Batch Paypal Payments

Question

How can we send a paypal payment with a script?

For example, if I have a site where users share in the profit and instead of sending each users payment out manually at the end of the month, I would like to automate this with code, preferably django / python. How should I do this?

Answer 1

Yes. You can have a look at the following link :  https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/howto_api_masspay

Basically you use the mass-pay API call. However, even though it's called mass pay, I believe you can send payments to just one person with it.
