Paypal Batch Payout behavior on item error - paypal

Question

With the batch payout API for Paypal, if I send a request with multiple items and there is an error with one of them, will the ones without an error still go through? Or will they all fail?
For example, if I sent a payload of:
{
"sender_batch_header": {
"sender_batch_id": "batch_8",
"email_subject": "You have a payment"
},
"items": [
{
"recipient_type": "EMAIL",
"amount": {
"value": 1.0,
"currency": "USD"
},
"receiver": "test_user#example.com",
"note": "Thank you.",
"sender_item_id": "item_1"
},
{
"recipient_type": "EMAIL",
"amount": {
"value": 1.0,
"currency": "USD"
},
"receiver": "bad_email_address",
"note": "Thank you.",
"sender_item_id": "item_1"
}]
}
Will the payout to test_user#example.com go through since the other item has an invalid email address?
Thanks

Answer 1

If you use
"receiver": "bad_email_address",
PayPal will throw out error as "bad_email_address" is not in email format, the whole payout can't go through, no money sent out.
If you use
"receiver": "bad_email_address#email.com",
The email address is not existed, but it's email format, the whole payment will go through, existed PayPal receiver will get the money, this un-existed email transaction will in Unclaimed status. If someone register this email address, then this person will get the money.
