In this article, we get familiar with the flow of your first transaction via PayPal. 

                     

Authorization


    The authorization is required for transmitting requests to SolidGate. It can be performed by signing each client's request to API. You should apply the merchant ID and its secret key to generate the signature. 

    

Kindly find the dev specifications on the matter here. 



PayPal button integration flow


First of all, kindly request PayPal sandbox credentials from your Account Manager or by request to support.solidgate.com. 


After receiving API keys to the PayPal sandbox environment, kindly follow the documentation. 


Short flow on how to generate PayPal button below:


1. Kindly send an init request to

https://gate.solidgate.com/api/v1/init-payment 


2. You will get responsive with "scriptUrl."


3. Display the following code on the page:


<div id="paypal-button"></div>

<script>

    var elem = document.getElementById('paypal-button');

    elem.addEventListener('order-started-processing', function (e) {

        console.log('order-started-processing',e);

    }, false);

    elem.addEventListener('order-processed', function (e) {

        console.log('order-processed',e);

    }, false);

    elem.addEventListener('order-already-processed', function (e) {

    }, false);

    elem.addEventListener('button-error', function (e) {

        console.log('button-error',e);

    }, false);
