Paypal - invoices

1

I want to create the following environment:

Some users will create some resources on my site and for each task they will receive some money.

When the user reaches a certain amount of money the user is allowed to click a button to request money for my paypal account. Then, programmatically, an invoice will be created on our paypal accounts and my business account will pay off the debt.

The point is that I was only able to achieve this scenario using two business accounts (so the user of my site has to be a business account) because it was the way I found to have API credentials for creating an invoice in the account of the user.

But I wanted to achieve the above scenario using a common user account. So the average user would create an invoice that would be available in our PayPal accounts and my business account would pay the invoice to my user who requested payment under these conditions.

Is this scenario possible? If not, is there another option besides invoicing for contemplating this scenario?

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Hello, you can create credentials with a physical account Yes, what you should make sure is if the account creation is being done correctly, for example at the time of registering the PayPal account you have three options you must choose the one of "Vendor with CPF", with this type of account it is possible to generate the API credentials. Detail, have you tried using the PayPal sandbox platform? By default all accounts created through the SandBox, whether business or not, are generated API credentials.

To can create accounts in the sandbox environment: link To access your sandbox account: link
