About
-----

Django PayPal is a pluggable application that implements with PayPal Payments
Standard and Payments Pro.

Before diving in, a quick review of PayPal's payment methods is in order! [PayPal Payments Standard](https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/wp_standard_overview/) is the "Buy it Now" buttons you may have
seen floating around the internets. Buyers click on the button and are taken to PayPal's website where they can pay for the product. After completing the purchase PayPal makes an HTTP POST to your `notify_url`. PayPal calls this process [Instant Payment Notification](https://cms.paypal.com/cms_content/US/en_US/files/developer/PP_OrderMgmt_IntegrationGuide.pdf) (IPN) but you may know it as [webhooks](http://blog.webhooks.org). This method kinda sucks because it drops your customers off at PayPal's website but it's easy to implement and doesn't require SSL.

PayPal Payments Pro allows you to accept payments on your website. It contains two distinct payment flows - Direct Payment allows the user to enter credit card information on your website and pay on your website. Express Checkout sends the user over to PayPal to confirm their payment method before redirecting back to your website for confirmation. PayPal rules state that both methods must be implemented.

There is currently an active discussion over the handling of some of the finer points of the PayPal API and the evolution of this code base - check it out over at [Django PayPal on Google Groups](http://groups.google.com/group/django-paypal).


Using PayPal Payments Standard IPN:
-------------------------------

1. Download the code from GitHub:

git clone git://github.com/johnboxall/django-paypal.git paypal

1. Edit `settings.py` and add `paypal.standard.ipn` to your `INSTALLED_APPS`
and `PAYPAL_RECEIVER_EMAIL`:

# settings.py
...
INSTALLED_APPS = (... 'paypal.standard.ipn', ...)
...
PAYPAL_RECEIVER_EMAIL = "[email protected]"

1. Create an instance of the `PayPalPaymentsForm` in the view where you would
like to collect money. Call `render` on the instance in your template to
write out the HTML.

# views.py
...
from paypal.standard.forms import PayPalPaymentsForm
def view_that_asks_for_money(request):
# What you want the button to do.
paypal_dict = {
"business": "[email protected]",
"amount": "10000000.00",
"item_name": "name of the item",
"invoice": "unique-invoice-id",
"notify_url": "http://www.example.com/your-ipn-location/",
"return_url": "http://www.example.com/your-return-location/",
"cancel_return": "http://www.example.com/your-cancel-location/",
}
# Create the instance.
form = PayPalPaymentsForm(initial=paypal_dict)
context = {"form": form}
return render_to_response("payment.html", context)
<!-- payment.html -->
...
<h1>Show me the money!</h1>
<!-- writes out the form tag automatically -->
{{ form.render }}

1. When someone uses this button to buy something PayPal makes a HTTP POST to
your "notify_url". PayPal calls this Instant Payment Notification (IPN).
The view `paypal.standard.ipn.views.ipn` handles IPN processing. To set the
correct `notify_url` add the following to your `urls.py`:

# urls.py
...
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^something/hard/to/guess/', include('paypal.standard.ipn.urls')),
)

1. Whenever an IPN is processed a signal will be sent with the result of the
transaction. Connect the signals to actions to perform the needed operations
when a successful payment is recieved.

There are four signals for basic transactions:
- `payment_was_successful`
- `payment_was_flagged`
- `payment_was_refunded`
- `payment_was_reversed`

And four signals for subscriptions:
- `subscription_cancel` - Sent when a subscription is cancelled.
- `subscription_eot` - Sent when a subscription expires.
- `subscription_modify` - Sent when a subscription is modified.
- `subscription_signup` - Sent when a subscription is created.

Several more exist for recurring payments:
- `recurring_create` - Sent when a recurring payment is created.
- `recurring_payment` - Sent when a payment is received from a recurring payment.
- `recurring_cancel` - Sent when a recurring payment is cancelled.
- `recurring_suspend` - Sent when a recurring payment is suspended.
- `recurring_reactivate` - Sent when a recurring payment is reactivated.

