Linking to a PayPal Transaction Page ⛓

This is a follow up to PayPal Transaction Pages aren't Linkable. We figured out a way to build this feature!

When you process a PayPal transaction with the SDK (i.e. as a seller), you get a token that could be considered a transaction ID. It is something like a primary key on an object that is the parent to several other transactions: the seller's transaction, any currency conversions, etc.

With this ID in hand, you can link to the seller's dashboard and see a summary of this parent transaction. It's not a documented feature, so the link could be broken at any time.

Thanks for sticking with me, PayPal support.
