Send money

Dollars first, because that is what PayPal settles in. Name the recipient and set an amount; the recipient goes into the order before anything is authorized, so the money can only land on the account you named.

Send PYUSD to a PayPal account

Stablecoin out of your balance, to another PayPal account, still PYUSD on arrival. It is pegged one to one with the dollar, so there is no rail in between and nothing to convert.

Who gets the money

The recipient must have a PayPal account. In this sandbox that means one of your test accounts from the developer dashboard — any other address is refused when the payment is authorized.

No conversion — this rail moves PYUSD as PYUSD, so the two figures are the same number by construction, not by assumption.

Drafting writes the order and its recipient. It does not move or reserve anything.
