Chained Payments
A chained payment is a payment from a sender that is indirectly split among multiple
receivers. It is an extension of a typical payment from a sender to a receiver, in which a
receiver, known as the primary receiver, passes part of the payment to other receivers, who are
called secondary receivers.
NOTE: The API caller must get permission from PayPal to use chained payments.
You can have at most one primary receiver and 1-5 secondary receivers. Chained payments are
useful in cases when the primary receiver acts as an agent for other receivers. The sender deals
only with the primary receiver and does not know about the secondary receivers, including
how a payment is split among receivers. The following example shows a sender making a
payment of $100:
