Express Checkout is a fast and very easy way for buyer to pay for the product they are buying.
In our previous blog post we have covered the PayPal Integration in PHP Using PDO using which you can sell products via PayPal securely without SDK.
But in this post we will be doing same task using PayPal PHP SDK with Express Checkout, which will help to collect more user information entered at the time of purchase.
According to PayPal adding the Express Checkout button to your website can increase your sales up to 18 percent.
Paypal Express Checkout for Single Product using PayPal PHP SDK
Note: Install.txt file is given in the download folder
Project Integartion
In our last post we have seen how to get Paypal App Id and App Secret, which is necessary to access PayPal PHP SDK.
Follow that post to learn how to get the credentials and put it in bootstrap.php file of this project to setup the required settings.
Then you will be ready to run the project. You can also refer the install.txt file given in download code folder.
PayPal Review Page Order Details
When a buyer logs in to PayPal to check out, you can present the buyer with detailed information about the item being purchased. PayPal order details are available with API version 53.0 or later.
The following diagram shows all of the details that you can include:
- Showing company/application logo
- Product name
- Showing Product prize
- Showing product quantity
- Total payable amount.
Tutorial Scripts in detail:
Below are the details of the code used in this tutorial with proper explanation.
MY-SQL Code
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `tbl_product_detail` (
`product_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`item_number` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`product_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`product_img` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`product_price` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`product_currency` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`product_dec` text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`product_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=4 ;
Note : When you will create database tables then you have to store the product information.
Connection.php
This is the file used for database connectivity. It is used for making connection variable by PDO (PHP Data Objects).
<?php
function connection_open() {
// Database credential
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
//Data base name
$dbname = "express_chekout";
try {
global $conn;
// Open the connection using PDO.
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=$dbname", $username, $password);
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
} catch (PDOException $e) {
// echo $sql . "<br>" . $e->getMessage();
die();
}
}
function connection_close() {
global $conn;
$conn = null;
}
?>
Function.php
This file contains all required function for database operation.
<?php
//This function is used for fetching all the records from the table
function Select_All_Records($table_name) {
global $conn;
$sql = "select * from $table_name";
try {
$stmt = $conn->query($sql);
return $stmt;
} catch (PDOException $e) {
print $e->getMessage();
}
}
//This function is used for fetching record with one Filter.
function Select_Record_By_One_Filter($data,$table_name){
global $conn;
$key = array_keys($data);
$value = array_values($data);
$sql = "select * from $table_name where $key[0] = '$value[0]'";
try {
$stmt = $conn->query($sql);
return $stmt;
} catch (PDOException $e) {
print $e->getMessage();
}
}
?>
Bootstrap.php
This file help to load and connect PayPal PHP SDK with your application.
<?php
// Include the composer Autoloader
// The location of your project's vendor autoloader.
$composerAutoload = 'PayPal-PHP-SDK/autoload.php';

$composerAutoload = 'PayPal-PHP-SDK/vendor/autoload.php';
if (!file_exists($composerAutoload)) {
echo "The 'vendor' folder is missing. You must run 'composer update' to resolve application dependencies.nPlease see the README for more information.n";
exit(1);
}
}

$mode = 'sandbox';
/** @var PaypalRestApiContext $apiContext */
$apiContext = getApiContext($clientId, $clientSecret);
return $apiContext;
function getApiContext($clientId, $clientSecret) {
// ### Api context
// Use an ApiContext object to authenticate
// API calls. The clientId and clientSecret for the
// OAuthTokenCredential class can be retrieved from
// developer.paypal.com
$apiContext = new ApiContext(
new OAuthTokenCredential(
$clientId, $clientSecret
)
);
// Comment this line out and uncomment the PP_CONFIG_PATH
// 'define' block if you want to use static file
// based configuration
global $mode;
$apiContext->setConfig(
array(
'mode' => $mode,
'log.LogEnabled' => true,

One Reply to “PayPal Express Checkout in PHP for Single Product”
Thanks for the great step-by-step tutorial! It helped me out a lot.
But I might have spotted a tiny mistake in the code snippet below. json_decode should be used on the $result not the $payment to get the return information.
// ### Payment Execute
// PaymentExecution object includes information necessary
// to execute a PayPal account payment.
// The payer_id is added to the request query parameters
// when the user is redirected from paypal back to your site
$execution = new PaymentExecution();
$execution->setPayerId($_GET[‘PayerID’]);
$result = $payment->execute($execution, $apiContext);
$obj = json_decode($payment);
Cheers,
Leo
