Question

I\'ve just started looking at Paypal\'s REST api. One thing I can\'t seem to see is a feature paypal call Adaptive Payments. This allows me to register my app with my develo

Answer 1

Ok, after some extensive googling, I managed to find the answer here

This general model enables us to easily add support for variety of payment models in the future (Parallel, Chained, etc). The Payee could be a funding instrument (like a Credit/Debit Card,) or a PayPal account (wallet) itself. The Payee could be set explicitly if the Payee is not the same as the Payment Facilitator ( in this current release we only support the case where the Payee is same as the Facilitator) so this is not currently required.

So looks like a payee is just added to the transactions array, but this is not currently implemented as of the date of this answer.

Answer 2

As of January 3rd 2017, PayPal has now added the ability to set the payee to anyone you wish.

Notice the new payee object below:

{
    'intent':'sale',
    'redirect_urls':{
        'return_url':'http://localhost:3000/process',
        'cancel_url':'http://localhost:3000/cancel'
    },
    'payer':{
        'payment_method':'paypal'
    },
    'transactions':[{
        'amount':{
            'total':'10',
            'currency':'USD'
        },
        'payee':{
            'email': 'payee@test.com'
        },
        'description':'My amazing product'
    }]
}

However, there doesn't seem to be an ability to have multiple payee's.
