Steve, You are correct. You use @URL or Webcall to begin the transaction with PayPal.
They return a URL to you, which you redirect the user to by setting the httpheader and using a 302 redirect. You don’t need to include the @USERREFERENCE as long as the return url you provide to PayPal is at the same domain, this is because the cookie should still be active in the browser session. Including the @USERREFERENCEARGUMENT in the url won’t hurt, however. The most complex part of the process is building up the name value pairs and parsing the returns from paypal. Since some values are URLs, they need to be properly @URLENCODEd. PayPal offers a good sandbox environment to test the complete cycle, which is helpful. I know Ben Johansen is knowledgeable about this process if you are considering hiring a consultant. Robert From: Fogelson, Steve [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2014 11:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: TeraScript-Talk: PayPal Express Checkout Has anyone put together a TeraScript app for PayPal Express Checkout? It appears that PayPal requires a direct url to their site with customer info including total purchase amount. The customer logs in to PayPal and approves purchase and payment. Then PayPal redirects back to the originating site. Wondering about the logic to accomplish this in TeraScript. Assuming I would use the Web Call action to start the transaction with PayPal, but not sure about the redirect back from PayPal. It may take the customer a while to do their business on PayPal. Should the PayPal redirect url include the <@USERREFERENCE>? Thanks for any insight you can provide to accomplish this.
