README

A php implementation of the PayPal REST API using PSR-7, PSR-17 and PSR-18.

The package is a work in progress and contributions are welcome. For now, it covers Orders (one-time payments), subscriptions (Products, Plans and Subscriptions), Webhooks (receive notifications from PayPal when certain events occur) and Payments. That's all that's needed to create a store, be it one-time payment or subscription based.

NOTE: If you're just starting to use PayPal think twice, as I have found that their apis are unstable, bugs are introduced all the time in production and despite contacting Merchant Technical Support the issues take forever to get fixed. Save yourself the hassle and use a more reliable payment provider.

install package

composer require 8ctopus/paypal-rest-api

before you get started

demo

Here's a code sample that shows how to make a one-time payment. To see all possibilites run php demo.php. There is also a demo store using this package, check out PayPal sandbox.

use HttpSoft\Message\RequestFactory;
use HttpSoft\Message\StreamFactory;
use Nimbly\Shuttle\Shuttle;
use Oct8pus\PayPal\Orders;
use Oct8pus\PayPal\Orders\Intent;
use Oct8pus\PayPal\OAuth;
use Oct8pus\PayPal\HttpHandler;

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$handler = new HttpHandler(
    // PSR-18 http client
    new Shuttle(),
    // PSR-17 request factory
    new RequestFactory(),
    // PSR-7 stream factory
    new StreamFactory()
);

$sandbox = true;

// get authorization token
$auth = new OAuth($sandbox, $handler, 'rest.id', 'rest.secret');

$orders = new Orders($sandbox, $handler, $auth);

// create order
$response = $orders->create(Intent::Capture, 'USD', 10.0);

// you must redirect the user to approve the payment before you can capture
$redirectUrl = "https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/checkoutnow?token={$response['id']}";

...

// once the user has approved the payment, capture it
$response = $orders->capture($args['id']);

if ($response['status'] === 'COMPLETED') {
    echo 'payment processed!';
}
