3.2 Checkout

Activate paypal checkout with the following env var.

PAYPAL_CHECKOUT_ACTIVATED=true

Add the PayPal SDK to your blade templates as follows

@include('laravel-paypal::checkout.sdk')

💡 You don't have to be worried about when to include this SDK. The component checks for PAYPAL_CHECKOUT_ACTIVATED and then include the JavaScript SDK in case the value were true.

Then you can add the Smart Payment Button like this

@include('laravel-paypal::checkout.button')

⚠️ Finally, after the code of this button add the javascript code to handle it. This JS file is not intended to be used for production. It is just an example about how to handle the PayPal button.

<script src="{{ asset('js/paypal/checkout.js') }}" defer></script>

The checkout.js file contains values related to the purchase amount and purchase behaviour. For other values you can check the official documentation.

3.3 Subscriptions

Activate paypal subscriptions with the following en var.

PAYPAL_SUBSCRIPTION_ACTIVATED=true

You can interact with subscriptions Api through this PayPal SDK. Add the service provider to your providers[] array in config/app.php file like:

Pleets\LaravelPayPal\Providers\PayPalServiceProvider::class

Add the PayPal SDK to your blade templates as follows

@include('laravel-paypal::subscriptions.sdk')

💡 You don't have to be worried about when to include this SDK. The component checks for PAYPAL_SUBSCRIPTION_ACTIVATED and then include the JavaScript SDK in case the value were true.

4. Mocking

If you want to mock the PayPal Service for testing purposes, you need to overwrite the paypal testing configuration. You must create a testing.php file inside config/paypal folder and set up a specific handler like this.

'handler' => [
    'class' => PaymentGateway\PayPalApiMock\PayPalApiMock::class,
]

Feel free to use your own paypal mock, or you can use this PayPal Api Mock.

Finally, you should set up the following in your testing environment.

PAYPAL_HANDLER_ENABLED=true
