PayPal NVP/SOAP API SDKs
Last updated: Sept 18th, 6:51pm
Important: NVP/SOAP is a legacy integration method. We accept new integrations and support existing integrations, but there are newer solutions. If you're starting an integration, we recommend our latest solutions.
PayPal offers NVP/SOAP APIs to help you create a payments solution that meets your specific needs. To better serve developers, PayPal offers SDKs for the most popular platforms and languages to simplify integrations. For more detailed information, access the links provided to the SDKs in the following sections.
You can choose to use a PayPal SDK instead of creating messages as NVP strings or SOAP structures. These SDKs enable you to code in your preferred programming language, such as Java, PHP, and Ruby. The SDKs also let you focus on building your application business logic using clean service interfaces.
For the following APIs, you can directly access the SDK resource:
| NVP/SOAP API | SDK resource |
|---|---|
| Express Checkout | Merchant PHP SDK |
| Invoicing | Invoicing .Net SDK |
