Implementing Parallel Payments

Integrating Parallel Payments by Using the SOAP API

Result:

For each payment in the transaction, the DoExpressCheckoutPayment response returns a

PaymentInfoType structure corresponding to each payment:

 The PaymentRequestID will match the value you passed in the

DoExpressCheckoutPayment request. Use this value to locate the response data for

each payment.

 SellerDetailsType.PayPalAccountId returns one of the following values that was

passed in:

– The merchant’s email address

– The merchant’s Payer ID (secure merchant account ID)

If errors occur, check the response data in the PaymentInfo.PaymentError field.

PaymentError returns the ErrorType information. It is possible that errors are returned

only for a subset of payments, while other payments are successful. For failed payments, you

should ask the buyer for an alternate payment method.

The following SOAP example sets up the merchants receiving funds:

PaymentDetailsType[] PaymentDetailsArray = new PaymentDetailsType[9];

//*******************************************************

//merchant 1

//*******************************************************

PaymentDetailsType payment1 = new PaymentDetailsType();

payment1.PaymentAction = PaymentActionCodeType.Order;

payment1.PaymentActionSpecified = true;

payment1.SellerDetails = new SellerDetailsType();

payment1.SellerDetails.PayPalAccountID = "support@1stimagehosting.com";

//set up the line items for the first merchant

PaymentDetailsItemType[] payment1_items_array =

new PaymentDetailsItemType[2];

PaymentDetailsItemType payment1_item1 = new PaymentDetailsItemType();

payment1_item1.Amount = new B asicAmountType();

payment1_item1.Amount.currencyID = CurrencyCodeType.USD;

payment1_item1.Amount.Value = "1.00";

payment1_item1.Description = "payment1_item1_desc";

payment1_item1.Name = "payment1_item1_name";

payment1_item1.Number = "payment1_item1_number";

payment1_item1.ItemURL = "http://item1.com";

payment1_item1.Quantity = "3";

payment1_item1.Tax = new BasicAmountType();

payment1_item1.Tax.currencyID = CurrencyCodeType.USD;

payment1_item1.Tax.Value = ".50";

PaymentDetailsItemType payment1_item2 = new PaymentDetailsItemType();

payment1_item2.Amount = new BasicAmountType();

payment1_item2.Amount.currencyID = CurrencyCodeType.USD;

payment1_item2.Amount.Value = "1.00";

payment1_item2.Description = "payment1_item2_desc";

payment1_item2.Name = "payment1_item2_name";
