Set Funding Sources to Confirmed Status
If you call the AddBankAccount or AddPaymentCard methods, you can use the
SetFundingSourceConfirmed method to set the created funding source to “confirmed”. In
certain instances, this will cause the PayPal account status to be set to Verified.
Verifying the Status of a PayPal Account
A huge challenge that merchants face today is fraud. The GetVerifiedStatus method is a
great way to help PayPal merchants reduce the loss of profits due to fraud.
It works like this: Before a PayPal merchant engages in a transaction, the application sends a
GetVerifiedStatus request. This request contains specific criteria you want to match, such
as the PayPal account holder’s email address. The Adaptive Accounts web service responds
with a message that indicates if the match was verified. This provides an effective method of
reducing fraud. With the GetVerifiedStatus method, merchants have the security of
knowing that consumers’ PayPal accounts are verified before completing a transaction.
Account Creation Flow
For account creation on the web, call CreateAccount and use the redirect URL to direct the
person’s browser to PayPal. After the person creates an account, the browser is redirected to
the return URL you specified in the CreateAccount request.
The following diagram shows the basic flow of control for account creation on the web:
