Adaptive Account Changes Corresponding to PayPal Version
62.2
The 62.2 release included the following new features:
Ability to create business accounts
Adding bank accounts as funding sources
Account verification
Creating Business Accounts
You can now use the CreateAccount API to create PayPal Business accounts. To this end,
the CreateAccountRequest message lets you pass a new parameter, businessInfoType.
Adding Bank Accounts
This release provides the AddBankAccount API, which lets your application link the PayPal
account to a bank account as the funding source.
Verifying Accounts
Adaptive Accounts now provides a new API, GetVerifiedStatus. This API lets you check
the PayPal account status. PayPal accounts can be verified or unverified. A PayPal account
gains verified status under a variety of circumstances, such as when an account is linked to a
verified funding source. Verified status serves to indicate to PayPal that there is a history of
payment. For more information about account verified status, refer to PayPal.com.
