cfpayment PayPal Website Payments Pro Gateway

This page contains information on using and testing the two types of cfpayment gateways used with PayPal: Name-Value Pair and SOAP.

Name-Value Pair API

The cfpayment core is created with gateway configuration options like so:


config = structNew();
config.path = "paypal.wpp.NVPGateway";
config.username = "paypal_99999999_biz_api1.paypal.com";
config.password= "abc123xyz789";
config.signature= "AbcDEfgHiJKlMNoPQrstUvWXYz0123456789";
config.returnURL = "http://localhost/cfpayment/api/gateway/paypal/wpp/tests/NVPGatewayTest.cfc?method=runTestRemote&method=testCompleteExpressCheckout";
config.cancelURL = "http://localhost/cfpayment/api/gateway/paypal/wpp/tests/NVPGatewayTest.cfc?method=runTestRemote&method=testCancelExpressCheckout";

cfpayment = createObject("component", "cfpayment.api.core").init(config=config);
gateway = cfpayment.getGateway();

SOAP API

The PayPal SOAP API support is a big TODO right now.

Tests

The NVPGatewayTest MXUnit Test Case contains many individual tests, however it's best to call the two major test methods directly, as the Express Checkout process has a specific order. Before running the Express Checkout test, login to the PayPal Sandbox.

NVPGatewayTest.testPurchase(): Test the PayPal Direct Payment functionality of the gateway
NVPGatewayTest.testBeginExpressCheckout(): Test the PayPal Express Checkout process. The test call the PayPal server with the SetExpressCheckout command. It then forwards the browser to PayPal to authenticate and confirm payment details. The return URL is to the portion of the test class that: 1) gets customer details, and 2) completes the payment.
