API operations
The PayPal REST APIs are supported in two environments. Use the Sandbox environment for testing purposes, then move to the live environment for production processing. When testing, generate an access token with your test credentials to make calls to the Sandbox URIs. When you’re set to go live, use the live credentials assigned to your app to generate a new access token to be used with the live URIs.
Note If you’re looking for the endpoints to PayPal’s non-RESTful APIs, refer to the NVP/SOAP API endpoints.
The following endpoints address our two environments:
-
Sandbox (for testing) :
https://api.sandbox.paypal.com -
Live (production) :
https://api.paypal.com
A complete REST operation is formed by combining an HTTP method (or “verb”) with the full URI to the resource you’re addressing. For example, here is the operation to create a new payment:
POST https://api.paypal.com/v1/payments/payment
To create a complete request, combine the operation with the appropriate HTTP headers and any required JSON payload.

Authentication & Headers
With each API call, you’ll need to set request headers, including an OAuth 2.0 access token. Get an access token by using the OAuth 2.0 client_credentials token grant type with your clientId:secret as your Basic Auth credentials. For more information, see Make your first call.
You can use your Sandbox access token to try any of the code in this reference.
Authorization |
When requesting an access token, send the value as the HTTP Basic Authentication credentials using your clientId and secret. (when using cURL, you can specify them as -u "clientId:secret"). When calling APIs, send the value as the OAuth 2.0 access token with the authentication type set as Bearer (Example: Authorization: Bearer <Access-Token>) Required.
|
Accept |
Set to application/json. Required.
|
PayPal-Request-Id |
Contains a unique ID that you generate that can be used for enforcing idempotency. Note: Omitting this header increases the risk of duplicate transactions. |
PayPal-Partner-Attribution-Id |
Use this header if you are a PayPal partner. Specify a unique BN Code to receive revenue attribution. To learn more or to request a BN Code, contact your Partner Manager or visit the PayPal Partner Portal. |
PayPal-Client-Metadata-Id |
PayPal uses this Client Metadata ID to verify that the payment is originating from a valid, user-consented device+application. This helps reduce fraud and decrease declines. Transactions that do not include a Client Metadata ID are not eligible for PayPal Seller Protection. See future payments for further details about initiating a pre-consented payment from a mobile device. |
OAuth Request / Response
Use the OAuth request to retrieve an access token for use with your payments calls.
For authentication and authorization related to Identity, learn how to obtain a user’s consent.
Request
Include the <Client-Id>:<Secret> as your Basic Auth credentials.
Tip: Learn more about how PayPal uses OAuth 2.0.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
grant_type |
string | Token grant type. Must be set to client_credentials. Required.
|
content-type |
string | Set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded for access token requests. This is done by default in cURL calls and is not shown in the request sample, but you may need to explicitly set this for non-cURL implementations. |
Request Sample

