Paypal Express Checkout as in Shopify

[zorrothekid]

Hi all,
I'm successfully using Paypal Express Checkout in a marketplace web
app passing for every seller the three parameters to the
PaypalExpressGateway (login, password and signature).
So, I see that Shopify lets the seller set only the e-mail address of
the Paypal account requesting to grant scott_api1.jadedpixel.com as
the API Partner Username.

I could't find anything in the ActiveMerchant doc on how I can do
it...Someone can help?

Thanks a lot,
ZTK

You use your application's PayPal API credentials and you pass the
merchant's PayPal account email in with the :subject option when
instantiating the gateway:

gateway = ActiveMerchant::Billing::PaypalExpressGateway.new(
:login => 'your apps login',
:password => 'your apps password',
:signature => 'your apps signature',
:subject => 'merc...@example.com'
)

They have to have granted your account the appropriate permissions
previously, unless you're using PayPal Express Accelerated Boarding.
It is a bit more involved, but works around having everyone grant
their API permissions to you up front:

Thanks Cody, I see the point and I'll try also with the Accelerated
Boarding feature.
Will write here in case of some issues...

Bye,
