Can someone's Venmo/PayPal balance be approved to show up in a 3rd party app?
If I create my own app, can I get a user to authenticate their Venmo/PayPal OR allow access to their Venmo/PayPal, so that their balance shows up on their account on my app?
I want to be able to pay users within my app, and have their Venmo/PayPal balance reflect that change. Without them needing to leave my app to check their Venmo / PayPal app to see if the payment arrived.
- andrewfromx 3y agooh this is a https://plaid.com/ https://plaid.com/ use case I think
- elliewithcolor 3y agoOr any of the other like 500 Banking as a Service company’s :D
- KomoD 3y agoIsn't that just for banks though? And not Venmo & PayPal?

- ashraful 3y agoYou can use PayPal's API to get the balance assuming the user authenticates: https://developer.paypal.com/api/limited-release/balance-accounts/v2/ https://developer.paypal.com/api/limited-release/balance-acc... Venmo might have a similar API: https://venmo.com/docs/users/ https://venmo.com/docs/users/ (this shows a access_balance permission). Not familiar with it though. PayPal's API also provide you with their transactions to search through so you might be able to actually verify/highlight your payment directly.