"token_type": "Bearer",
"app_id": "APP-6XR95014BA15863X",
"expires_in": 28800
}
Obtain user’s consent
You obtain a user’s consent to make Identity API calls on their behalf by redirecting them to the authorization endpoint. See Identity API calls for more information.
Authorization endpoint:
Live: https://www.paypal.com/webapps/auth/protocol/openidconnect/v1/authorize
Sandbox: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/webapps/auth/protocol/openidconnect/v1/authorize
Note: The live environment also supports the optional inclusion of a 2-letter ISO-3166-1 country code:
https://www.paypal.com/<2-letter-country-code>/webapps/auth/protocol/openidconnect/v1/authorize
This results in a localized page if the content has been translated for the app, and if the language is left-to-right.
Invoke the login flow from the application to Log In with PayPal with following URL, using browser redirect (HTTP 302).
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
client_id |
string | Unique client identifier obtained through the application registration process. Required. |
response_type |
string | Set to code to request that an authorization code be sent back to the application return URL (recommended, as the access tokens are not visible in the user-agent). Set to token to return a token, which is used mostly by public clients, such as JavaScript or mobile applications. Set to id_token for session assertion associated with the user’s authentication (e.g., used in remote procedure calls for explicit session management such as logout). |
scope |
string | URL-encoded, space-separated list of requested scope URIs. For example (URL-encoded): “profile+email+address”. For a list of possible values, see the attributes table. |
redirect_uri |
string | Application return URL where the authorization code is sent. The specified redirect_uri must match the return URL registered for your app on the Applications page of the PayPal Developer site. All parts of the specified redirect_uri, including protocol, host, port, context path, and query parameter names and values must match with the exception of the state parameter. You can use the state parameter to pass information that was not known at the time the return URL for your app was registered. The state parameter must be URL encoded and Base64 encoded. |
nonce |
string | An opaque random identifier to mitigate replay attacks. A simple function would be: (timestamp + Base64 encoding (random\[16\]))
|
state |
string | Any state parameter that may be required by the application to know the request context. |
Login and consent
The Log In with PayPal authorization endpoint validates the authorization/authentication request and directs the user to log in. After successful login, a consent message is displayed to the user. A user consent grants the requesting application access to the user’s PayPal attributes, as indicated by the scope specified in the request.
Return To Application
Once consent is granted, PayPal redirects (HTTP 302) the user back to the return URL with an authorization code appended to the URL. Use the authorization code to obtain a refresh token and initial access token.
Request URI Sample: Grant Consent
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/webapps/auth/protocol/openidconnect/v1/authorize
?client_id=<Client-Id>
&response_type=code
&scope=profile+email+address+phone
+https%3A%2F%2Furi.paypal.com%2Fservices%2Fpaypalattributes
&redirect_uri=http://example.com/myapp/return.php
Response URI Sample: Grant Consent
http://example.com/myapp/return.php?scope=profile+email+address
+phone+https%3A%2F%2Furi.paypal.com%2Fservices%2Fpaypalattributes
&code=<Authorization-Code>
Paging & Filtering
In HTTP GET requests, you can use input parameters for paging and filtering. The input parameters currently are available for the /v1/payments/payment resource and the /v1/payments/billing-plans resource. See list plans for the Billing Plans input parameters.
You can combine filters, as shown in the sample below.
Paging for one-time payments
For the /v1/payments/payment resource, the following input parameters can be used.
| Filter | Description |
|---|---|
count |
Number of items to return. Default is 10 with a maximum value of 20. |
start_id |
Resource ID that indicates the starting resource to return. When results are paged, you can use the next_id response value as the start_id to continue with the next set of results. |
start_index |
Start index of the resources to be returned. Typically used to jump to a specific position in the resource history based on its order. Example for starting at the second item in a list of results: ?start_index=2
|
start_time |
Resource creation time as defined in RFC 3339 Section 5.6 that indicates the start of a range of results. Example: start_time=2013-03-06T11:00:00Z
|
end_time |
Resource creation time that indicates the end of a range of results. |
sort_by |
Sort based on create_time or update_time. |
sort_order |
Sort based on order of results. Options include asc for ascending order or desc for descending order (default). |
Request Sample
curl -v -X GET https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/payments/payment?sort_order=asc&sort_by=update_time \
-H "Content-Type:application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <Access-Token>"
@payment_history = Payment.all( :count => 10 )
payment_history = Payment.all({ "count": 10 })
paypal_sdk.payment.list({ "count": 10 }, function(error, payment_history){
if(error){
console.error(error);
} else {
console.log(payment_history);
}
});
OAuthTokenCredential tokenCredential =
new OAuthTokenCredential("<CLIENT_ID>", "<CLIENT_SECRET>");
String accessToken = tokenCredential.getAccessToken();
QueryParameters queryParameters = new QueryParameters();
queryParameters.setCount("10");
PaymentHistory paymentHistory = Payment.get(accessToken, queryParameters);
$apiContext = new ApiContext(new OAuthTokenCredential(
"<CLIENT_ID>", "<CLIENT_SECRET>"));
$payments = Payment::all(array('count' => 10, 'start_index' => 0), $apiContext);
OAuthTokenCredential tokenCredential =
new OAuthTokenCredential("<CLIENT_ID>", "<CLIENT_SECRET>");
string accessToken = tokenCredential.GetAccessToken();
var parameters = new QueryParameters();
parameters.SetCount("10");
PaymentHistory paymentHistory = Payment.Get(accessToken, parameters);
HATEOAS Links
Each API call response includes an array of HATEOAS (Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State) links. The beauty of HATEOAS is that it allows you to interact and construct an API flow solely through the hyperlinks we provide you. You no longer need to hardcode logic into your client in order to use our API. We provide HATEOAS links for each call and for transactions within a call, if available. Learn more about how the REST Payment API uses HATEOAS.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
href |
URL of the related HATEOAS link you can use for subsequent calls. |
rel |
Link relation that describes how this link relates to the previous call. Examples include self (get details of the current call), parent_payment (get details of the parent payment), or a related call such as execute or refund. |
method |
The HTTP method required for the related call. |
HATEOAS Links Example
"links" : [{
"href" : "https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/payments/payment/PAY-2XR800907F429382MKEBWOSA",
"rel" : "self",
"method" : "GET"
}, {
"href" : "https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/payments/payment/PAY-2XR800907F429382MKEBWOSA/execute",
"rel" : "update",
"method" : "POST"
}

