  2. Redirect the user to that url

  3. When Paypal redirects the user back to your application at return_url make a call to get_paypal_permissions with the token parameter

See below for further details:

Private methods

set_paypal_permissions_url(return_url, required_permissions = {}) Returns a url where the user can sign in to Paypal and authorize the requested permissions. Paypal will then redirect the user to the return_url. Specify required_permissions by supplying a hash in the following format: { :mass_pay => true, :refund_transaction => true, :get_transaction_details => true } First name, Last name and email are always required permissions so you never have to specify these manually.

get_paypal_permissions(token) Returns a hash of user information and permission details for the given token in the following format: { :email => "joe@example.com", :first_name => "Joe", :last_name => "Bloggs", :payer_id => "VK7XZU4BDY79", :permissions => { :mass_pay => true, :refund_transaction => true, :get_transaction_details => true } }
