paypal-v2-sdk

Installation

npm install paypal-v2-sdk

Usage

To write an app using this unofficial PayPal SDK (for v2 api)

• Register for a Developer account and get your client_id and client_secret from the PayPal Developer Portal
• Install paypal-v2-sdk (ensure dependency is in your package.json)
• Import paypal-v2-sdk in your file

import PayPal from "paypal-v2-sdk";

• Configure your PayPal instance (last param, true = sandbox, false = live)

PayPal.configure("YOUR CLIENT ID", "YOUR CLIENT SECRET", true);

• Authenticate your connection (you only need to do this once)

try {
  await PayPal.authenticate();
} catch (e) {
  console.error(e); // error while authenticating
}

Samples

Invoices

• Getting an invoice Returns instance of Invoice

import { default as PayPal, Invoice } from "paypal-v2-sdk";
// Specifying Invoice as the type is not necessary as #get() returns Invoice as the type, it
// is displayed here for information purposes only
const invoice: Invoice = await PayPal.Invoicing.get("id of invoice");

• Getting an invoice and then deleting it

import { default as PayPal, Invoice } from "paypal-v2-sdk";

const invoice: Invoice = await PayPal.Invoicing.get("id of invoice");
const deleted = await invoice.delete();
console.log(deleted); // true if deleted, false if not

• Creating an invoice object and then creating a draft invoice on PayPal (fetches next invoice number for you)

import { default as PayPal, Invoice } from "paypal-v2-sdk";
let invoice: Invoice = new Invoice(PayPal)
