About XMLPay
XMLPay specifies an XML syntax for payment requests and associated responses in a
payment-processing network. Instead of using name/value pairs, the Payflow SDK allows the
use of XML documents based on XMLPay 2.0 schema.
The typical user of XMLPay is an internet merchant or merchant aggregator who wants to
dispatch credit card or other payment requests to a financial processing network.
Using the data type definitions specified by XMLPay, such a user creates a client payment
request and dispatches it in the same fashion as using name/value pairs to an associated
XMLPay-compliant server component. Responses are also formatted in XML and convey the
results of the payment requests to the client.
Payflow Pro XMLPay Developer’s Guide
Payflow Pro XMLPay Developer’s Guide defines an XML syntax for payment transaction
requests, responses, and receipts in a payment processing network.
You may obtain a copy of this document from the PayPal Manager Documentation page.
N OTE: For specific examples of how to submit XML documents using the Payflow client API,
see the Payflow SDK Download package.
