This gem is a lightweight wrapper for the paypal adaptive payments API.
This is very much a work in progress! Use at your own risk or submit bug fixes :)
Before you need start, read the API manual https://www.x.com/docs/DOC-1531 and check out the forums on http://x.com It'll be invaluable for parameters and error messages. The gem keeps the request/response as hashes so you will have to read the manual to make the proper calls. I made a few test cases for further examples at http://github.com/tc/paypal_adaptive/tree/master/test/
Create paypal_adaptive.yml to your config folder:
development:
environment: "sandbox"
username: "sandbox_username"
password: "sandbox_password"
signature: "sandbox_signature"
application_id: "sandbox_app_id"
api_cert_file:
test:
environment: "sandbox"
username: "sandbox_username"
password: "sandbox_password"
signature: "sandbox_signature"
application_id: "sandbox_app_id"
api_cert_file: "/path/to_cert"
production:
environment: "production"
username: "my_production_username"
password: "my_production_password"
signature: "my_production_signature"
application_id: "my_production_app_id"
api_cert_file: "/path/to_cert"
You can also use ENV variables when specifying your configuration. eg.
<%= ENV[''paypal.username'] %>
Make the payment request:
pay_request = PaypalAdaptive::Request.new
data = {
"returnUrl" => "http://testserver.com/payments/completed_payment_request",
"requestEnvelope" => {"errorLanguage" => "en_US"},
"currencyCode"=>"USD",
"receiverList"=>{"receiver"=>[{"email"=>"testpp_1261697850_per@nextsprocket.com", "amount"=>"10.00"}]},
"cancelUrl"=>"http://testserver.com/payments/canceled_payment_request",
"actionType"=>"PAY",
"ipnNotificationUrl"=>"http://testserver.com/payments/ipn_notification"
}
pay_response = pay_request.pay(data)
if pay_response.success?
redirect_to pay_response.preapproval_paypal_payment_url
else
puts pay_response.errors.first['message']
redirect_to failed_payment_url
end
Once the user goes to pay_response.approve_paypal_payment_url, they will be prompted to login to Paypal for payment.
Upon payment completion page, they will be redirected to http://testserver.com/payments/completed_payment_request.
They can also click cancel to go to http://testserver.com/payments/canceled_payment_request
The actual payment details will be sent to your server via "ipnNotificationUrl" You have to create a listener to receive POST messages from paypal. I added a Rails metal template in the templates folder which handles the callback.
Additionally, you can make calls to Paypal Adaptive's other APIs: payment_details, preapproval, preapproval_details, cancel_preapproval, convert_currency, refund
Input is just a Hash just like the pay method. Refer to the Paypal manual for more details.
Instead of redirecting to the url from redirect_to pay_response.approve_paypal_payment_url you can generate the action url for your
form by using pay_response.approve_paypal_payment_url 'MY TYPE' The two types that are supported for embedded payment are 'light' and 'mini'
More information about these types can be found here https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_api_APIntro
You can set the location of the key file you downloaded from PayPal, in paypal_adaptive.yml for each environment, e.g.:
development:
environment: "sandbox"
username: "sandbox_username"
password: "sandbox_password"
signature: "sandbox_signature"
application_id: "sandbox_app_id"
api_cert_file: "/path/to/your/private.key"
The api_cert_file should point to your cert_key_pem.txt that is downloaded through the paypal developer interface. It will contain a section that specifies the RSA private key and another section that specifies a certificate. If this is left empty, paypal_adaptive will attempt to use the signature method of validation with PayPal, so your signature config must not be nil.
