• Use Postman to explore and test PayPal APIs.

1. Create order

Copy the following code and modify it.

Sample request

10    "value": "100.00"
11  },
12  "payee": {

14  },
15  "payment_instruction": {

Modify the code

• Change BN-Code to your PayPal Partner Attribution ID.
• Use the purchase_units/payee object to specify the end receiver of the funds.
• Use the purchase_units/payment_instruction/disbursement_mode field to specify when funds should be disbursed to the payee upon calling capture order.
• Use the purchase_units/payment_instruction/platform_fees array to specify fees for the order. You must onboard your seller with the PARTNER_FEE feature to use this array.
