will_paypal

= Paypal NVP

Will Paypal allow to connect your Ruby on Rails application to the Paypal NVP API. It's based on the Paypal NVP Gem https://github.com/solisoft/paypal_nvp but completely rewritten.

== Installation

The recommended way is that you get the gem:

$ sudo gem install will_paypal

Specify the API-Credentials within the constructor, add a logger. You can also use a 'settings.yml' to put everything there

All those fields are mandatory

sandbox: url: "https://api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com/nvp" (default) user: "o.bonn_1237393081_biz_api1.solisoft.net" password: "1237393093" signature: "AU2Yv5COwWPCfeYLv34Z766F-gfNAzX6LaQE6VZkHMRq35Gmite-bMXu" version: "72.0" (default)

live: url: "https://api-3t.paypal.com/nvp" (default) user: "o.bonn_1237393081_biz_api1.solisoft.net" password: "1237393093" signature: "AU2Yv5COwWPCfeYLv34Z766F-gfNAzX6LaQE6VZkHMRq35Gmite-bMXu" version: "72.0" (default)

== Example usage

p = WillPaypal.new(:user => Settings.payment.paypal.merchant, :password => Settings.payment.paypal.pass, :sandbox => Settings.payment.paypal.sandbox, :signature => Settings.payment.paypal.cert, :version => "72.0", :logger => logger)

data = { :method => "MyPaypalMethod", :amt => "55" # other params needed } result = p.call_paypal(data) # will return a hash puts result[:parsed_body]["ACK"] # Success

The Result-Hash looks like that:

:parsed_body=>{
  "TIMESTAMP"=>"2011-05-19T00:25:19Z",
  "BUILD"=>"1882144",
  "VERSION"=>"72.0",
  "CORRELATIONID"=>"correlationid",
  "TOKEN"=>"mytoken",
  "ACK"=>"Success"
  },
:status=>"200",
:body=>"TOKEN=mytoken&TIMESTAMP=2011%2d05%2d19T00%3a25%3a19Z&CORRELATIONID=correlationid&ACK=Success&VERSION=72%2e0&BUILD=1882144"
