Enable PayPal payments with Payum

By using Payum to integrate PayPal into your application, you can offer your customers a versatile payment processing service that supports various payment methods, including credit cards, debit cards, Pay Later options, and alternative payment methods.

Before you can proceed with integrating PayPal, you must create a PayPal business account and obtain API credentials.

Install the PayPal package:

composer require payum/paypal-express-checkout-nvp php-http/guzzle7-adapter

Then, add the following configuration to your YAML configuration file (payum.yaml or similar):

1

payum:
    gateways:
        pp_express_checkout:
            factory: paypal_express_checkout
            username: <paypal_username>
            password: <paypal_password>
            signature: <paypal_signature>

Tip

You can replace pp_express_checkout with a different unique identifier.

Ensure that the username, password, and signature fields contain the PayPal API credentials obtained from your PayPal business account.

You can now provide language translations for the PayPal payment service name. To do it, within the ibexa_payment_type namespace in your translation files, use the provided translation key structure for each of your supported languages:

1

ibexa:
    payment_method:
        type:
            pp_express_checkout:
                name: "Translated PayPal Express Checkout name"
