I am trying to execute a PayPal Payout on a Node.Js environment, but I can't seem to wrap my head around it. The payment doesn't get made.
I think that I am not getting the parameters right, and, or maybe my code needs re-organizing.
Please help me wrap my head around it, and eventually start heading in the right direction?
Thank you all in advance.
LOCALLY ON THE CLIENT BROWSER:
<script>
paypal.Button.render({
env: 'sandbox', // Or 'production'
// Set up the payment:
// 1. Add a payment callback
payment: function(data, actions) {
// 2. Make a request to your server
return actions.request.post('/my-api/create-payment/')
.then(function(res) {
// 3. Return res.id from the response
return res.id;
});
},
// Execute the payment:
// 1. Add an onAuthorize callback
onAuthorize: function(data, actions) {
// 2. Make a request to your server
return actions.request.post('/my-api/execute-payment/', {
paymentID: data.paymentID,
payerID: data.payerID
})
.then(function(res) {
// 3. Show the buyer a confirmation message.
});
}
}, '#paypal-button');
</script>
