Hello guys,
I am creating PayPal pays for first time.
Right now I want to do it according this article: PayPal Integration And IPN (Instant Payment Notification)
link to article: http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/433/paypal-payment-and-ipn-instant-payment-notification/#add-comment
What I want?
I am offering 3 types of Premium package on my site. User can choose one and pay it through PayPal. When it is payed I will change some informations in specific user.
So I need PayPal where custom field will be Order ID (from Order I know which User did the Order). After click on "Pay by PayPal" it will be redirected to PayPal page where will be price… After that I need to receive information if Order was payed or not - so I need IPN.
My questions to that article.
// Define LIVE constant as true if 'localhost' is not present in the host name. Configure the detecting of environment as necessary of course.
defined('LIVE') || define('LIVE', strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],'localhost')===false ? true : false);
if (LIVE) {
define('PAYPAL_SANDBOX',false);
define('PAYPAL_HOST', 'ipnpb.paypal.com');
define('PAYPAL_URL', 'https://ipnpb.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr');
define('PAYPAL_EMAIL',''); // live email of merchant
}else{
define('PAYPAL_HOST', 'www.sandbox.paypal.com');
define('PAYPAL_URL', 'https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr');
define('PAYPAL_EMAIL', ''); // dev email of merchant
define('PAYPAL_SANDBOX',true);
}
my config/main.php
return array {
//here is all settings
}
so that code should be out of array or where? How it should look?
And second question to this block is: dev email of merchant is my email which I used to register on PayPal or email of Test Acount?
Can I test IPN from my localhost?
From view file I confused with this block
$.post(Yii::app()->getRequest()->getBaseUrl().'order/create'; ?>',$('#orderForm').serializeArray(),function(orderResp) {
if(orderResp.error === undefined){
var action;
$('#paypalOrderId').val(orderResp.id);
$('#orderForm').attr({action:'<?php echo PAYPAL_URL?>',onsubmit:true}).submit();
}else{
alert(orderResp.error);
}
},'json');
why is there ?>? Where it started? And how should looks Create action in OrderController? I have never created new record like this.
So the result of my post is that I need step by step what I should do when I want to create PayPal pays. Maybe after I will do it I can make article step by step with all steps (also configuration in PayPal)
Thank you for all answers
