I want to do the following in paypal rest! api billing plan:
the description in the left, how do i do this in php rest api when it comes to billing plan?
For example, if it was just one ordinary item, i did this with the following code:
$item = new Item();
$item->setQuantity('1');
$item->setName('benny');
$item->setPrice('7.41');
$item->setCurrency('USD');
$item->setSku('blah');
// //var_dump($item);
$items = new ItemList();
$items->addItem($item);
...
$transaction->setItemList($items);
I don't see anything similar when it comes to the plans api:
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/#billing-plans-and-agreements
This is what i get when i do an agreement: (only description but i want items to be here too, just like the prev example)
I am currently testing credit card payments using the PayPal payments pro Rest API.
I keep getting the following error:
Exception in HttpConnection Execute: Invalid HTTP response The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request. --->
I created and activated my PayPal test account and as following:
Credit card
Credit card number:
ccnumber here
Credit card type:
Visa
Expiration date:
3/2019
When I enter the above information in my payment form and submit I keep getting the 400 bad request error.
I have gotton this to work before with the PayPAl joe shopper account but lost the test cc number.
I am 100% sure I have authenticated with the oauth2 credentials
What is the likely cause of this error?:
I am entering a random payer first name and last name .
Does the name have to exsist?
What could be causing the error
If anything goes wrong in the data given, paypal api will return a 400 - Bad request error.
When I got the error(PHP SDK), I caught the exception and $ex->getData() returned a json which contains the details about the bad request, in my case the currency code I given was wrong.
try {
$payment->create($apiContext);
} catch (PayPal\Exception\PPConnectionException $ex) {
var_dump(json_decode($ex->getData()));
exit(1);
}
Like others here have said, there are several things that can cause the (HTTP 400 - Bad Request).
In my case it was due to using the same invoice number. For temporary testing I just used the ShoppingCartID that I generated with a guid. You could also use a Random number generator as well. Ultimately you will need to generate an invoice number to the clients specifications.
-Good luck
I just had the same problem (HTTP 400 - Bad Request). The cause is a REST API request with "errors". In my case I had two causes:
I passed amount details to an Amount object but the sum of subtotal, shipping an tax was not equal to the amount total.
I passed amount currency values including a fracture, but passed not exactly two decimals but only one. Obviously the REST API is a bit touchy and accepts only either no or two decimals.
I passed an item_list in the Transaction object but the sum of the prices in the Item object was not equal to the subtotal given in the amount details.
I don't know a way of finding the actual cause of the error (if there is one).
In your case it could be the name of the payer that you add. Try without.
Edit:
I just tried out: It is indeed the payer info. I passed a payer_info with first and lastname and got HTTP 400 (without everything worked). I assume that payer_info must not be set by us but is set by PayPal when returning a Payment object.
Payer payer = new Payer { payment_method = "paypal", payer_info = new PayerInfo {
first_name = "Zaphod", last_name = "Beeblebrox"} }; // => HTTP 400 - Bad Request
firstly find out what exactly what Your error is
payment = PayPal::SDK::REST::DataTypes::Payment.new(...)
payment.create
# got Response[400]: Bad Request here
payment.error
# got {"name"=>"VALIDATION_ERROR", "details"=>[{"field"=>"transactions", "issue"=>"
then find out what Your issue here to get more info

I had the same issue. In my case it was Credit Card issue which might be over used. So I have taken new Credit card Number from this site Testing Credit card and replaced with the old one.
Here is Credit Card Information that I used
credit_card = new CreditCard()
{
billing_address = new Address()
{
city = "Johnstown",
country_code = "US",
line1 = "52 N Main ST",
postal_code = "43210",
state = "OH"
},
cvv2 = "874",
expire_month = 11,
expire_year = 2018,
first_name = "Joe",
last_name = "Shopper",
number = "4024007185826731", //New Credit card Number, Only Card type should match other details does not matter
type = "visa"
}
Note: All the Credit Card mentioned in PayPal site are not working, giving same issue for me. If it working for you then it's good otherwise use new testing Credit Card Number. Hope this will help someone.
Thank you! Enjoy Coding!
I too got struck with this issue, there might be many other possible root cause for this failure but then in my case all my passing argument is correct, but then it failed in sandbox environment, I just changed Payment option from PayPal Balance to Visa then it started working.
I recently had a 400 bad request error as well. In my case, I was processing a refund using RefundRequest, and it appears that PayPal recently changed the constraints on the "reason" field (although it isn't documented that I can find) so my lengthy descriptions of what was being returned were no longer acceptable. I found the error only because I saw another field where PayPal was now requiring that it be only single-byte alphanumeric characters. What actually helped though, was shortening the data I was putting through as a reason to simply "Returned items".
