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"
test:
environment: "sandbox"
username: "sandbox_username"
password: "sandbox_password"
signature: "sandbox_signature"
application_id: "sandbox_app_id"
production:
environment: "production"
username: "my_production_username"
password: "my_production_password"
signature: "my_production_signature"
application_id: "my_production_app_id"
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.approve_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.
0.1.0 Fixed IPN rails metal template by sending the correct params back: ipn.send_back(env['rack.request.form_vars']) Thanks to github.com/JoN1oP for fixing this.
0.0.5 Added Preapproval preapproval_paypal_payment_url along with test case.
0.0.4 Preapproval now returns a PaypalAdaptive::Response class. Added preapproval test cases.
0.0.3 Renamed PayRequest, PayResponse into Request, Response since other api calls use the class as well.
0.0.2 Fixed initialized constant warning.
0.0.1 First release.
