PayPal Gateway

Note

This gateway is a wrapper to the django-paypal package. Please download it to be able to use the gateway.

The PayPal gateway is an implementation of the PayPal Website Payments Pro product.

Usage

• Setup a PayPal Website Payments Pro account and obtain the API details.

• Add paypal.standard and paypal.pro (apps from django-paypal) to the INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py.

• Also add the following attributes to your settings.py:

  MERCHANT_TEST_MODE = True    # Toggle for live transactions
  MERCHANT_SETTINGS = {
      "pay_pal": {
          "WPP_USER" : "???",
          "WPP_PASSWORD" : "???",
          "WPP_SIGNATURE" : "???"
      }
  }
  
  # Since merchant relies on django-paypal
  # you have to additionally provide the
  # below attributes
  PAYPAL_TEST = MERCHANT_TEST_MODE
  PAYPAL_WPP_USER = MERCHANT_SETTINGS["pay_pal"]["WPP_USER"]
  PAYPAL_WPP_PASSWORD = MERCHANT_SETTINGS["pay_pal"]["WPP_PASSWORD"]
  PAYPAL_WPP_SIGNATURE = MERCHANT_SETTINGS["pay_pal"]["WPP_SIGNATURE"]
  

• Run python manage.py syncdb to get the response tables.

• Use the gateway instance:

  >>> g1 = get_gateway("pay_pal")
  >>>
  >>> cc = CreditCard(first_name= "Test",
  ...                last_name = "User",
  ...                month=10, year=2011,
  ...                number="4222222222222",
  ...                verification_value="100")
  >>>
  >>> response1 = g1.purchase(100, cc, options = {"request": request, ...})
  >>> response1
  {"status": "SUCCESS", "response": <PayPalNVP object>}
  

Note

The PayPal gateway expects you pass the request object as a part of the options dictionary because the client’s IP address may be used for fraud detection.
