This tutorial explains how to make a mass payment using PayPal.
Mass payment can be sent via any normal PayPal account. It gives you flexibility to send payments to 5000 receivers at a time.
The data for the mass payment can either be uploaded using a csv (comma seperated value) file or a tab delimited file. Other than that, mass payment can also be made through the data submitted using api to PayPal.
To make a mass payment through PayPal, follow these steps:
1. Login to your PayPal account
2. Goto Send mass payment page
To goto the mass payment page, click on Send Money in the top menu and in the next page, from submenu on top menu, click Make a Mass Payment to goto the mass payment page.
3. Create and upload the csv file
To create the csv file, simply open a file in notepad and enter the information in it in this fashion:
email id,amount,currency,identifier,message
Repeat this info on each line for each payment. For example:
paypal@domain.com,10.00,USD,00934,thank you for your payment
Once the file is created, upload it to the page we just opened in the previous step. Once the file is uploaded and verified by PayPal, send the mass payment to the receivers!
