PayPal

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

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-________
PAYPAL_CLIENT_ID=________________________
PAYPAL_CLIENT_SECRET=________________________
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 3. to authenticate when ordering.
Known issues
