Create a payment link given an email

Say I have a given email that is not mine (a customer) [email protected].

Say I would like to let another unknown customer pay money to this email. (= marketplace)

So in my website anyone who click a button is able to pay using Paypal to this given email. I have no relationship with any of them.

Is it possible with the API ? if so where is the reference to it ? Is there any generic structure to create a link to request money based on a given email [email protected] ?

In Adaptive Payment, Paypal says :

Adaptive Payments is now a limited release product

Which means ?

This can be done with the Express Checkout APIs, but based on what you're saying I would recommend you just use PayPal Standard.

This URL can be used as a template to build a payment request. Just replace the email in the business parameter with the email you want the payment to go to. Then anybody can use that URL to send a payment to that person.

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&bn=AngellEYE_PHPClass&[email protected]&amount=25.00&currency_code=USD

So you can see this specifies the email address for where the payment should go, and it also includes the amount and currency code.

You can add any parameters you want from the PayPal Standard Variables Reference.
