I've got a paypal payment at my site. Looks like this:
app.post('/pay', (req, res) => {
console.log(req.body);
const create_payment_json = {
"intent": "sale",
"payer": {
"payment_method": "paypal"
},
"redirect_urls": {
"return_url": "http://localhost:1234/success",
"cancel_url": "http://localhost:1234/cancel"
},
"transactions": [{
"item_list": {
"items": [{
"name": req.body.user_name,
"sku": "001",
"price": "25",
"currency": "USD",
"quantity": req.body.persons_count
}]
},
"amount": {
"currency": "USD",
"total": "25"
},
"description": req.body.user_name + " with email " + req.body.email + " just ordered " + req.body.persons_count + " places"
}]
};
paypal.payment.create(create_payment_json, function (error, payment) {
if (error) {
throw error;
} else {
res.send('on my way');
console.log(payment);
}
});
})
If I change total field in amount object (this is what I wanna do) I get a 400 response (bad request). How can I make a payment like this:
"amount":{
"total": req.body.persons_count * 2
}
Where req.body.persons_count variable is a variable I get from a post request from one of the forms I have earlier.
Fighting with that code showed, that both price and total values have to be equal however I want the price of a single item be different from the total amount I wanna get. Huge thanks!
By the way quantity value has to be equal to 1. In all other cases app crahes.
Total amount should be sum of items amount, shipping amount, tax and other fees.
In your case, total : Item price * Item quantity
sample,
"transactions": [
{
"amount": {
"currency": "USD",
"total": "20",
"details": {
"shipping": "1.20",
"tax": "1.30",
"subtotal": "17.50"
}
},
"description": "Payment description",
"invoice_number": "1231123524",
"custom": "custom data",
"item_list": {
"items": [
{
"name": "Ground Coffee 40 oz",
"currency": "USD",
"quantity": 1,
"price": "7.50"
},
{
"name": "Granola bars",
"currency": "USD",
"quantity": 5,
"price": "2"
}
]
}
}
]

