PayPal Adaptive Payment Permission

Question

I read the documentation from PayPal and there is one section stated that

"You can use the following standard services without requesting specific permission:

• Making simple or parallel payments that require explicit approval of the sender

• Getting payment details

• Making refunds

• Performing currency conversions

To use any other service, you must receive permission from PayPal to use the service when you submit your application."

Does it mean that if I want to use Adaptive Chained Payment I need to ask for special permission from PayPal ? if so how would I submit the request ? Is there any possible obstacle ?

Answer 1

You need to apply for an APP ID regardless. The services listed above may be quickly approved, whereas other services may require more information.

To apply for a live Adaptive Payments APP ID, go to https://developer.paypal.com -> Applications -> My apps -> Create and manage Classic API apps.
