Using PayPal Payments Pro (WPP)ΒΆ
PayPal Payments Pro (or “Website Payments Pro”) is a more awesome version of PayPal that lets you accept payments on your site. This is now documented by PayPal as a Classic API and should not be confused with the “PayPal Payments Pro (Payflow Edition)” which is a newer API.
The PayPal Payments Pro solution reuses code from paypal.standard so you’ll
need to include both apps. django-paypal makes the whole process incredibly easy
to use through the provided PayPalPro
class.
Obtain PayPal Pro API credentials: login to PayPal, click My Account, Profile, Request API credentials, Set up PayPal API credentials and permissions, View API Signature.
Edit
settings.py
and addpaypal.standard
andpaypal.pro
to yourINSTALLED_APPS
and put in your PayPal Pro API credentials.INSTALLED_APPS = [ # .. 'paypal.standard', 'paypal.pro', ] PAYPAL_TEST = True PAYPAL_WPP_USER = "???" PAYPAL_WPP_PASSWORD = "???" PAYPAL_WPP_SIGNATURE = "???"
Write a wrapper view for
paypal.pro.views.PayPalPro
:In views.py:
from paypal.pro.views import PayPalPro def nvp_handler(nvp): # This is passed a PayPalNVP object when payment succeeds. # This should do something useful! pass def buy_my_item(request): item = {"paymentrequest_0_amt": "10.00", # amount to charge for item "inv": "inventory", # unique tracking variable paypal "custom": "tracking", # custom tracking variable for you "cancelurl": "http://...", # Express checkout cancel url "returnurl": "http://..."} # Express checkout return url ppp = PayPalPro( item=item, # what you're selling payment_template="payment.html", # template name for payment confirm_template="confirmation.html", # template name for confirmation success_url="/success/", # redirect location after success nvp_handler=nvp_handler) return ppp(request)
Create templates for payment and confirmation. By default both templates are populated with the context variable
form
which contains either aPaymentForm
or aConfirmation
form.payment.html:
<h1>Show me the money</h1> <form method="post" action=""> {{ form }} <input type="submit" value="Pay Up"> </form>
confirmation.html:
<!-- confirmation.html --> <h1>Are you sure you want to buy this thing?</h1> <form method="post" action=""> {{ form }} <input type="submit" value="Yes I Yams"> </form>
Add your view to
urls.py
, and add the IPN endpoint to receive callbacks from PayPal:from django.conf.urls import url, include from myproject import views urlpatterns = [ ... url(r'^payment-url/$', views.buy_my_item), url(r'^paypal/', include('paypal.standard.ipn.urls')), ]
Profit.
Alternatively, if you want to get down to the nitty gritty and perform some
more advanced operations with Payments Pro, use the paypal.pro.helpers.PayPalWPP
class directly.
If you are testing locally using the WPP sandbox and are having problems SSL, please see issue 145.