Payments
The payments namespace contains resource collections for payment, sale, refund, authorization, and capture.
Payment
PayPal provides various payment related operations using the /payment resource and related sub-resources.
Use payment for direct credit card payments and PayPal account payments.
You can also use sub-resources to get payment related details.
URI
https://api.paypal.com/v1/payments/payment
Create a payment
Operation
POST /v1/payments/payment
Depending on the payment_method and the funding_instrument, you can use the payment resource for direct credit card payments, stored credit card payments, or PayPal account payments.
You can authorize payments to be captured later or create an order.
Note: Direct credit card payment and related features are restricted in some countries.
When creating a payment, set the intent (sale, authorize, or order), and specify the actual transactions details like amount, recipients, and items.
Important: Authorizations are guaranteed for up to 3 days, though you can attempt to capture an authorization for up to 29 days. After the 3-day honor period authorization expires, you can reauthorize the payment.
Request
Provide a payment object that includes an intent, payer, and transactions.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
intent |
string | Payment intent. Must be set to sale for immediate payment, authorize to authorize a payment for capture later, or order to create an order. Required.
|
payer |
payer | Source of the funds for this payment represented by a PayPal account or a credit card. Required. |
transactions |
array of transaction objects | Transactional details including the amount and item details. Required. |
redirect_urls |
redirect_urls | Set of redirect URLs you provide only for PayPal-based payments. Required for PayPal payments. |

Reauthorize a payment
Operation
POST /v1/payments/authorization/<Authorization-Id>/reauthorize
Use this call to reauthorize a PayPal account payment. We recommend that you reauthorize a payment after the initial 3-day honor period to ensure that funds are still available.
You can reauthorize a payment only once 4 to 29 days after 3-day honor period for the original authorization expires. If 30 days have passed from the original authorization, you must create a new authorization instead. A reauthorized payment itself has a new 3-day honor period. You can reauthorize a transaction once for up to 115% of the originally authorized amount, not to exceed an increase of $75 USD.
Note: You can only reauthorize PayPal account payments.
Request
Pass the authorization id in the endpoint along with a new authorization object if you need to authorize a different amount.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
amount |
amount object | Amount being reauthorized. Required. |

Refund an order
It is not possible to refund an order directly. Instead, you must refund a completed payment of the order. Refer to the following how-to guides for integration information:
For operation information as well as request and response details, see Refund a captured payment.
Payouts
The Payouts feature enables you to make PayPal payments to multiple PayPal accounts in a single API call. You can specify the recipients using their PayPal email addresses, phone numbers, or encrypted PayPal account numbers.
The Payout APIs are a fast, convenient way to send commissions, rebates, rewards, and general disbursements. Payouts appear as Mass Payments in the sender’s PayPal account and are provided with the Mass Payment reports.
Important: To use Payouts, you must request access through your account page. Alternatively, contact your Account Manager or PayPal Customer Support. You must have a PayPal business account.
As in the case of other REST APIs, the Payouts APIs use ISO 8601 as the date format.
The payout batch sections begin at Create a batch or single payout.
URIs
https://api.paypal.com/v1/payments/payouts
https://api.paypal.com/v1/payments/payouts-item
Create a batch or single payout
Operation
POST /v1/payments/payouts
You can make payouts to multiple PayPal accounts or to a single PayPal account.
By default, a payout API call is asynchronous, which means you retrieve the results of the payout at a later time. See Create a batch payout.
If you are submitting a single payout, you can make a synchronous payout call, which immediately returns the results of the payout. In a synchronous payout call, the response is similar to a batch payout status response. To make a synchronous payout, specify sync_mode=true in the URL: /v1/payments/payouts?sync_mode=true
The asynchronous payout mode (sync_mode=false, which is the default) enables a maximum of 500 individual payouts to be specified in one API call. Exceeding 500 payouts in one call returns an HTTP response message with status code 400 (Bad Request).
PayPal prevents duplicate batches from being processed. If you specify a sender_batch_id that was used in the last 30 days, the batch request is rejected with an error message: Batch with given sender_batch_id already exists. The error response includes a HATEOAS link to the original batch payout with the same sender_batch_id. For items, you can specify a sender_item_id. The sender_item_id of an item must be unique within a given batch. If the same sender_item_id is used for more than one item within the same batch, only the first item will be processed; the duplicate items having the same sender_item_id will not be processed.
Note: Payouts does not currently support BN Codes. In a future release of Payouts, BN Codes optionally can be provided in the
PayPal-Partner-Attribution-Idheader of the request. For information about thePayPal-Partner-Attribution-Idheader, see Authentication & Headers. To learn more or to request a BN Code, contact your Partner Manager or visit the following location: PayPal Partner Portal.
Request
Include a sender_batch_header object to describe how the payments in a specified items array are handled.
For the difference between creating a payout asynchronously and creating a payout synchronously, see the information above. The items array in a synchronous call is the same as the items array in an asynchronous call, except that only one item is specified. To make a synchronous payout, specify sync_mode=true in the URL; see Create a single payout.
The recipient_type in the sender_batch_header is the type of identification that can be used for payment receivers. If recipient_type is provided in the sender_batch_header, the payout items without a recipient_type will use the value in the sender_batch_header. If recipient_type is not provided in the sender_batch_header, each payout item must include a value for the recipient_type.
Thus, the recipient_type specifies the type of reciever data you are using to identify the receiver. The allowed values are unencrypted email (EMAIL), unencrypted phone number (PHONE), or encrypted PayPal account number (PAYPAL_ID). Note that the recipient_type of PHONE is not supported in the sandbox.
The items array contains payouts (payments) to individual recipients. Each item in the array has data for a single payout (to a single recipient).
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
sender_batch_header |
sender_batch_header | The original batch header as provided by the payment sender. Required. |
items |
array of payout_item | An array of payout items (that is, a set of individual payouts). Required. |

