Buyers
Associate a PayPal account to a buyer
Associate a PayPal account to a customer record.
There are a few ways to associate a PayPal account with a buyer.
Associate by buyer_id
The easiest way to associate a buyer with a PayPal account is to pass along a
buyer_id
when creating a PayPal account.
This will find a buyer with that id
and associate the PayPal account with it. If
a buyer with that id
could not be found it’s ignored.
curl -i -X POST "https://api.example.gr4vy.app/payment-methods" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer [JWT_TOKEN]" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"method": "paypal",
"redirect_url": "https://example.com/callback",
"buyer_id": "fe26475d-ec3e-4884-9553-f7356683f7f9"
}'
Associate by buyer_external_identifier
Alternatively, a PayPal account can be associated with a buyer by using it’s
external_identifier
. If a buyer with that external_identifier
could not be
found it’s ignored.
curl -i -X POST "https://api.example.gr4vy.app/payment-methods" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer [JWT_TOKEN]" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"method": "paypal",
"redirect_url": "https://example.com/callback",
"buyer_external_identifier": "412231123"
}'
