FAQ

What does the PayPal Payouts API plugin do?
It integrates the PayPal Payouts API into your Bubble app, enabling you to send payments to recipients via their PayPal email addresses.

Do I need to request anything from PayPal before using the plugin?
Yes. You must have the PayPal Payouts feature enabled on your account—this must be requested from PayPal directly for the plugin to work properly.

How do I initiate a payout?
Once installed, you can use the “Make Payouts” workflow action. It supports both Sandbox and Live environments for testing or production use.

How are payouts authenticated?
You generate access tokens through the plugin by providing your PayPal Client ID and Secret Key; these tokens are needed to authorize each payout API call.

Can I test before going live?
Absolutely. The plugin supports both Sandbox mode (for testing) and Live mode for real transactions.

What happens if something goes wrong?
The plugin does not automatically handle errors beyond the API call; you’ll need to manage error handling and fallback workflows in your Bubble app.

Where can I get help or report issues?
Support is available—reach out to the plugin team via their support email if you have questions, suggestions, or encounter bugs.

Challenge getting Live to work
June 21st, 2025
I could only get this plugin to work in the Sandbox. In Live I get an error 400 “MALFORMED_REQUEST_JSON” I contacted Zeroqode and they promptly responded to help out (as they always do) but I had already built my own API, because I need both Paypal and Venmo for payouts

Vaporware. It doesn't work.
August 19th, 2021
I wish this plugin worked. I really do. Would have saved a lot of time from writing the custom code. Here are the problems with this plugin: 1. It doesn't work 2. The demo doesn't tell you anything 3. There are numerous typos in the Actions that add a lot of confusion to the interface. 4. 0 options to customize. (not that it matters as this plugin doesn't work)
