Country and Region Codes
To specify PayPal-supported countries and regions in request URI and body parameters, use two-character IS0-3166-1 country codes.
Direct credit card payments
PayPal accepts buyer credit cards issued in any country. However, the merchant must have a Pro UK merchant account with PayPal to process PayPal REST API direct credit card payments. This account type is the only supported merchant account type for REST API direct credit card payments. For details, see supported currencies.
PayPal account payments
The REST APIs support many countries for PayPal account payments if you have a business account. For country-specific offerings and limitations, see PayPal Offerings Worldwide and visit your country-specific site.
