Online payment using Paypal API

This tip explains about the Direct Payment API i.e how we can do online payment using
Direct Payment API.
n order to implement online payment for any website, we can use the PayPal
platform.PayPals platform accept both credit cards and PayPal account directly on the
website.
For the online payment, PayPal provides two API-based solutions: Direct Payment and
Express Checkout.
This tip explains about the Direct Payment API i.e how we can do online payment using
Direct Payment API.
In case of Direct Payment API,
the customer need not require to have a PayPal account for payment, rather they can
pay directly using the credit cards. We just need to display the user a page with text
fields, where the user will enter his credit card info and the amount to pay and of course
a submit button. In our case let's name the page as "Payment.aspx" and the button as
"btnPayment".
After entering the details of credit card info and the amount to pay, when the user click
on Submit button, the payment information is sent to PayPal using the PayPal
DoDirectPayment API operation. PayPal processes the payment information and the
amount sumitted by the user get transferred to the seller's paypal account. All these
API operation get executed in the background and when these are getting excuted, the
customer is still in the same payment page.

Steps to implement the Online payment using Direct Payment PayPal API:

Tips for speed up your algorithm in the CUDA

programming

Processs - 1: Creating PayPal sandbox account

Retrieving symbol information from crash dump on

Mac OS X

We first need a PayPal sandbox account in the PayPal Sandbox site

https://developer.paypal.com/. Once we have completed the sign up and verification
process, we should be able to log into our sandbox account.
Processs - 2: Create Test Accounts
After logged in, in the sandbox "Home" page we have a section called "Test Accounts".
Here we need to create one "Seller" and one "Buyer" test account. In the Test Account
section, click on "create a preconfigured account" link.

Select Website Payments Pro (Use to represent yourself as a merchant using Pro) for
the Account type, enter email and password, enter some amount, check "Add bank
account" and Click on create account. Once done, generate the API credentials from this
account and use it for testing. Lets say, the API credentials generated as below, these
credentials will be get used while doing online payment using DoDirectPaypalAPI.
Username = seller_1304145158_biz_api1.gmail.com
Password = 1304145176
Signature = AFcWxV21C7fd0v3bYYYRCpSSRl31A4leuYGgGdsuOs6VQyE-12KXdLQt
Create a buyer account:
Same procedure will be followed as that of seller, only the account type should be
"Buyer". After creation the details generated for buyer. Let's say in our case the details
is as below:
Credit Card: Visa 4060180243825030
Exp Date: 4/2016
Bank Account: Checking (Confirmed)
Routing Number: 325272063
Bank Account Number: 790406253446848

Processs - 3: Implementation at the Application level
After all the above set up, now the time is for Application level implementation.
Step-1: Add a web reference to the project.Enter the web service URL as
"https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/wsdl/PayPalSvc.wsdl" and add the service. A new
web refernce named as "com.paypal.sandbox.www" will be found inside the
WebReference folder.
Step - 2: Add a appsetting key in the web.config file in order to switch between
developmnet environment and production environment.
<appSettings>
<add key="PaypalEnvironment" value="Development" />
</appSettings>
Step - 3: Write code for the Pay button (btnPayment) click event.
Add namespace:using PaypalWebApplication.com.paypal.sandbox.www;
Class level variable declaration:-

private string _PaypalUrl;

private UserIdPasswordType _credential;
Here we will collect the following information from the customer which is to be used in
the DoDirectPayment operation:
Amount of the transaction, Credit card type, Credit card number, Credit card expiration
date, Credit card CVV value, Cardholder first and last name, Cardholder billing address.

Required Fields for the API opeartion are:

Method, IPAddress, CreditCardType, CreditCardNumber,
Street1, City, State, CountryCode, Zip, Amt.

FirstName, LastName,

With the absence of values for these required fields, the paypal transaction will get
failed.
The exection of
DoDirectPayment API operation results a response type of
DoDirectPaymentResponseType, which will contain the info like Ack code (Success,
SuccessWithWarning, or Failure), Amount of the transaction, PayPal transaction ID,
Error codes and messages etc.
we can also use DoDirectPaymentResponseType further to obtain various data about
the transaction made like PaymentStatus,paymenterrors,TransactionID etc
The information collected here is hardcoded, we can replace it with the value of the
corresponding text fields present in the Payment.aspx page. For the credit card info, we
are using the details generated for the buyer account .Below is the code for the button
click event.
protected void btnPayment_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Initialize the paypal inteface ,i.e set the url and the credentials
InitializePaypalInterface();

// Read Web.config to determine if we are using a Paypal for Production environment

or for Sandbox Environment
if (WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PaypalEnvironment"].ToLower() ==
"production")
{
// credentials for Production
url = "https://api-3t.paypal.com/2.0/";
cred.Username = "your username";
cred.Password = "your password";

}
_credential = cred;
_PaypalUrl = url;
}
After the execution if we go to the test account page and click the "view details" link of
seller/business account, then we can found the amount sumitted by the customer (here
hardcoded to $1000.00) has been added to the seller's account.
