I'm using L5 and want to integrate my PayPal purchases into that system. The sandbox is already set up and I can do all my payments using the real PayPal API package, but as I want to try to do it with Omnipay I'm struggling a bit:

When I execute this code:

Route::get('test', function()
{
$gateway = Omnipay::create('PayPal_Rest');
$gateway->setClientId('{my id}');
$gateway->setSecret('{my secret}');
$gateway->setTestMode(true);

$params = array(
    'cancelUrl' => 'http://webshop.app',
    'returnUrl' => 'http://webshop.app/testresp',
    'name'  => 'Your Purchase',
    'description' => 'Your Description',
    'amount' => '15.99',
    'currency' => 'EUR'
);

Session::put('params', $params);
Session::save();

$resp = $gateway->purchase($params)->send();

if ($resp->isSuccessful()) {
    // payment was successful: update database
    print_r($resp);
} elseif ($resp->isRedirect()) {
    // redirect to offsite payment gateway
     $resp->redirect();
} else {
    // payment failed: display message to customer echo
     $resp->getMessage();
}
});

I get this: InvalidRequestException in AbstractRequest.php line 122: The card parameter is required

Seems like I would have to initiate that purchase with credit card information of the client, which I do not want to gather (hence using PayPal in the first place). Is there any way to use that API without usage of a credit card?

I don't like the usage of the Express API as I don't want my PayPal username and password within my code. For several reasons.

The Card array field is required. it's not required to insert credit card number, but you will need to provide some information.

From the official docs:

Even off-site gateways make use of the CreditCard object, because often you need to pass customer billing or shipping details through to the gateway.

Check out the following branch of my fork of the omnipay-paypal gateway code: https://github.com/delatbabel/omnipay-paypal/tree/accept-paypal-payments

That includes code that allows you not to pass through a credit card and have PayPal do the payment processing.

I have submitted a PR but it hasn't been merged into the main omnipay-paypal repository yet.

  • Well, there is no example of use and looks to me its just forked omnipay. What makes it different then original omnipay? – Vladd Jul 18 '15 at 02:38
  • It has since been merged into the main branch so check there for usage and examples in the class docblocks – delatbabel Jul 18 '15 at 09:28
