Place an order with PayPal

Overview

Use the placeOrder method to create an order and collect the payment from PayPal.

Requirements

You're required to include the following text when using Avangate API and to make it visible for your customers in the ordering interface. 

Order processed by Avangate, authorized reseller and merchant of the products and services offered within this store. 

Currency support

Check with Avangate support for a list of currencies available for PayPal. 

Parameters

Workflow

1. Create the order object. Use PAYPAL as the type of the PaymentDetails object and send the shopper email and a return URL as part of the PaymentMethod object. Place the order.
2. Once you place the order, Avangate logs it into the system. At this point in time, the status of the order is PENDING. Avangate responds with the Order information object.
3. Redirect shoppers to the RedirectURL from the Order information object you receive as response from Avangate.
4. Once shoppers log into their PayPal account and complete the transaction, they're redirected to the ReturnURL you set in the order object. Avangate also authorizes the order and updates the status to AUTHRECEIVED.
