How do I use Express Checkout with Reference Transactions?

We require that you create a token, initiate a Billing Agreement API call, and then reference the Billing Agreement ID to initiate payment.

To use Express Checkout with Reference Transactions, follow these steps:

  1. Set up the token using a SetExpress Checkout API request call.
  2. Initiate a CreateBillingAgreement API call.
  3. Reference the Billing Agreement ID in the API response to initiate a payment using the DoReferenceTransaction API call.
