Simple, Parallel, and Chained Payments
Simple payments have a single recipient. Parallel and chained payments have multiple recipients
and differ in the how the payments are split.
Simple Payments
Simple payments use the
PayPalPayment
object, which supports a payment to only a single
recipient.
Parallel Payments
Parallel Payments allow you to make payments for any amount to any number of recipients. A
parallel payment is created by making a payment to multiple recipients with no primary
recipient. From the end-user's standpoint, a parallel payment will affect the UI by showing the
details for each recipient. Contrary to chained payments, the recipients of a parallel payment are
not linked together in terms of amount.