Obviously this is an old thread, and I'm sure the original problem was solved long ago, but if using some of the above methods to determine more information about an error don't yield results I would suggest submitting a request with the bare minimum of information until you can get it to go through. Then, start adding additional fields/information back to see if you can identify which field contains the information causing the bad request. That would have worked for my issue, at least.
Understand your errors
PayPal returns detailed data on every exception (except 500 INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR), explaining what was the exact error you are seeing. You can retrieve that as follows:
Update your exception handling to catch PayPalConnectionException and print $ex->getData() as shown below:
try {
$payment->create($apiContext);
} catch (PayPal\Exception\PayPalConnectionException $ex) {
echo $ex->getCode(); // Prints the Error Code
echo $ex->getData(); // Prints the detailed error message
die($ex);
} catch (Exception $ex) {
die($ex);
}
It is due to the wrong currency or amount you have given.
I faced the issue in React JS
I was doing this. in the createOrder method.
purchase_units: [{
amount: {
currency_code: 'PHP',
value: totalAmount
}
}],
that was the issue. If i gave any currency other than USD i will get the 400 Error. So i removed the currency_code from here
And I moved the currency declaration into my component declaration.
like this.
options={{
clientId: " Your_ID " ,
currency: "PHP"
}}
Here you can give any currency you want. This solves my 400 Error
If you use Paypal Sandbox for testing Driver and on first try with buggy code it shows the client a 400 Bad request error.
Reason:- Paypal sent JWT auth and it was stored in the client's local storage.
Suggestion:- Try to clear the client's local storage cache (You only need to clear the Paypal Token).
This works for me, I hope it works for you :)
I'm using PayPal SOAP SDK for .NET to make a refund transaction.I try to call RefundTransaction method in SDK using transaction ID from SetExpressCheckout/DoExpressCheckout calls ( they work well ). PayPal API is returning 10004 error "Transaction id is not valid".
Here is my code:
PayPalAPIInterfaceServiceService service = new PayPalAPIInterfaceServiceService();
RefundTransactionRequestType refundTransactionRequest = new RefundTransactionRequestType();
refundTransactionRequest.TransactionID = transactionID;
refundTransactionRequest.PayerID = payerID;
refundTransactionRequest.InvoiceID = invoiceNumber;
refundTransactionRequest.RefundType = RefundType.FULL;
refundTransactionRequest.Amount = new BasicAmountType(GetPayPalCurrency(currencyID), amount.ToString("F"));
var request = new RefundTransactionReq() { RefundTransactionRequest = refundTransactionRequest };
RefundTransactionResponseType refundTransactionResponse = service.RefundTransaction(request);
Please help.
Double check to make sure that you processed the DoExpressCheckout transaction as a sale and not an authorization. If it was an authorization, you will not be able to refund it. Also make sure you are using the transaction id that you received as the merchant, and not the transaction id you received as a buyer. The two transaction id's will be different. If you have checked both of these things and it still does not work, if you can provide the API response you are getting back that includes the TIMESTAMP and the CORRELATIONID I can take a look at it on my end.
I am using a paypal ipn script i found here
http://coderzone.org/library/PHP-PayPal-Instant-Payment-Notification-IPN_1099.htm
I am aware that I can send information to paypal and get a response. It states I can get the information back using $_POST . My query is how do I specify the UK currency?
Also wanted to clarify a minor point. Am I correct that this is how i can confirm it was a success.
if ($_POST['payment_status'] == 'completed')
// Received Payment!
// $_POST['custom'] is order id and has been paid for.
}
This might be a little late for you sorry, but just in case - I currently use "currencyCode" = > "AUD" and it is working in the sandbox.
There's a full list of the currency codes available at PayPal
For yours, I'm guessing it would be:
$p->add_field('currencyCode', 'GBP');
As for your question about the IPN itself, it looks like you're on the right track. It will depend on the data you're getting back and whether you're interested in the individual transactions (if using adaptive payments) or if you're reversing them all on error etc. The easiest way to determine what you'll need to do is to simply display or log all the post data so you can see how it's constructed.
You'll also need to set it up so that the script is accessible by PayPal. You'll then pass the full URL of this script to the "notify_url" parameter and send it off to PayPal. Once the payment has completed PayPal will send a bunch of information to your script so that you can process it.
Unfortunately I'm not from a PHP background so I can't give you the exact code you'll need. Also note that there are a lot of security issues that you'll want to look into before going to a production environment. Not sure if you already intend to do this with that validateIPN function, but you need to ensure that you can tell whether it comes from PayPal and not a malicious user. One way would be to pass a value using the custom attribute and have PayPal pass this back to you, however you'd be much better off using the API certificates etc.
If you haven't already, it may be worth checking out a few of the sample applications PayPal has done up, there seem to be quite a few PHP ones.
Let me know if you need anything else,
Use this, it works for me
$p->add_field('currency_code', 'GBP');
You need to use PayPal Adaptive Payments, IPN wouldn't help.
