Is it possible to sell some non-physical product and get its payment directly into your personal paypal account? Has anyone did something like this?
It is certainly possible, and actually very easy. What kind of integration are you looking for? Maybe one of the buttons at http://www.paypal.com/buttons would be a good start for you.
Here is a sample of a VERY Simple checkout Script using REST API (Client Side Only Code)
First add this line to "head" of your HTML page:
{
<script src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-
id=YOUR USER ID GOES HEREg&disable-funding=credit,card"></script>
}
Then add this to where you want your PayPal Button(s) to be on your HTML Page:
'<div style="width:30%" id="paypal-button-container"><p style="font-size:small">
<b>Checkout using your PayPal Acount <br>
or if you do not have a PayPal Account, you can pay with your Debit or Credit
Card (option at bottom of Pop-up Window).</b></p></div>
<script>
// Render the PayPal button into #paypal-button-container
paypal.Buttons({
onError: function (err) {
alert('An Error Occured, returning you to the Form. Please Check that you
are not submitting a Zero Amount and have Filled out the Form');
},
style: {
layout: 'horizontal',
color: 'gold',
shape: 'pill',
label: 'checkout',
size: 'responsive',
tagline: 'true',
},
// Set up the transaction
createOrder: function(data, actions) {
return actions.order.create({
purchase_units: [{
description: 'GnG Order',
amount: {
value: cartTotal
}
}]
});
},
// Finalize the transaction
onApprove: function(data, actions) {
return actions.order.capture().then(function(details) {
// Show a success message to the buyer
alert('Transaction completed by ' + details.payer.name.given_name +
'!');
});
if (details.error === 'INSTRUMENT_DECLINED') {
return actions.restart();
};
}
}).render('#paypal-button-container');
</script>'
That should do it for you. Be sure to login to the Developer Panel to set up your API credentials.

I am trying to redirect customers to an error page for my website if their card cannot be processed. It not working and all I can get is the standard PayPal alert that says "Things don't appear to be working at the moment."
What confuses me especially is that I have a redirect page for purchase approval that IS working correctly in the onApprove function (seen below).
PayPal JavaScript SDK says this is the code to redirect customers to a customer URL:
paypal.Buttons({
onError: function (err) {
// For example, redirect to a specific error page
window.location.href = "/your-error-page-here";
}
}).render('#paypal-button-container');
This is what my onError function looks like:
onError: function (err) {
//My Redirect Page
window.location.href = "https://www.fitnessbydylan.com/error-page.html";
}
This is my full Javascript for my PayPal button.
<script>
function initPayPalButton() {
paypal.Buttons({
style: {
shape: 'rect',
color: 'gold',
layout: 'vertical',
label: 'paypal',
},
createOrder: function(data, actions) {
return actions.order.create({
purchase_units: [{"description":"1 MONTH DIGITAL COACHING","amount":{"currency_code":"USD","value":0.06,"breakdown":{"item_total":{"currency_code":"USD","value":0.06},"shipping":{"currency_code":"USD","value":0},"tax_total":{"currency_code":"USD","value":0.00}}}}]
});
},
onApprove: function(data, actions) {
return actions.order.capture().then(function(details) {
// Simulate a mouse click:
window.location.href = "http://www.fitnessbydylan.com/purchase-page.html";
alert('Transaction completed by ' + details.payer.name.given_name + '!');
});
},
onError: function (err) {
// My Redirect Page
window.location.href = "https://www.fitnessbydylan.com/error-page.html";
},
}).render('#paypal-button-container');
}
initPayPalButton();
</script>
onError is only triggered when there is a technical problem with loading or using the buttons, which is a very rare situation. It is not triggered for card processing problems.
I would like to:
Have the user log into paypal
Fetch the users information (billing&shipping addresses)
Then calculate the shipping fee
Place the payment
But, how can I receive the address and calculate the fee before I place the payment?
<script>
paypal.Button.render({
// Configure environment
env: '<?php echo $paypal->paypalEnv; ?>',
client: {
sandbox: '<?php echo $paypal->paypalClientID; ?>',
production: '<?php echo $paypal->paypalClientID; ?>'
},
// Customize button (optional)
locale: 'de_DE',
style: {
size: 'small',
color: 'gold',
shape: 'rect',
},
// Set up a payment
payment: function (data, actions) {
return actions.payment.create({
transactions: [{
amount: {
total: '10',
currency: 'EUR'
}
}]
});
},
// Execute the payment
onAuthorize: function (data, actions) {
return actions.payment.execute()
.then(function () {
window.location = "process.php?paymentID="+data.paymentID+"&token="+data.paymentToken+"&payerID="+data.payerID+"&pid=<?php echo $productID; ?>";
});
}
}, '#paypal-button');
</script>
Instead of "return actions.payment.execute()" calling the execute directly, I would like to fetch the address, then show the final basket with all the costs and then click on "pay now" - how can I do this?
Your sample is an older version of PayPal's checkout.js
Start by switching to the latest version of the PayPal Checkout: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/
Demo of client-side pattern: https://developer.paypal.com/demo/checkout/#/pattern/client
In the onApprove function, you can use the data object to get the address and do Javascript calculations about adding shipping before the capture() call with a modified total.
If you want to do the calculations on your server rather than in Javascript (more secure/reliable), use a server-side pattern:
https://developer.paypal.com/demo/checkout/#/pattern/server
thank you! mhhh okay but what has to be in the serverside part? i dont see any example of the actions to receive the buyers adress information before checkout and afterwards. ?
