Hi @techtic-harshad , can you give your code snippet and are you trying to integrate with payouts API. "sending amount to the other paypal account by email", is this your need?

Yes(sending amount to the other paypal account by email), i have tried with below code and it returns AUTHORIZATION_ERROR

var sender_batch_id = Math.random().toString(36).substring(9);

            var create_payout_json = {
                "sender_batch_header": {
                    "sender_batch_id": sender_batch_id,
                    "email_subject": "About withdraw"
                },
                "items": [
                    {
                        "recipient_type": "EMAIL",
                        "amount": {
                            "value": 0.99,
                            "currency": "USD"
                        },
                        "receiver": ***@test.com,
                        "note": "Thank you."
                        // "sender_item_id": "item_3"
                    }
                ]
            };

            // var sync_mode = 'true';
            await this.paypal.payout.create(create_payout_json, function (error, payout) {
                if (error) {
                    console.log(error);
                    throw new ApolloError("something went wrong, please try after some time");
                } else {
                    //need to test with below function because not tested yet
                    return {
                        data : payout,
                        message: "Amount successfully sent to your PAYPAL account."
                    }
                }
            });

Prerequisite/basic requirements for a account to do Payouts.

To onboard a merchant to use Payouts, merchant must have

• PayPal business account
• Confirmed email address
• Bank account should be attached to the account (Bank account has to be verified by PayPal)
• CIP verified (for US account) / KYC verified account
• Enable Payouts (masspay) for the account

Hi @techtic-harshad, can you validate if the account which you used fulfill the above mentioned basic requirements?

Thanks! Prakash

[prakash-gangadharan]

@techtic-harshad yes, you can create create test accounts in sandbox.

@prakash-gangadharan

I have created APP for clientId and secretKey from sendbox account.

But, when i tried to call paypal.payout.create, it will return an error(mentioned in https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-node-SDK/issues/437#issuecomment-535013430).
