# @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).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install --save @root/paypal-checkout
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
"use strict";
|
|
|
|
require("dotenv").config({ path: ".env" });
|
|
|
|
let PPC = require("@root/paypal-checkout");
|
|
PPC.init({
|
|
client_id: "xxxx",
|
|
client_secret: "****",
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
PPC.Subscriptions.createRequest({
|
|
// See https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/subscriptions/v1/#subscriptions
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|

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)
|
|
|
|
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.

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.