/demo/checkout/api/paypal/order/create
I use HostedFields for credit card and paypal web for paypal.
So inside of braintree.client.create i have braintree.hostedFields.create and braintree.paypalCheckout.create.
Code example of paypal:
braintree.paypalCheckout.create({
client: clientInstance
}, function (paypalCheckoutErr, paypalCheckoutInstance) {
if (paypalCheckoutErr) {
console.error('Error creating PayPal Checkout:', paypalCheckoutErr);
return;
}
paypal.Button.render({
env: 'sandbox',
commit: true,
buttonStyle: {
color: 'blue',
shape: 'rect',
size: 'medium'
},
payment: function () {
return paypalCheckoutInstance.createPayment({
flow: 'checkout',
locale: ''+langanalytics+'',
amount: '10.00',
currency: 'EUR'
});
},
onAuthorize: function (data, actions) {
return paypalCheckoutInstance.tokenizePayment(data, function (err, payload) {
document.getElementById("paynonce").value = payload.nonce;
document.getElementById("paymentform").submit();
});
},
onCancel: function (data) {
console.log('checkout.js payment cancelled', JSON.stringify(data, 0, 2));
},
onError: function (err) {
console.error('checkout.js error', err);
}
}, '#paypal-button').then(function () {
});
});
The problem is according to my client he want a single page checkout, where the amount get generated dynamically.
For example if someone change the country or payment method the price can change for some €. A click EventListener start the calculation and changes the total sum in real time.
My Problem:
I cant change the amount of my paypal intialization of this part:
return paypalCheckoutInstance.createPayment({
flow: 'checkout',
locale: ''+langanalytics+'',
amount: '10.00',
currency: 'EUR'
});
Is there any way to update the amount outsite of the function as soon as total sum changes (i have full control of this).
I already tried to intialize the whole braintree.client.create new on total sum change but i get errors from hosted fields a instance is already created and for paypal i recieve multiple buttons.
I want to accept payment in Multiple currencies & also autofill the Address/Name in PayPal form using Express Checkout method
I have tried going through various posts, paypal getting started, paypal community, but not able to find if it possible.
Currently, using Express Checkout I'm able to receive payment on changing the get parameter of the script.
<script src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=valueOfClientID¤cy=GBP"> </script>
Is is possible to pass the currency & name/address details in below code?
<script>
paypal.Buttons({
createOrder: function(data, actions) {
return actions.order.create({
purchase_units: [{
amount: {
value: '24'
}
}]
});
},
onApprove: function(data, actions) {
return actions.order.capture().then(function(details) {
alert('Transaction completed by ' + details.payer.name.given_name);
// Call your server to save the transaction
return fetch('/paypal-transaction-complete', {
method: 'post',
headers: {
'content-type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
orderID: data.orderID
})
});
});
}
}).render('#paypal-button-container');
</script>
Based on the currency dynamically inject the script to the page and pass the address object as mentioned in the link
I'm trying to integrate Paypal Express Checkout into simple Shopping Cart. There are different ways to do that. Paypal recommends to choose between Basic or Advanced integration and version 4.0 of checkout.js (with REST API). So far so good.
I created Paypal App in my Paypal account to get credentials and start testing it.
The test was OK, but there are some misunderstandings here.
Checkout.js send the amount ( 1.00 ) and currency ( EUR ) to the Paypal servers via REST API (along with my credentials). And if the payment is finished OK - callback function onAuthorize is triggered and there are two parameters with response (data and actions). Well, here I call my own AJAX function to write transaction response data in my database. BUT... I get here only PaymentID and PayerID of the paid transaction?!! And if I want to search later into web interface of paypal.com - there is no such thing as PaymentID. There is only TransactionID ??? How to get other transaction details in the response in onAutorize callback function? How can I get TransactionID here to write down in my database? May be here I have to call Paypal API, or have to implement Paypal IPN (instant payment notification )? BUT how to call IPN API, if I don't have TransactionID :)
<div style="width: 906px; text-align: right; height: 100px;
margin-top: 50px;">
<div id="paypal-button"></div>
</div>
<script src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/api/checkout.js"></script>
<script>
paypal.Button.render({
env: 'production', // Optional: specify 'sandbox' environment
style: {
size: 'medium',
shape: 'rect'
},
client: {
sandbox: 'xxx-my-credentials-xxx',
production: 'xxx-my-credentials-xxx'
},
payment: function() {
var env = this.props.env;
var client = this.props.client;
return paypal.rest.payment.create(env, client, {
transactions: [
{
amount: { total: '1.00', currency: 'EUR' }
}
]
});
},
commit: true, // Optional: show a 'Pay Now' button in the checkout flow
onAuthorize: function(data, actions) {
// Optional: display a confirmation page here
var EXECUTE_PAYMENT_URL = 'payment-process.php';
paypal.request.post(EXECUTE_PAYMENT_URL, { paymentID: data.paymentID, payerID: data.payerID, transactionID: data.transactionID, data: data }) .then(function(data) { }) .catch(function(err) { });
return actions.payment.execute().then(function() {
// Show a success page to the buyer
});
}
}, '#paypal-button');
</script>
To read the information from the transaction you need to call and save data JSON in database
return actions.payment.execute().then(function() {
actions.payment.get().then(function(data) {
if(data.state === 'approved'){
console.log(data);
var transactionId = data.id;
alert("Transaction ID: "+ transactionId + " \n State: " +data.state);
}else{
console.log(data);
}
});
});