PayPal Adaptive Payments
Using PayPal PHP library then it could look like this:
// Create an instance, you'll make all the necessary requests through this
// object, if you digged through the code, you'll notice an AdaptivePaymentsProxy class
// wich has in it all of the classes corresponding to every object mentioned on the
// documentation of the API
$ap = new AdaptivePayments();
// Our request envelope
$requestEnvelope = new RequestEnvelope();
$requestEnvelope->detailLevel = 0;
$requestEnvelope->errorLanguage = 'en_GB';
// Our base amount, in other words the currency we want to convert to
// other currency type. It's very straighforward, just have a public
// prop. to hold de amount and the current code.
$baseAmountList = new CurrencyList();
$baseAmountList->currency = array( 'amount' => $this->amount, 'code' => 'GBP' );
// Our target currency type. Given that I'm from Mexico I would like to
// see it in mexican pesos. Again, just need to provide the code of the
// currency. On the docs you'll have access to the complete list of codes
$convertToCurrencyListUSD = new CurrencyCodeList();
$convertToCurrencyListUSD->currencyCode = 'USD';
// Now create a instance of the ConvertCurrencyRequest object, which is
// the one necessary to handle this request.
// This object takes as parameters the ones we previously created, which
// are our base currency, our target currency, and the req. envelop
$ccReq = new ConvertCurrencyRequest();
$ccReq->baseAmountList = $baseAmountList;
$ccReq->convertToCurrencyList = $convertToCurrencyListUSD;
$ccReq->requestEnvelope = $requestEnvelope;
// And finally we call the ConvertCurrency method on our AdaptivePayment object,
// and assign whatever result we get to our variable
$resultUSD = $ap->ConvertCurrency($ccReq);
$convertToCurrencyListUSD->currencyCode = 'EUR';
$resultEUR = $ap->ConvertCurrency($ccReq);
// Given that our result should be a ConvertCurrencyResponse object, we can
// look into its properties for further display/processing purposes
$resultingCurrencyListUSD = $resultUSD->estimatedAmountTable->currencyConversionList;
$resultingCurrencyListEUR = $resultEUR->estimatedAmountTable->currencyConversionList;
I am currently testing an online store using a custom cart within paypal sandbox.
I am able to go trough all transcation steps properly
setExpressCheckout-> pay -> DoExpressCheckout.
During the DoExpressCheckout step I think it would be the good time to update my database with the order. For that I use the GetExpressCheckoutDetails function to retrieve the content of the transaction.
Sadly this function return everything paypal has to offer but miss the content of my cart. All i can get is the detail of one item. If the transaction involve multiple items i would only get the details of the first one.
Here is my code (mostly taken from paypal samples) :
$token =urlencode( $_REQUEST['token']);
$payerId=urlencode( $_REQUEST['PayerID']);
$getExpressCheckoutDetailsRequest = new GetExpressCheckoutDetailsRequestType($token);
$getExpressCheckoutReq = new GetExpressCheckoutDetailsReq();
$getExpressCheckoutReq->GetExpressCheckoutDetailsRequest = $getExpressCheckoutDetailsRequest;
$paypalService = new PayPalAPIInterfaceServiceService();
$getECResponse = $paypalService->GetExpressCheckoutDetails($getExpressCheckoutReq);
$details = $getECResponse->GetExpressCheckoutDetailsResponseDetails;
// $details->PaymentDetails->PaymentDetailsItem this array should hold all items details
// sadly it always have 1 element instead of the full content of my cart :(
$orderTotal = $details->PaymentDetails->OrderTotal;
$PaymentDetails= new PaymentDetailsType();
$PaymentDetails->OrderTotal = $orderTotal;
//
Some stuff with payment details
//
$DoECRequestDetails = new DoExpressCheckoutPaymentRequestDetailsType();
$DoECRequest = new DoExpressCheckoutPaymentRequestType();
$DoECRequest->DoExpressCheckoutPaymentRequestDetails = $DoECRequestDetails;
$DoECReq = new DoExpressCheckoutPaymentReq();
$DoECReq->DoExpressCheckoutPaymentRequest = $DoECRequest;
$DoECResponse = $paypalService->DoExpressCheckoutPayment($DoECReq);
Do i miss a step or call a bad function. Because i tried to print_r every variable i came across and the full content of my cart was nowhere to be found. I find this strange since the 'orderTotal' of the transaction match with my original cart. I could store my original order during the SetExpressCheckout step but since paypal already have those values i find it redundant.
As a last resort I did found the content of my cart using $paypalService->getLastRequest() but seriously this is the raw XML returned by paypal and the api should be parsing it properly :(.
Thanks for reading
I had this exact same issue - while the XML returned by PayPal is fine, their PHP SDK doesn't parse it properly, so you can only ever see the last item in GetExpressCheckout.
I've posted a fix for this problem in an issue on PayPal's GitHub, please check it out:
