Paypal API MassPay for 1 user

Question

Any problem in use MassPay to pay 1 user payment? Any disavantage about that? What should i use instead mass pay for single payments?

I see that paypal forum is dead so im aking here.

Answer 1

MassPay is fine. If you're already using Adaptive Payments, you could also use Implicit Payments. But if you're not, MassPay suits just fine.

Answer 2

In simple terms Masspay allows you to make multiple payments to multiple people in a single shot using xls or csv files.

If you are just paying a single user:

PayPal provides various payment related operations using the /payment resource and related sub-resources. Use /payment for direct credit card payments and PayPal account payments.

URI: https://api.paypal.com/v1/payments/payment

Create a payment: POST /v1/payments/payment

Answer 3

MassPay works fine with single or multiple payments. It makes payment more flexible.
