Send Bulk Invoices

send_bulk_invoices

Full Description

Sends multiple PayPal invoices in bulk with concurrent processing.

IMPORTANT: This action is irreversible — once sent, invoices are delivered to recipients via email. Do NOT call this tool without first displaying the list of invoice IDs to the user and receiving explicit confirmation to proceed. Confirm send options (recipient/invoicer) with the user as well.

NOTE: Default send_to_recipient is true and if an invoice has no primary_recipients (i.e. was created without a recipient email), PayPal will return a MISSING_RECIPIENT_EMAIL error for that invoice. That invoice will be marked as failed in the results.

Parameters (1 required)

Required

bodyobject

Bulk invoice send request. Send options apply to all invoices in the batch.

send_invoice

send_invoice

Full Description

Opens an interactive form to send a PayPal invoice to recipients via email. Call this tool ONCE to display the form - the user will fill in the details directly in the UI. If the user says 'send the last invoice' or 'send the last created invoice', call this tool WITHOUT an invoice_id — the form auto-fills the most recently created invoice. Only pass invoice_id when the user provides a specific ID. Never pass placeholder values like '__last__' or field references. The tool response text does not echo back a resolved invoice_id for you to re-read — the form itself is what shows the correct value to the user. Do NOT call this tool a second time to 'fill in' or verify the invoice_id; one call is always sufficient, even if the returned text does not visibly contain the ID.

Parameters (1 required)

Required

bodyobject

JSON body containing send invoice details. All fields are optional except invoice_id when sending.

show_payment_link_status

show_payment_link_status

Full Description

View status and details of a specific payment link. Call this tool to display the status of the payment link.

Parameters (1 required)

Required

bodyobject

JSON body containing payment link ID.
