Parallel payment example
In this example, the sender makes a payment of $100 to a PayPal-registered receiver and $50
to another PayPal-registered receiver. If an error occurs, all funds are returned to the sender
whether or not the funds were transferred to a receiver.
NOTE: The sample code below uses the insecure setting to work around the certificate for
testing in a sandbox environment. For actual implementations, you must specify the
location of the certificate.