Response
The asynchronous payout response contains an ID for a newly created batch payout. The ID, returned in the payout_batch_id field, can be used to get the status of a batch payout. The response also contains data about the batch payout resource that was created by the request.
The batch_status will be PENDING if an initial scan (which checks for syntax errors, missing or duplicated keywords, and more) succeeds. Some payout item values (such as the receiver phone numbers) are not immediately validated before a call response is provided.
For information about the response to a synchronous Payout request, see Create a single payout.

Get the status of a batch payout
Operation
GET /v1/payments/payouts/<Payout-Batch-Id>
This call can be used to periodically to get the latest status of a batch, along with the transaction status and other data for individual items.
This call also returns the payout item IDs for the individual items, e.g. for use when you get the status of an individual payout item.
The following table contains the supported values for the retrieved batch status:
| Status value | Description |
|---|---|
| PENDING | The batch is waiting to be processed. |
| PROCESSING | The batch is being processed. |
| DENIED | No batch items will be processed. |
| SUCCESS | The batch has been successfully processed. Note that some batch items may not have been completely processed, e.g. because they are unclaimed, or because they are on hold, or for another reason. |
The following table contains the supported values for the retrieved item transaction status:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| SUCCESS | The item has been successfully processed. |
| DENIED | The item has been denied payment. |
| PENDING | The item is awaiting payment. |
| PROCESSING | The item is being processed. |
| FAILED | Processing failed for the item. |
| UNCLAIMED | The item is unclaimed. If the item is not claimed within 30 days, the funds will be returned to the sender. |
| RETURNED | The item is returned. The funds are returned if the recipient hasn’t claimed them in 30 days. |
| ONHOLD | The item is on hold. |
| BLOCKED | The item is blocked. |
| CANCELLED | It is not possible for the CANCELLED state to occur if the sender is solely using the API to send Payouts. This status is an edge-case if a sender uses both the MassPay web upload and the Payouts API, cancels the web upload, and then uses the API to find the batch/items. In this case, CANCELLED status is possible. |
Request
In the URL, specify the ID of a batch payout. You can use the ID that was returned in the payout_batch_id field when the batch was created.

Get the status of a payout item
Operation
GET /v1/payments/payouts-item/<Payout-Item-Id>
Use this call to get data about a payout item, including the status, without retrieving an entire batch. You can get the status of an individual payout item in a batch in order to review the current status of a previously-unclaimed, or pending, payout item.
For a table with the supported status values, see the transaction status table in the following section: Get the status of a batch payout.
Request
Specify the value of an individual payout ID (that is, a payout item ID). Individual payout IDs were returned in the payout_item_id field in a previous call for getting the status of a batch payout.
Request Sample
curl -v -X GET https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/payments/payouts-item/452345 \
-H "Content-Type:application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <Access-Token>"
Response
Returns a payout_item_details object, which contains data about a payout item, including the transaction status.
A payout_item_id is returned to help you identify denied payments. If a payment is denied, even though it lacks a transaction_id, you can identify the payment with the payout_item_id.

Cancel an unclaimed payout item
Operation
POST /v1/payments/payouts-item/<Payout-Item-Id>/cancel

Vault
PayPal offers merchants a /vault API to store sensitive details like credit card related details.
You can currently use the /vault API to store credit card details with PayPal instead of storing them on your own server. After storing a credit card, you can then pass the credit card id instead of the related credit card details to complete a payment.
For more information, learn about using the /vault API to store a credit card.
Note: Direct credit card payment and related features are restricted in some countries.