This is my code. Can you please tell me how to pass the form field in PayPal API?
The Issue I am getting here is when I am trying to pass Dummy data mine API is working fine but when I am trying to pass Fields from mine Form its not working. I have console.log and check it I am getting data on this API.
router.post('/checkout/pay',function(req,res){
var title="req.body.title";
var price="req.body.price";
var qty=1
var create_payment_json = {
"intent": "sale",
"payer": {
"payment_method": "paypal"
},
"redirect_urls": {
"return_url": "http://localhost:3000/success",
"cancel_url": "http://localhost:3000/cancel"
},
"transactions": [{
"item_list": {
"items": [{
"name": title,
"sku": "001",
"price":price ,
"currency": "USD",
"quantity": 1,
}]
},
"amount": {
"currency": "USD",
"total": price,
},
"description": "This is the payment description."
}]
};
function handleError(error) {
console.log(error);
}
paypal.payment.create(create_payment_json, function (error, payment) {
if (error) {
console.log(error);
handleError(error);
} else {
console.log("Create Payment Response");
console.log(JSON.stringify(payment));
res.send('test');
}
});
})
The issue was with my form I was trying
I was trying to do something like this
value=$nbsp;"<%= parseFloat(total).toFixed(2) %>"
Instead of it should be like this
value="<%= parseFloat(total).toFixed(2) %>"
I forget that their would be a validation in Paypal Service
I do not have a website and I would like to just send a link to the user and get the appropriate response whether they paid or not on the PayPal website and handle the rest.
Basically I dont want to redirect the user anywhere.
After configuring my PayPal credentials I have the following
var create_payment_json = {
"intent": "sale",
"payer": {
"payment_method": "paypal"
},
// I WANT TO REMOVE THAT BUT IF I DO I GET AN ERROR IN RESPONSE
"redirect_urls": {
"return_url": "http://return.url",
"cancel_url": "http://cancel.url"
},
"transactions": [{
"item_list": {
"items": [{
"name": "item",
"sku": "item",
"price": "1.00",
"currency": "USD",
"quantity": 1
}]
},
"amount": {
"currency": "USD",
"total": "1.00"
},
"description": "This is the payment description."
}]
};
paypal.payment.create(create_payment_json, function (error, payment) {
if (error) {
throw error;
} else {
console.log("Create Payment Response");
console.log(payment);
}
});
var paymentId = 'PAYMENT id created in previous step';
//check if user payed or not
paypal.payment.execute(paymentId, execute_payment_json, function (error, payment) {
if (error) {
console.log(error.response);
throw error;
} else {
console.log("Get Payment Response");
console.log(JSON.stringify(payment));
}
});
The following route does not work. With a VALID card_id, and, an amount that's 100.00 and description "Sale"...
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong...
router.post("/payment", function(req,res) {
var savedCard = {
"intent": "sale",
"payer": {
"payment_method": "credit_card",
"funding_instruments": [{
"credit_card_token": {
"credit_card_id": req.body.card_id
}
}]
},
"transactions": [{
"amount": {
"currency": "USD",
"total": req.body.amount
},
"description": req.body.description
}]
};
paypal.payment.create(savedCard, function (err, payment) {
if (err) return res.status(500).send(err)
return res.status(200).send(payment)
})
})
This code returns the following error. And I have tried 10 different credit cards:
{
"response": {
"name": "INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR",
"information_link": "https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/docs/api/#INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR",
"debug_id": "7e1f62be759b1",
"httpStatusCode": 503
},
"response_stringified": "{\"name\":\"INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR\",\"information_link\":\"https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/docs/api/#INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR\",\"debug_id\":\"7e1f62be759b1\",\"httpStatusCode\":503}",
"httpStatusCode": 503
}
I don't get it...
I'm working with PayPal Express Checkout and and what i need to do is Authorize and Capture the payment later separately, my current PayPal flow is,
1) I create a payment using following code:
var paypal = require('paypal-rest-sdk');
function createPayPal(req, res, itemsArray, redirectsTos) {
var payment = {
"intent": "sale",
"payer": {},
"transactions": [{
"amount": {
"currency": sails.config.currency,
"total": itemsArray.totalArrayAmount,
"details": {
"subtotal": itemsArray.totalArrayAmount,
"fee": sails.config.PayPalCreateFee
}
},
"invoice_number": req.session.invNum,
"item_list": {
"items": itemsArray.itemsArray
}
}]
};
sails.log.info('payment obj :', JSON.stringify(payment))
payment.payer.payment_method = sails.config.PayPalPaymentMethod;
payment.redirect_urls = {
"return_url": res.locals.return_url_buy,
"cancel_url": res.locals.cancel_url_buy
};
paypal.payment.create(payment, function(error, payment) {
if (error) {
sails.log.error(error);
redirectsTos(({
message: 'failure',
redirect: '/paypal/error'
}), null);
} else {
sails.log.info('Payment ID = ', payment.id);
sails.log.info('User ID = ', req.session.userSession);
var redirectUrl;
for (var i = 0; i < payment.links.length; i++) {
var link = payment.links[i];
if (link.method === 'REDIRECT') {
redirectUrl = link.href;
sails.log.info('goto:', redirectUrl)
redirectsTos(null, ({
message: 'success',
redirect: redirectUrl
}));
}
}
}
});
}
and Paypal returns me the order information and the redirect urls and i redirected the user to the href in links object. then when the payflow returns to me website it sends me
{
paymentId: 'PAY-5FB60654T5508144abcxyzZLQ',
token: 'EC-26U68825EW2123428',
PayerID: 'QSABTRW6AHYH6'
}
and then i executed the payment using following code.
function executePayPal(req, paymentId, payerId, executedPayPal) {
sails.log.info('in executedPayPal');
var details = {
"payer_id": payerId
};
var payment = paypal.payment.execute(paymentId, details, function(error, payment) {
if (error) {
sails.log.error('error in payment id in executePayPal function of paypal controller', error);
var err = JSON.stringify(error);
var errParsed = JSON.parse(err);
crashHandlingService.appCrash(errParsed, 101202);
executedPayPal(({
message: 'failure',
redirect: '/paypal/error/'
}), null);
} else {
executedPayPal(({
message: 'success',
redirect: '/paypal/success/'
}), null);
}
});
}
Now what this code basically do is
Create the payment,
Redirect the user to paypal page C
Capture the payment.
and what i actually want to achieve is
authorize the payment ->
capturing the payment so that i can capture the payment some later time in some cronJob or service.
And redirect the user to paypal page in the middle of above flow, i really don't know how to authorize, redirect and then capture payment.
So please guide me in this regards.
Note: i've read the following paypal documentation but not able to understand. and please keep in mind that i need to show payment detail on paypal page and also the coupon code and its discount on the payment page.
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/direct/capture-payment/#authorize-the-payment
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/express-checkout/ht_ec-singleAuthPayment-curl-etc/
Thanks in advance :) .
Finally I've found the solution and i thought i should post it here so that it could be helpful for other.
So there are basically 4 following steps and one have to you use PayPal Node SDK
Create Payment.
Redirect User to PayPal.
Execute Authorized Payment.
Capture Authorized Payment.
To Create Payment you can use payment.create method of PayPal Node sdk here.
.Create Method will return url links in "href" to redirect user to PayPal page so redirect the user to PayPal page.
After returning from pay PayPal page you have to run .execute method of PayPal Node SDK here, using payer_id and paymentId recived from PayPal.
and finally when you need to capture the amount of the authorized transaction you had to .authorization.capture method of PayPal Node SDK here, by providing amount and the 17 digits authorization id recived in execute authorize response.
Code & Response sample are provided below in case if the links doesn't works in future.
.create Code
var create_payment_json = {
"intent": "authorize",
"payer": {
"payment_method": "paypal"
},
"redirect_urls": {
"return_url": "http://return.url",
"cancel_url": "http://cancel.url"

"item_list": {

"sku": "item",
"price": "1.00",
"currency": "USD",
"quantity": 1
}]
},
"amount": {
"currency": "USD",
"total": "1.00"
},
"description": "This is the payment description."
}]
};
paypal.payment.create(create_payment_json, function (error, payment) {
if (error) {
console.log(error.response);
throw error;
} else {
for (var index = 0; index < payment.links.length; index++) {
//Redirect user to this endpoint for redirect url
if (payment.links[index].rel === 'approval_url') {
console.log(payment.links[index].href);
}
}
console.log(payment);
}
});

You can get more information from REST API Reference And PayPal-node-SDK.
Forgive me if the response sample are somehow a little bit change because i've copied it from PayPal web.
Thanks.
