approval process take, and what affects its success?</li> <li>Any other considerations when moving from the sandbox to the live setup?</li> <li>What's the cost of the solution?</li> </ol> <p>We'd obviously favour solutions that require minimal approval hassle, as we will be dealing with many configurators.</p>