Connect to these signals and update your data accordingly. [Django Signals Documentation](http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/signals/).

# models.py
...
from paypal.standard.ipn.signals import payment_was_successful
def show_me_the_money(sender, **kwargs):
ipn_obj = sender
# Undertake some action depending upon `ipn_obj`.
if ipn_obj.custom == "Upgrade all users!":
Users.objects.update(paid=True)
payment_was_successful.connect(show_me_the_money)
Using PayPal Payments Standard PDT:
-----------------------------------

Paypal Payment Data Transfer (PDT) allows you to display transaction details to a customer immediately on return to your site unlike PayPal IPN which may take some seconds. [You will need to enable PDT in your PayPal account to use it.your PayPal account to use it](https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/howto_html_paymentdatatransfer).

1. Download the code from GitHub:

git clone git://github.com/johnboxall/django-paypal.git paypal

1. Edit `settings.py` and add `paypal.standard.pdt` to your `INSTALLED_APPS`. Also set `PAYPAL_IDENTITY_TOKEN` - you can find the correct value of this setting from the PayPal website:

# settings.py
...
INSTALLED_APPS = (... 'paypal.standard.pdt', ...)
PAYPAL_IDENTITY_TOKEN = "xxx"

1. Create a view that uses `PayPalPaymentsForm` just like in PayPal IPN.

1. After someone uses this button to buy something PayPal will return the user to your site at
your "return_url" with some extra GET parameters. PayPal calls this Payment Data Transfer (PDT).
The view `paypal.standard.pdt.views.pdt` handles PDT processing. to specify the correct
`return_url` add the following to your `urls.py`:

# urls.py
...
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^paypal/pdt/', include('paypal.standard.pdt.urls')),
...
)

Using PayPal Payments Standard with Subscriptions:
--------------------------------------------------

1. For subscription actions, you'll need to add a parameter to tell it to use the subscription buttons and the command, plus any
subscription-specific settings:

# views.py
...
paypal_dict = {
"cmd": "_xclick-subscriptions",
"business": "your_account@paypal",
"a3": "9.99", # monthly price
"p3": 1, # duration of each unit (depends on unit)
"t3": "M", # duration unit ("M for Month")
"src": "1", # make payments recur
"sra": "1", # reattempt payment on payment error
"no_note": "1", # remove extra notes (optional)
"item_name": "my cool subscription",
"notify_url": "http://www.example.com/your-ipn-location/",
"return_url": "http://www.example.com/your-return-location/",
"cancel_return": "http://www.example.com/your-cancel-location/",
}

# Create the instance.
form = PayPalPaymentsForm(initial=paypal_dict, button_type="subscribe")
# Output the button.
form.render()


Using PayPal Payments Standard with Encrypted Buttons:
------------------------------------------------------

Use this method to encrypt your button so sneaky gits don't try to hack it. Thanks to [Jon Atkinson](http://jonatkinson.co.uk/) for the [tutorial](http://jonatkinson.co.uk/paypal-encrypted-buttons-django/).

1. Encrypted buttons require the `M2Crypto` library:

easy_install M2Crypto


1. Encrypted buttons require certificates. Create a private key:

openssl genrsa -out paypal.pem 1024

1. Create a public key:

openssl req -new -key paypal.pem -x509 -days 365 -out pubpaypal.pem

1. Upload your public key to the paypal website (sandbox or live).

[https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-website-cert](https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-website-cert)

[https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-website-cert](https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-website-cert)

1. Copy your `cert id` - you'll need it in two steps. It's on the screen where
you uploaded your public key.

1. Download PayPal's public certificate - it's also on that screen.

1. Edit your `settings.py` to include cert information:

# settings.py
PAYPAL_PRIVATE_CERT = '/path/to/paypal.pem'
PAYPAL_PUBLIC_CERT = '/path/to/pubpaypal.pem'
PAYPAL_CERT = '/path/to/paypal_cert.pem'
PAYPAL_CERT_ID = 'get-from-paypal-website'

