Paypal's new "X" service supposedly fits your needs exactly:

I haven't tried it yet myself, but am keeping an eye on it and would like to hear anyone's experiences.
I am currently working on a project that uses a traditional gateway (Chase/Paymentech) to collect funds, and then uses a payroll payment card provider for payouts. It has pros and cons vs. using Paypal. Biggest plus for us is nearly total control over the process. Biggest customer plus is fast turnaround and immunity from Paypal Purgatory where funds may not get released and you're suddenly at their mercy.
- palmsdev 17y agoThanks, I've read through the Paypal X site https://www.x.com/community/ppx/adaptive_payments https://www.x.com/community/ppx/adaptive_payments The Adaptive Payments / Chained Payments is exactly what I'm talking about, but it requires a redirect to paypal.com for completing transactions. Would using PayPal Website Payments Pro to process and collect funds, then daily PayPal Parallel Payments (multiple payouts to all vendors in one api call), be a reasonable path here? Am I missing a more elegant solution? PayPal vs. Amazon?
- wgj 17y agoI'm not the right person to ask. Maybe your post will get more attention if you specify in the title that you are doing payouts. Payment gateway advice has been asked on HN a million times.
