Paypal Checkout SDK

Introduction

This Package is a PHP SDK wrapper around version 2 of the PayPal rest API. It provides a simple, fluent API to create and capture orders with both sandbox and production environments supported.

Here are some quick code examples of what you can do:

Create an Order

// Create a purchase unit with the total amount
$purchase_unit = new PurchaseUnit(AmountBreakdown::of('100.00'));

// Create & add item to purchase unit
$purchase_unit->addItem(Item::make('Item 1', '100.00', 'USD', 1));

// Create a new order with intent to capture a payment
$order = (new Order())->addPurchaseUnit($purchase_unit);

// Send request to PayPal
$response = $client->send(new OrderCreateRequest($order));

Show an Order

// Create an order show http request
$request = new OrderShowRequest($order_id);

// Send request to PayPal
$response = $client->send($request);

// Get results
$result = json_decode($response->getBody()->getContents());

Capture an Order

// Create an order capture http request
$request = new OrderCaptureRequest($order_id);

// Send request to PayPal
$response = $client->send($request);

// Get results
$result = json_decode($response->getBody()->getContents());

- PayPal\Checkout\Environment\Environment to PayPal\Http\Environment\Environment.
- PayPal\Checkout\Environment\ProductionEnvironment to PayPal\Http\Environment\ProductionEnvironment.

Basic Usage

Create an Order

An order represents a payment between two or more parties. and inorder to create a new order we must send an OrderCreateRequest to PayPal API.

use PayPal\Checkout\Requests\OrderCreateRequest;
use PayPal\Checkout\Orders\AmountBreakdown;
use PayPal\Checkout\Orders\Item;
use PayPal\Checkout\Orders\Order;
use PayPal\Checkout\Orders\PurchaseUnit;

// Create a purchase unit with the total amount
$purchase_unit = new PurchaseUnit(AmountBreakdown::of('200.00', 'USD'));

// Create & add item to purchase unit
$purchase_unit->addItem(Item::make('Item 1', '100.00', 'USD', 1));
$purchase_unit->addItem(Item::make('Item 2', '100.00', 'USD', 1));

// Create a new order with intent to capture a payment
$order = (new Order())->addPurchaseUnit($purchase_unit);

// Send request to PayPal
$response = $client->send(new OrderCreateRequest($order));

// Get results
$result = json_decode($response->getBody()->getContents());

A successful request returns the HTTP 201 Created status code and a JSON response body that includes by default a minimal response with the ID, status, and HATEOAS links.

{
    "id": "8F783829JA718493L",
    "status": "CREATED",
    "links": [
        {
            "href": "https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v2/checkout/orders/8F783829JA718493L",
            "rel": "self",
            "method": "GET"
        },
        {
            "href": "https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/checkoutnow?token=8F783829JA718493L",
            "rel": "approve",
            "method": "GET"
        },
        {
            "href": "https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v2/checkout/orders/8F783829JA718493L",
            "rel": "update",
            "method": "PATCH"
        },
        {
            "href": "https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v2/checkout/orders/8F783829JA718493L/capture",
            "rel": "capture",
            "method": "POST"
        }
    ]
}

Show an Order

Inorder to show an order we must send an OrderShowRequest to PayPal API with order_id in question.

use PayPal\Checkout\Requests\OrderShowRequest;

// Get order id from database or request
$order_id = '8F783829JA718493L';

// Create an order show http request
$request = new OrderShowRequest($order_id);

// Send request to PayPal
$response = $client->send($request);

// Get results
$result = json_decode($response->getBody()->getContents());

A successful request returns the HTTP 200 status code and a JSON response body that includes by default a minimal response with the ID, status, and HATEOAS links.

Capture an Order

To successfully capture payment for an order, the buyer must first approve the order or a valid payment_source must be provided in the request. A buyer can approve the order upon being redirected to the rel: approve URL that was provided the HATEOAS links in the response.

A successful response to a non-idempotent request returns the HTTP 201 Created status code with a JSON response body that shows captured payment details. If a duplicate response is retried, returns the HTTP 200 OK status code. By default, the response is minimal.

Catching Errors

If a payment is not yet approved by the buyer, An error response with status code 422 is returned with a JSON response body that shows errors.

Inorder to catch validation errors from PayPal, you can add the following:
