person-to-person payments

  • Hello!

    I need to create a family reunion style event and believe I should be able to leverage paypal’s Person-to-person feature to track and receive payments (and avoid fees). Has this feature been evaluated?

    I see the api reference lists it fairly simply (paymentType = PERSONAL) and the key/value nature of this plugin’s paypal implementation should make it pretty easy to add.

    I’m not a php programmer, but i am a computer engineer and would be willing to donate/help if I had some guidance on the plugin, adding features and submitting them!

    Thanks all!

    As a global test I added the following code to the 3 files

    $p->add_field('state', $state);
$p->add_field('zip', $zip);

//added to change payment to "person-to-person"
$p->add_field('paymentType', 'PERSONAL');
$p->add_field('feesPayer', 'EACHRECEIVER');

$p->submit_paypal_post($pay_now); // submit the fields to paypal
		if ($company_options['use_sandbox'] == "Y") {
			$p->dump_fields(); // for debugging, output a table of all the fields
			}

    and see paymentType and feesPayer both show up in the dump and webscr form data – but for some reason on the paypal sandbox side fees are still deducted. I’m unsure where to look in the sandbox seller account to see DIDITALGOODS vs SERVICE vs PERSONAL so I’m not sure where it is breaking
