How to send money to any paypal account

Is it possible to send money using paypal API to any paypal account (not just to API credentials owner). I know that it's possible to do that using IPN, but I need to use SOAP.

You've got two main options: use the MassPay API or Adaptive Payments API.

Note: Adaptive Payments is not available for new integrations. PayPal provides documentation to only support existing integrations

The Adaptive Payments option gives you a lot more control over the payment and is the future direction of the Paypal APIs. It supports SOAP, NVP, JSON and plain XML. MassPay has both a SOAP and NVP interface.

IPNs are a totally different subject: https://www.paypal.com/ipn

Seems like lot of things are now deprecated. You should use PayPal Payouts.

Use PayPal Payouts to send money to multiple people at the same time.

To send a payout, you need to know:

  1. Each recipient's email address, a domestic mobile number, or payer ID (an encrypted PayPal account number)
  2. Payment amount (per recipient)
  3. Currency code (one currency per payout)
