Paypal for Meteor

This project is archived because I am not able to maintain it anymore due to time restrictions and I no longer write using MeteorJS. If you want to make changes please fork the repo.

Meteor Package for easy Paypal payment processing.

Usage

mrt add paypal

Setup

If you haven't already, sign up for a developer account at: https://developer.paypal.com/

Create a sandbox application and copy your REST API CREDENTIALS.

Create a file server/paypal_config.js including:

  Meteor.Paypal.config({
    'host': 'api.sandbox.paypal.com',
    'port': '',
    'client_id': 'Your Paypal Client Id',
    'client_secret': 'Your Paypal Client Secret'
  });

Basic

Format is Meteor.Paypal.*transaction_type*({ {/*card data*/}, {/*transaction data*/}, function(err, res){...})

  Meteor.Paypal.authorize({
      name: 'Buster Bluth',
      number: '4111111111111111',
      type: 'visa',
      cvv2: '123',
      expire_year: '2015',
      expire_month: '01'
    },
    {
      total: '100.10',
      currency: 'USD'
    },
    function(error, results){
      if(error)
        //Deal with Error
      else
        //results contains:
        //  saved (true or false)
        //  if false: "error" contains the reasons for failure
        //  if true: "payment" contains the transaction information
    });

For information on the payment object returned see Paypal's Payment Option Documentation

Transaction types are: Meteor.Paypal.authorize and Meteor.Paypal.purchase for the difference, see Paypal's Documentation

Extras

Include {{> paypalCreditCardForm }} in a template. In the template's javascript file, include:

  Template.paypalCreditCardForm.events({
    'submit #paypal-payment-form': function(evt, tmp){
      evt.preventDefault();
      
      var card_data = Template.paypalCreditCardForm.card_data();
      
      //Probably a good idea to disable the submit button here to prevent multiple submissions.
      
      Meteor.Paypal.purchase(card_data, {total: '100.50', currency: 'USD'}, function(err, results){
        if (err) console.error(err);
        else console.log(results);
      });
    }
  });
