PayPal API
PayPal REST API for payment processing, subscription management, and invoice automation. Agents create invoices, process refunds, manage subscriptions, and receive webhook notifications for payment events in commerce-enabled agent workflows.
Solid choice for most workflows
You need to accept one-time payments, manage recurring subscriptions, or automate invoicing and refunds in your agent's commerce workflows without building payments from scratch.
Reliable for global payments with broad currency/method support; expect token expiry management and sandbox testing quirks before live deployment.
Your agent handles event-driven commerce like order fulfillment or subscription changes, but lacks real-time payment status updates.
Fast, reliable webhooks with comprehensive event coverage; occasional retry logic needed for delivery failures.
PayPal Business Account
Required to generate live client credentials and process real payments; sandbox available for testing but live transactions need verified business account.
Access Token Expiry
Tokens expire in ~30 minutes; failing to refresh causes 401 errors—implement auto-refresh logic using client ID/secret before each API call.
