Configure PayPal Plus Checkout

Warning: PayPalPlus Checkout requires the Pro version of the shop extension

PayPal Plus Account

You will need a PayPal account. Login to PayPal and open https://developer.paypal.com. Go to My Apps & Credentials in the menu and create a new app. Take note of whether you want to create a Live or a Sandbox account. After creating it, you should have the following information

• (Sandbox) Account: This is an email address.
• Client ID: This is a hash value that identifies the client.
• Secret: This is also a hash value. Make sure you keep it secret!

For testing purposes you will need an extra account which you can set up under https://developer.paypal.com/developer/accounts/.

Configure callback

Create a new webhook in the App & Credentials view on developer.paypal.com. The webhook is triggered by a Payment sale completed event and will receive the callback URL from your TYPO3. Here is an example of a callback URL:

https://test9.t3co.de/checkout?tx_shop_basketorder%5Baction%5D=payPalPlusCallback&tx_shop_basketorder%5Bcontroller%5D=BasketOrder

Using human readable urls:

routeEnhancers:
  ShopCheckoutPlugin:
    type: Extbase
    limitToPages:
      - 4
    extension: Shop
    plugin: BasketOrder
    routes:
      - routePath: '/pay-pal-plus-callback'
        _controller: 'BasketOrder::payPalPlusCallback'

Warning:

If your environment is password protected the webhook can't be executed. Please make sure that the webhook can be accessed.

When a webhook is created the webhook ID is displayed. This ID is important for configuring checkout. (See Checkout configuration section)
