User Starts from Partner Website Integration

Important: PayPal Provisioning Platform is a limited-release solution available only to select partners at this time. For more information, reach out to your PayPal Account Manager.

When you want to start the user at your Partner website, you can choose different ways to complete the integration. You can either send two separate API calls to first onboard the account information then to add card data, or you can include the account information and card data in a single API call.

Both of these techniques require you to first onboard the user and link their data.

For details on how to add more cards outside the initial integration flow, see Add more cards.

Select how to send the data

To integrate P3 from the partner site, create a consumer referral resource and send the user's card information.

Select one of these two ways to send card information, depending on whether you want customers to be able to start P3 from PayPal:

Integration Technique, Advantage
Integration Technique	Advantage
Use two API calls	PayPal recommends this technique. The integration uses a call to the Consumer Referrals API to send user account data and uses a separate call to the Linked Instruments (Payment Network Transactions API) to send card data. This technique provides more flexibility when integrating the PayPal-initiated P3 flow. This technique can be used when the user originates from either the partner or PayPal site.
Use one API call	The integration sends a single call to the Consumer Referrals API to provide both user and card data. Choose this technique when the partner doesn't want customers to start P3 from PayPal.

Both techniques share the same steps to onboard a user, redirect a user to PayPal, and redirect a user to the partner site. The following sections include flow diagrams and code samples for each integration approach.

Integrate using two API calls

This approach makes a call to the Consumer Referrals API and a separate call to the Linked Instruments (Payment Network Transactions API).

Partner-initiated flow sequence diagram using two API calls

The following diagram illustrates the end-to-end partner-initiated flow using two API calls. The steps listed in the following sections refer to steps in the sequence diagram.

Follow these steps to integrate a partner-initiated flow using two separate API calls.

Redirect user to PayPal

Steps 5-10: After you pass in the referral_id, if Step 4a response returns a 202 success, redirect the user to PayPal for login and consent. Otherwise see API Error codes for a list of the error codes that can be returned here. QUFHSlBOcm...scope_group_provisioning_platform shows how to construct redirect url with referral id, partner return url, state, and scope parameters.

Confirm card to use

Step 11: User opts to Set Preferred Card on PayPal Wallet.

Store user and card

Step 12: PayPal stores User and Card in permanent storage.

Listen to Webhook payload sent to partner

Step 13: Receive webhook payload. In this step,:

B2121XYZ = Echo back the reference_financial_instrument_id sent by partner in Linked Instrument call. The partner_financial_instrument_id = reference_financial_instrument_id.
CC-HFPEET8KTJF9L is the PayPal card identifier needed to make Lifecycle API calls.
"paypal_customer_id": "6PN79VDMX6566" is the PayPal encrypted account number needed for PayPal support.

Return to partner with authorization code

Step 14: Return to the partner using the return URL. In this step, QWF0bmFXZ3d5d0...JJR3d2Yi0= is the Base64-encoded client id : secret value.

Integrate using one API call

This approach sends the user and card data in a single call to the Consumer Referrals API call. This method can be used when the P3 flow initiates from the partner site only.

Partner-initiated flow using a single API call

The following diagram shows the flow in which the Consumer Referrals API combines both the user and card data into a single API call.

Consumer Referral call with user and card data

Steps 3-4: Note that when you use two api calls, the Consumer Referral API call in Step 3 includes just the user payload. When you combine the APIs into a single call, the Consumer Referral API call in Step 3 includes card payload as well as user payload. In this step, A21AAHCQhC6ue2JTf6...

Webhook payload sent to partner

Step 10: In this step,:

"partner_financial_instrument_id": "B2121XYZ" echoes back reference_financial_instrument_id sent by partner in the Linked Instrument call. In this property partner_financial_instrument_id = reference_financial_instrument_id.
"financial_instrument_id": "CC-HFPEET8KTJF9L" is the PayPal card identifier needed to make lifecycle calls.
paypal_customer_id": "6PN79VDMX6566" is the PayPal-encrypted account number needed for PayPal support.

Return to partner with authorization code

Step 13: Use authorization code to return to the partner return URL. In this step, partner-return-url is the redirect url.

See User starts from PayPal if the partner wants users to be able to also start P3 from PayPal in addition to starting from the partner site. It's easier to make this addition if you have already implemented the integrate using two APIs approach.

See Integration Features for optional features you can add to your integrations to enhance the user experience.

Important: PayPal Provisioning Platform is a limited-release solution available only to select partners at this time. For more information, reach out to your PayPal Account Manager.

Both of these techniques require you to first onboard the user and link their data.

For details on how to add more cards outside the initial integration flow, see Add more cards.

Select how to send the data

To integrate P3 from the partner site, create a consumer referral resource and send the user's card information.

Select one of these two ways to send card information, depending on whether you want customers to be able to start P3 from PayPal:

Integration Technique, Advantage
Integration Technique	Advantage
Use two API calls	PayPal recommends this technique. The integration uses a call to the Consumer Referrals API to send user account data and uses a separate call to the Linked Instruments (Payment Network Transactions API) to send card data. This technique provides more flexibility when integrating the PayPal-initiated P3 flow. This technique can be used when the user originates from either the partner or PayPal site.
Use one API call	The integration sends a single call to the Consumer Referrals API to provide both user and card data. Choose this technique when the partner doesn't want customers to start P3 from PayPal.

Integrate using two API calls

This approach makes a call to the Consumer Referrals API and a separate call to the Linked Instruments (Payment Network Transactions API).

Integrate using one API call

This approach sends the user and card data in a single call to the Consumer Referrals API call. This method can be used when the P3 flow initiates from the partner site only.

Partner-initiated flow using a single API call

The following diagram shows the flow in which the Consumer Referrals API combines both the user and card data into a single API call.
