Introduction
This plugin allows you to use PayPal for payments and includes actions such as creating a payment order, confirming an order using Paypal or a card, receiving payment data, etc. It also comes with a set of PayPal buttons that you can place on your page.
Prerequisites
You must have an account with PayPal Developer to interact with the API. Create your development account at: https://developer.paypal.com/developer/applications/create
How to setup
- Go to https://developer.paypal.com/developer/applications/create and create a new PayPal app using your PayPal Developer login.
Once you have created your app, change the environment to 'Live'.
For demo purposes, all screenshots below are from Sandbox, but in live this is the same.
- Go to your app settings. Next copy Client ID and Secret key
- You can generate a new key if you don’t have any.
- Insert the Client ID and Secret key into your application in the appropriate fields in the plugin settings.
- Use the action "Get API key" to get the API key. The result of calling this action will be the API key, copy it together with the name “Basic”. This action will only be used once to obtain the Key. Since the demo page already has a retrieved API key, this functionality is not present in the demo. Below is an example of setting up a workflow to obtain an API key.
- Insert API key in Plugin settings.
There are a few things to understand to complete a recurring payment plan, the flow should follow these actions:
Sandbox Accounts
- Go to the "Testing Tools" tab.
Two accounts (Personal & Business) will be created automatically for the PayPal sandbox.
- The password for your PayPal sandbox accounts can be changed in the "View/Edit account" section.

Payment Test workflow
This workflow demonstrates, using the example of buying a product in a store, how to set up API calls for creating a payment order, choosing a payment method, confirming payment and further processing the payment on the seller's side.
- When buying one or more products, you can set up the action "Order - Create order2" and transfer the necessary amount for payment and other necessary parameters according to the documentation of this action.
- After creating a payment order using order ID, you can get data about the payment order (ID, status, etc.) using the action "Order - Show order details2" or data call "Order - Show order details data". As long as the payment order is not paid and the payment is not captured by the seller, you can edit the payment order using actions: Update intent order, Update order address, Update order description, Update shipping name order, Update the shipping type order, Update amount order.
- For the created order, you can accept payment using Paypal or a Card. To do this, use the actions "Order - Confirm the Order Paypal" and "Order - Confirm the Order Card".
Action "Order - Confirm the Order Paypal" returns a link to go to the Paypal site for payment (links➡️href).
After successful payment, the status of the payment order will change to APPROVED.
- Depending on the selected value of the field "intent" action "Order - Create order2", it is necessary to select further actions.
- If the value of the field is "intent" AUTHORIZE, then it is necessary to authorize the payment of the order using the action "Order - Authorize payment for order2". At the same time, the payment will be waiting for authorization in the buyer's personal account.
In the merchant's personal account, the payment will have the status "PENDING".
To further fix the authorized payment, use the action "Payments - Capture authorized payment".
- If the value of the "intent" field is CAPTURE, then it is necessary to authorize the payment of the order using the "Order - Capture payment for order2" action. In this case, the payment will be recorded immediately after the buyer makes the payment.
Step-by-step configuration workflow
This workflow demonstrates the step-by-step process of the API from the moment the payment order is created to the moment the seller receives the money.
- Create a payment order by filling in the required fields.
For further work with the payment order, you need to use the order_id received when using the Order - Create order2 action.
- Use the Order ID to further confirm the payment using the selected method:
- when paying using Paypal, use the action "Order - Confirm the Order Paypal" by filling in the required fields. Using the action "Order - Confirm the Order Paypal" returns a link to go to the Paypal payment site, after a successful (unsuccessful) payment on the Paypal site, you can set up a redirect link (field return_url (cancel_url)).
After successful payment, you can use the Order ID from the URL, it is located in the "token" parameter.
- when paying with a credit/debit card, use the action "Order - Confirm the Order Card" by filling in the required fields. To test card payment, use Paypal documentation.
- If the payment was successful, then the payment order must be authorized or captured, depending on the selected "Intent" value when creating the payment order. To do this, use the actions "Order - Authorize payment for order2" and "Order - Capture payment for order2" by filling in all the necessary fields. After successful authorization or capture of the payment order, you will receive the payment ID.
- Using actions Payments - Show details for authorized payment, Payments - Show captured payment details you can get information about payments, as well as re-authorize an authorized payment using action Payments - Reauthorize authorized payment. Use the payment ID in these actions obtained in the previous step.
