Credit Cards with PayPal REST API


Credit Cards with PayPal REST API



My client uses the PayPal NVP API for processing both PayPal and credit cards payments. That appears to be deprecated or PayPal is encouraging upgrading to REST. I convinced my client to do the upgrade and while implementing it I noticed the following:



Important: The use of the PayPal REST /payments APIs to accept credit
card payments is restricted. Instead, you can accept credit card
payments with Braintree Direct.



That puts a serious wrench in my work.



A little more searching around and I find this option for accepting credit card payments with the REST API:



Guest payments with a credit card that is stored in the PayPal vault



This would imply to me that the Vault must be used on conjunction with guest payments. Can anyone confirm if that is the case?



It looks like to enable guest checkout payments "PayPal Account Optional" must be turned on which I have confirmed is on in my sandbox account.



The presumption I am now going on is credit card payments with the REST API will work as long as this option is on in the merchant's account, however, I don't find this clearly stated anywhere and I don't want to continue on swapping out APIs for my client if credit card payments via REST won't work now or at some point in the future. I also find it odd I don't find any example API calls in the Payments API using a credit card. I had to figure that one out on my own with a little help from Google.



I appreciate anyone's experience using the REST Payments API to process credit card payments given it's stated that it's "restricted".





I have found, finding help with the paypal rest and php sdk to be ... slim to none. If you do find an answer (or someone posts) it would be very beneficial. This whole 'braintree' junk is new, and we may be facing this very issue later down the line as well if switching from authorize.net.

Opening a url is failing in Swift

Opening a url is failing in Swift breakpointing inside the callback and logging success shows false. I added itms-apps to my plist: LSApplicationQueriesSchemes and put this in my app delegate: func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool { return true } func moreTapped() { let url = NSURL(string: "itms-apps://itunes.com/developer/quantum-productions/id979315877") if #available(iOS 10.0, *) { UIApplication.shared.open(url! as URL, options: [:], completionHandler: {(success: Bool) in }) } else { UIApplication.shared.openURL(url! as URL) } } Are you testing on a real device? – rmaddy Jun 21 at 23:57 I try on a device, get "Cannot Connect to App Store".

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV Normally I use Dbeaver for windows and always export my result set like this: run my query --> select the result --> export the result set --> select export to clipboard --> done This step by step puts my result set in my clipboard and I can paste it wherever I want to work with it. The problem is that now I am using dbeaver for mac and this guide is not working. I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select. As a result it does't select my result or anything (besides being "successful"). Normally my query would show up there automatically and I couldn't find any option that corrects this problem in the menus. Please help me! Thanks. Aft...
