PHP Paypal API class

The class has a method to update an existing recurring payment. Per Paypal restrictions, recurring payments created with Express Checkout can only be changed by 20% every 180 days. Payments created directly with a credit-card do not have this restriction.

Hi Candace,

There are multiple ways to do that, the most simple one is to use the `sandbox()` static method -

Lionite_Paypal::sandbox(false)

See the section titled `Live and Sandbox modes` under the component description for more information.

Hi Marshal,

This class does not support the authorization-capture process.

You can only create one recurring profile per transaction. If you are using the Direct Payment (direct credit-card payment), you can make as many of those as you want in the same script once you have the credit-card details. Using Express Checkout (checking out on the Paypal website), you'd have to run one checkout per profile.

That's how you call object methods in PHP. You might want to go over OOP in PHP - http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.php

Oh, I see, the ">" is missing. The article says:

$result = $paypal - directPayment($data,$items);

But I think it should be:

$result = $paypal->directPayment($data,$items);

The other method calls in the article are like that as well. Maybe the right angle brackets are being stripped by your CMS?

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for noticing. I have notified the admins and they should resolve it shortly

Hi Hitori,

The component covers mass payment, note that you will need your account specifically enabled by Paypal for it to work. Refer to the section about mass payment in the component description for more information.

I am not sure what you mean by direct debit facilities - the API supports credit card payments using the Direct Payment API (also covered in the component description). You will need a Paypal Pro account to use that (only available in the U.S and the U.K).

Thank you, for your quick reply. It seems the direct payment api would work nicely, however, I need to be able to call the api from an array of credit card details. Does the api allow for direct input without needing a form? Also Australia now has Website Payment Pro.

This component provides a method to update an existing recurring payment profile. Not all profile parameters can be updated, for more information see the official documentation - https://www.x.com/developers/paypal/documentation-tools/api/updaterecurringpaymentsprofile-api-operation-nvp

We have no plans for developing similar components for different APIs.

Hi Jaime,

I didn't really understand your question. This component covers multiple APIs, including Express Checkout and Direct Payment which are different from each other. Please read the description on the component page for more details.

Hi Paul,

We previously had a free limited version, but we stopped distributing it. It doesn't seem that you've bought a license.
