PayPal
Technical details about how we implement PayPal and how to get started developing with it.
This is the account you'll use to make the (fake) payment. Go to https://developer.paypal.com/developer/accounts/create, login with your personnal PayPal account then create a test account.
- 1.
- 2.Use the generated merchant credentials to set the following variables in API's
.env:
PAYPAL_ENVIRONMENT=sandbox
PAYPAL_APP_ID=APP-________
3. Encrypt your client secret, from the API repository:
npm run script scripts/encrypt.js PAYPAL_CLIENT_SECRET
4. Manually create a ConnectedAccount with your
clientId and your encrypted clientSecret:INSERT INTO "ConnectedAccounts" ("service", "clientId", "token", "CollectiveId")
VALUES (E'paypal', clientId, clientSecret, hostCollectiveId);
And you're ready to go. Use the credentials generated in step 2. to authenticate when ordering.
- The button may require multiple clicks to trigger on dev or staging. It should not affect production (see https://github.com/paypal/paypal-checkout/issues/471)
