Technical details about how we implement PayPal and how to get started developing with it.

PayPal

Developing / testing sandbox

Buyer account

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.

Merchant account

  1. Create an app here: https://developer.paypal.com/developer/applications/create
  2. Use the generated merchant credentials to set the following variables in API's .env:
PAYPAL_ENVIRONMENT=sandbox
PAYPAL_APP_ID=APP-________
  1. Encrypt your client secret, from the API repository:
npm run script scripts/encrypt.js PAYPAL_CLIENT_SECRET
  1. Manually create a ConnectedAccount with your clientId and your encrypted clientSecret:
INSERT INTO "ConnectedAccounts" ("service", "clientId", "token", "CollectiveId")
VALUES (E'paypal', clientId, clientSecret, hostCollectiveId);
  1. Create buyer's credentials on https://developer.paypal.com/developer/accounts/create

And you're ready to go. Use the credentials generated in step 2. to authenticate when ordering.