1. Swap out your unencrypted button for a `PayPalEncryptedPaymentsForm`:

# views.py
from paypal.standard.forms import PayPalEncryptedPaymentsForm
def view_that_asks_for_money(request):
...
# Create the instance.
form = PayPalPaymentsForm(initial=paypal_dict)
# Works just like before!
form.render()


Using PayPal Payments Standard with Encrypted Buttons and Shared Secrets:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This method uses Shared secrets instead of IPN postback to verify that transactions
are legit. PayPal recommends you should use Shared Secrets if:

* You are not using a shared website hosting service.
* You have enabled SSL on your web server.
* You are using Encrypted Website Payments.
* You use the notify_url variable on each individual payment transaction.

Use postbacks for validation if:
* You rely on a shared website hosting service
* You do not have SSL enabled on your web server

1. Swap out your button for a `PayPalSharedSecretEncryptedPaymentsForm`:

# views.py
from paypal.standard.forms import PayPalSharedSecretEncryptedPaymentsForm
def view_that_asks_for_money(request):
...
# Create the instance.
form = PayPalSharedSecretEncryptedPaymentsForm(initial=paypal_dict)
# Works just like before!
form.render()
1. Verify that your IPN endpoint is running on SSL - `request.is_secure()` should return `True`!


Using PayPal Payments Pro (WPP)
-------------------------------

WPP is the more awesome version of PayPal that lets you accept payments on your
site. WPP reuses code from `paypal.standard` so you'll need to include both
apps.

1. Obtain PayPal Pro API credentials: login to PayPal, click *My Account*,
*Profile*, *Request API credentials*, *Set up PayPal API credentials and
permissions*, *View API Signature*.

2. Edit `settings.py` and add `paypal.standard` and `paypal.pro` to your
`INSTALLED_APPS` and put in your PayPal Pro API credentials.

# settings.py
...
INSTALLED_APPS = (... 'paypal.standard', 'paypal.pro', ...)
PAYPAL_TEST = True
PAYPAL_WPP_USER = "???"
PAYPAL_WPP_PASSWORD = "???"
PAYPAL_WPP_SIGNATURE = "???"

3. Run `python manage.py syncdb` to add the required tables.

4. Write a wrapper view for `paypal.pro.views.PayPalPro`:

# views.py
from paypal.pro.views import PayPalPro

def buy_my_item(request):
item = {"amt": "10.00", # amount to charge for item
"inv": "inventory", # unique tracking variable paypal
"custom": "tracking", # custom tracking variable for you
"cancelurl": "http://...", # Express checkout cancel url
"returnurl": "http://..."} # Express checkout return url
kw = {"item": item, # what you're selling
"payment_template": "payment.html", # template name for payment
"confirm_template": "confirmation.html", # template name for confirmation
"success_url": "/success/"} # redirect location after success
ppp = PayPalPro(**kw)
return ppp(request)


5. Create templates for payment and confirmation. By default both templates are
populated with the context variable `form` which contains either a
`PaymentForm` or a `Confirmation` form.

<!-- payment.html -->
<h1>Show me the money</h1>
<form method="post" action="">
{{ form }}
<input type="submit" value="Pay Up">
</form>
<!-- confirmation.html -->
<h1>Are you sure you want to buy this thing?</h1>
<form method="post" action="">
{{ form }}
<input type="submit" value="Yes I Yams">
</form>

6. Add your view to `urls.py`, and add the IPN endpoint to receive callbacks
from PayPal:

# urls.py
...
urlpatterns = ('',
...
(r'^payment-url/$', 'myproject.views.buy_my_item')
(r'^some/obscure/name/', include('paypal.standard.ipn.urls')),
)

7. Connect to the provided signals and have them do something useful:
- `payment_was_successful`
- `payment_was_flagged`


8. Profit.
