There are 3 ways to execute and create a payment as mentioned here
- Client side REST
- Server side REST
- Braintree SDK
What we used was Client side REST. Code integration found on their website:
paypal.Button.render({
env: 'sandbox', // sandbox | production
// PayPal Client IDs - replace with your own
// Create a PayPal app: https://developer.paypal.com/developer/applications/create
client: {
sandbox: 'AZDxjDScFpQtjWTOUtWKbyN_bDt4OgqaF4eYXlewfBP4-8aqX3PiV8e1GWU6liB2CUXlkA59kJXE7M6R',
production: '<insert production client id>'
},
// Show the buyer a 'Pay Now' button in the checkout flow
commit: true,
// payment() is called when the button is clicked
payment: function(data, actions) {
// Make a call to the REST api to create the payment
return actions.payment.create({
transactions: [
{
amount: { total: '0.01', currency: 'USD' }
}
]
});
},
// onAuthorize() is called when the buyer approves the payment
onAuthorize: function(data, actions) {
// Make a call to the REST api to execute the payment
return actions.payment.execute().then(function() {
window.alert('Payment Complete!');
});
}
}, '#paypal-button-container');
Is this safe?
client: {
sandbox: 'AZDxjDScFpQtjWTOUtWKbyN_bDt4OgqaF4eYXlewfBP4-8aqX3PiV8e1GWU6liB2CUXlkA59kJXE7M6R',
production: '<insert production client id>'
},
We are exposing our client id on the client side which others might be able to get and use it.
Thanks and more power
