Hello everyone, I'm writing because we have integrated PayPal as payment method for our eCommerce site (running on ofbiz 13.07.03), and I'd like to share the thing with the community.
The request of integration of PayPal arrived to us after the eCommerce was already up and running, and since that the delivery time was quite short, me and my team chose to take and update the existing methods already present in OFBIZ, instead of integrate a complete new gateway (but this will be the future). As mentioned, we started from the PayPal java methods present in the accounting component, in PayPalEvents.java . We worked, updated and moved to Groovy the methods "callPayPal", that redirects customer to the PayPal payment gateway, and "payPalIPN", the listener that send and receive asynchronously IPN messages to/from PayPal servers. The original code was quite old and a good work of studying of the documentation on PayPal development guides was required. Now the payment flow works well (both sandbox and production), customers are paying with success and orders are auto processed, depending on IPN messages. The only part that we are still developing is the service for crediting back a transaction. We are looking for sending the credit request to PayPal via a NVPRequest (there is something on the online docs): could this be a good way? Is there anyone who have had similar problems? Anyway we keep trying and I am at disposal and happy to give further informations and explanations on the work done, to everyone interested in. Thanks to all for the attention and thanks in advance for any help or suggestion. Giulio
