Usually with PayPal we buy goods and services by sending money from customer to business.

Now, I want my business to pay my customers; I want to allow them to withdraw money from a virtual wallet on my website.

I did notice there is an 'Adaptive Payments API' which mentioned something vaguely similar to this, but I haven't been able to search up enough information to come to any conclusion.

So is it possible to send money from business to customer (autonomously) with PayPal? If not, are there any alternatives?
