Direct merchant tutorial

This tutorial is for a developer integrating one business directly with Maxana. The business signs up with Maxana, uses its own dashboard, connects its own PayPal account, and owns the API key used by its server.

The complete path is:

  1. Create the business’s Maxana account and finish its business profile.
  2. Connect that business’s PayPal account.
  3. Take its merchant API key.
  4. Create a checkout session.
  5. Add the buyer checkout.
  6. Receive payment webhooks.
  7. Issue refunds.

The merchant’s own team completes the account and PayPal steps in the Maxana dashboard. Your server starts calling the Public API only after the account has a connected provider and an active merchant key.

Current limits

Section titled “Current limits”

There is no Public API operation for creating a direct merchant account or completing its dashboard setup. A channel credential is not a shortcut into this flow: it belongs to the separate channel tutorial and is rejected by merchant-only self-service operations.
