Important: The PayPal Batch API is available as a limited-release API to select merchants and partners. Use this API to make batch requests to the /v2/checkout/orders, v1/payments/payment, and /v2/payments endpoints.

Use the Batch API to submit multiple REST API calls in a single batch request to the server. The batch request is a single HTTP request that combines an array of batch operations.

This API improves performance because the client makes fewer REST API calls, and the PayPal server responds to multiple REST API calls with a single response.

The PayPal Batch API enables you to consolidate these common requests in a single Batch API request:

Batch request	Related operation
Capture payments for multiple authorized payments or orders.	Capture an authorized payment Capture payment for an order
Refund multiple transactions.	Refund multiple captured payments Process refunds against captured orders
Create, partially update, and show details for a payment or an order.	Create, partially update, and show details for a payment Create, partially update, and show details for an order

Note: PayPal's batch framework is based on the IETF SCIM specification, which incorporates the best practices in the industry to implement batch through REST APIs.
