MassPay API
The MassPay API is the programmatic counterpart to the Mass Payment feature available
through the PayPal website. You can include up to 250 payments per MassPayRequest. You
must have a PayPal balance in each currency in which you want to make a payment and have
sufficient funds to cover the entire Mass Payment amount and fee. You cannot mix currencies
in the same MassPayRequest; a separate request is required for each currency.
The posting of payment transactions to individual recipient accounts is not handled by the
MassPay API but by a separate PayPal process.
Instant Payment Notification
The MassPay API triggers the sending of an Instant Payment Notification email to the
recipient of the funds.
