Multiple receiverEmail

[wang-jotform]

I am going to use dynamic receipt email in Paypal id.
Is it possible to use multiple email address in Paypal SDK?

@wang-jotform, Dave from PayPal here.

I don't understand your question. Could you please explain your situation in a bit more detail, including why you would want to use more than a single email address?

[wang-jotform]

Sure.
I am going to paste some code in Paypal SDK and there is comment for "receiverEmail"
It seems to say that i have to use only email address used to login in to developer.paypal.com

// Get a client id from developer.paypal.com. The receiverEmail is the email address
// associated with the PayPal account that you used to log in to developer.paypal.com.

• (id)initWithClientId:(NSString *)clientId
  receiverEmail:(NSString *)payPalAccountEmailAddress
  payerId:(NSString *)payerId
  payment:(PayPalPayment *)payment
  delegate:(id)delegate;

I want to also send payment other paypal accounts.
Is it possible?
Will it work if i put other paypal account in "receiverEmail"?

@wang-jotform I understand now -- thanks.

At this time you can only send payments to your own developer account. The ability to direct the funds to a third party will probably be added in the future, but I don't have a date estimate for you.

@wang-jotform you got me curious, so I've just tried a couple of experiments.

In fact, changing the receiverEmail does seem to work for me, on both Sandbox and Live.

My understanding, though, is that this is not currently an officially supported configuration. Therefore I would not advise you to rely on this approach for now.

@dgoldman-ebay is correct that this is not a supported configuration. This will not work for credit card payments. Those transactions will be deposited in the account that owns the client_id.

What is the current suggestion for doing an adaptive chained payment within ios? The MPL is deprecated and the REST API doesn't support a chained payment and therefore neither does the iOS SDK. Is there a preferred option?

[dgoldman-pdx]

@lsmolic Although it has been deprecated and is not undergoing active development, MPL remains a viable option for you to use at this time.

Sorry, @folivi. Nothing new to report at this time.
