Paypal Utility providing the paypal API

Project description

With this package you can easily use the PayPal NVP API in your Python or Zope / Plone based environment. It supports the ExpressCheckout and DirectPayment API from PayPal.

You will need a PayPal Developer Account.

Please note, that the DirectPayment API does only work with US or UK business accounts.

gocept.paypal

Base setup

First we need to import some packages and setup a testbrowser:

>>> import cgi
>>> import os
>>> import urlparse
>>> import zope.component
>>> import gocept.paypal.paypal
>>> import gocept.paypal.interfaces
>>> from zc.testbrowser.browser import Browser
>>> browser = Browser()
>>> browser.mech_browser.set_handle_robots(False)
>>> callback_url = os.environ['pp_api_callback_url']
>>> callback_cancel_url = os.environ['pp_api_callback_cancel_url']

Then, we need a PayPalDataProvider, which provides our PayPal API with the information about your PayPal buisness account and API Credentials:

>>> class PPData(object):
...     zope.component.adapts(gocept.paypal.interfaces.IPayPal)
...     zope.interface.implements(
...         gocept.paypal.interfaces.IPayPalDataProvider)
...
...     username = os.environ['pp_api_username']
...     password = os.environ['pp_api_password']
...     signature = os.environ['pp_api_signature']
...     version = os.environ['pp_api_version']
...     api_endpoint = os.environ['pp_api_endpoint']
...     paypal_url = os.environ['pp_api_url']
...     currency = os.environ['pp_currency']
...
...     def __init__(self, context):
...         self.context = context

Register the DataProvider at the SiteManager:

>>> gsm = zope.component.getGlobalSiteManager()
>>> gsm.registerAdapter(PPData)

This test runs in development mode, which means, that only virtual money is being tranfered. To get the things work, we have to be logged in at the Paypal Developer Site. In productive environment, this step is not needed:

>>> browser.open('https://developer.paypal.com/')
>>> browser.getControl(name='login_email').value =\
...     os.environ['pp_dev_username']
>>> browser.getControl(name='login_password').value =\
...     os.environ['pp_dev_password']
>>> browser.getControl(name='submit').click()
>>> 'Now loading,' in browser.contents
True

Using the PayPal ExpressCheckout API

Setup the paypal API:

>>> paypal = gocept.paypal.paypal.PayPal()

We now make a new payment request with the amount $1,00 and get back a token from the API. callback_cancel_url is the url, PayPal will redirect the buyer, if he manually cancels the transaction. In all other circumstances, callback_url will be used.

>>> amt = 1
>>> token = paypal.SetExpressCheckout(amt, callback_url,
...                                       callback_cancel_url)

Call the paypal site with the token as an argument, login and click continue. This step is in production environment done by the buyer.

>>> url = '%s%s' % (os.environ['pp_api_url'], token)
>>> browser.open(url)
>>> browser.getControl(name='login_email').value =\
...     os.environ['pp_buyer_username']
>>> browser.getControl(name='login_password').value =\
...     os.environ['pp_buyer_password']
>>> browser.getControl(name='login.x').click()
>>> browser.mech_browser.set_handle_redirect(False)
>>> browser.getControl(name='continue.x', index=0).click()
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
httperror_seek_wrapper: HTTP Error 302: Found
>>> browser.mech_browser.set_handle_redirect(True)

The User is now redirected to the callback_url. The token is submitted as a GET parameter which we need to catch:

>>> url = browser.mech_browser.response().hdrs['location']
>>> query_string = urlparse.urlparse(url)[4]
>>> token = cgi.parse_qs(query_string)['token'][0]

With the token, we now can, but must not, call GetExpressCheckoutDetails, which returns some information about the buyer and the status of his transaction. In most cases the call is neccessary to get the payerid, which is needed to finalize the process:

>>> express_tokens = paypal.GetExpressCheckoutDetails(token, callback_url,
...                                                   callback_cancel_url)
>>> express_tokens['ACK'] == 'Success'
True

To complete the transaction, we must call the DoExpressCheckoutPayment with many information about the transaction:

>>> payerid = express_tokens['PAYERID']
>>> pay_tokens = paypal.DoExpressCheckoutPayment(
...                 express_tokens['TOKEN'], payerid, amt, callback_url,
...                 callback_cancel_url)

The pay_tokens dictionary holds all neccessary information about the completed transaction. In the test case we only check, if everything is fine:

>>> pay_tokens['ACK']
'Success'

Controlling the Payment Process

Sometimes it is nessesary to change the default payment process. One case could be to show the payer not the login page, but already the billing page. It could be handy, if there is a percentage of users without a PayPal account.

To control the process, we use additional keyword arguments for SetExpressCheckout:

>>> amt = 1
>>> token = paypal.SetExpressCheckout(amt, callback_url,
...                                   callback_cancel_url,
...                                   LANDINGPAGE='Billing')

Call the paypal site with the token as an argument, login and click continue. This step is in production environment done by the buyer.

>>> url = '%s%s' % (os.environ['pp_api_url'], token)
>>> browser.open(url)
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE ...
...Create a PayPal Account or Log In...
>>> browser.getControl("First Name")
<Control name='first_name' type='text'>

Using the DirectPayment API:

If you buyers do not have a PayPal Account or you want to accept creditcard based direct payments, you may user the DoDirectPayment API, which needs some extra info like creditcard number and so on. Please refer to the PayPal API documentation for more info.

>>> pay_direct_token = paypal.DoDirectPayment(
...                 1.00,
...                 '192.168.0.1',
...                 os.environ['pp_buyer_cc_number'],
...                 '052018',
...                 '123',
...                 'David',
...                 'Duchovny',
...                 'VISA',
...                 'Mainstreet 21',
...                 'New York',
...                 'NY',
...                 '12345',
...                 callback_url,
...                 callback_cancel_url,
...         )
>>> pay_direct_token['ACK']
'Success'
