[FX.php List] PayPal integration?

[Steve Winter]

Hey Joel

My experience has been that it's a bit more 'chatty', particularly if you're PaymentsPro (so both the direct payment and Express checkout), i.e. there are multiple calls made to the API, then the user is redirected, then more calls are needed once they're back.

The SDK code is useful to see how to get started, but note that certainly the PHP nap sample code provided is out of date in the names of a number of the 'names' that it uses. 
	SDK: https://www.x.com/developers/paypal/documentation-tools/paypal-sdk-index
	API reference: https://www.x.com/developers/paypal/documentation-tools/api

One other thing well worth mentioning is that when using the Sandbox to do your testing, you need to create a merchant sandbox account, implement that as the merchant in your test code, then create other test accounts in the sandbox and use the card and/or account details which the sandbox creates for testing - any other pp accounts, or credit card numbers will fail…
	Sandbox: https://www.x.com/developers/paypal/documentation-tools/api
	Sandbox user guide: https://cms.paypal.com/cms_content/CA/en_US/files/developer/PP_Sandbox_UserGuide.pdf

Hope this helps.

Cheers
Steve
