@root/paypal-checkout
In contrast to the official PayPal Checkout SDK - which is auto-generated code
with lots of abstraction without much value - this is very little abstraction,
but specificially designed to be (mostly) idiomatic JavaScript / Node.js.
(excuse the snake_case
- that's how the PayPal REST API is designed).

The Good Documentation™ for the PayPal API (a.k.a. PayPal Checkout SDK) is the "REST API". See
- https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/ (one-time payments)
- https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/subscriptions/v1/ (recurring subscriptions)

Notes
Note: Just about everything in the PayPal SDK that uses ALL_CAPS
is a
constant
/enum
representing an option you can pick from limited number of
options.
Sandbox accounts (for creating fake purchases) can be managed at: https://developer.paypal.com/developer/accounts
Note on Auth + Capture:
Authorization and capture enables you to authorize fund availability but delay fund capture. This can be useful for merchants who have a delayed order fulfillment process. Authorize & Capture also enables merchants to change the original authorization amount in case the order changes due to shipping, taxes, or gratuity.
For any payment type, you can capture less than or the full original authorized amount. You can also capture up to 115% of or $75 USD more than the original authorized amount, whichever is less.
