Begins a PayPal authorization by running the ordinary store authorize flow, since the route binds that exact handler — body, store resolution, tally, reservations and failure behaviour are the authorize address's, unchanged. The processor is chosen from the body's payment type, so this path reaches PayPal only when that type says so. A successful PayPal authorization stamps a pay key onto the payment, which is the key the confirm and cancel addresses filter on. Build against the plain authorize address instead.

## Request

1 field.

| Field     | In   | Type   | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | ------ | -------- | ----------- |
| `storeid` | path | string | yes      |             |

## Response

The document declares no response body for this operation. It answers `200` on success and the platform error shape on failure — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors).

## Examples

**CLI**

```bash
hanzo commerce store checkout paypal pay <storeid>
```

**SDK**

**.ts**

```ts
import { Configuration, CommerceApi } from 'hanzoai';

const api = new CommerceApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.postCommerceStoreByStoreidCheckoutPaypalPay({ storeid: 'storeid' });
```

**.py**

```python
from hanzoai.cloud import ApiClient, Configuration
from hanzoai.cloud.api import CommerceApi

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = CommerceApi(client).post_commerce_store_by_storeid_checkout_paypal_pay(storeid='storeid')
```

**.go**

```go
cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration()
cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"))
client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg)

resp, _, err := client.CommerceAPI.PostCommerceStoreByStoreidCheckoutPaypalPay(context.Background()).Execute()
if err != nil {
	return err
}
```

**.rs**

```rust
use hanzo_client::apis::{configuration::Configuration, commerce_api};

let mut cfg = Configuration::new();
cfg.bearer_access_token = std::env::var("HANZO_API_KEY").ok();

let result = commerce_api::post_commerce_store_by_storeid_checkout_paypal_pay(&cfg, Default::default()).await?;
```

**.java**

```java
import ai.hanzo.cloud.ApiClient;
import ai.hanzo.cloud.api.CommerceApi;

ApiClient client = new ApiClient();
client.setBearerToken(System.getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"));

var result = new CommerceApi(client).postCommerceStoreByStoreidCheckoutPaypalPay();
```

**HTTP**

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/commerce/store/<storeid>/checkout/paypal/pay \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY"
```

**MCP**

MCP reaches **commerce** through the `commerce` tool, which names its 5 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. `describe` explains any of them:

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,
       "method": "tools/call",
       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "get_commerce_health"
         }
       }
     }'
```
