Use PayPal PHP Merchant SDK to settlements and refund all or part of a payment.

The PayPal refund API operation issues a refund to the PayPal account holder associated with a transaction. PayPal refund API operation can be used to issue a full or partial refund for any transaction.



For settlements and refund money, we have required one product’s transaction id to getting this please refer our previous blog PayPal Integration in PHP Using PDO

In this blog post, we are going to demonstrate how merchant issue refunds to their product’s buyer.

Tutorial Scripts in detail

Below are the details of the code used in this tutorial with proper explanation.

Index.php

In index.php merchant can put transaction id on given input box then click on Get Details button. After that, all transaction details will appear related to transaction id. Now merchants can refund full or partial amount to concerned person.

<?php
require_once('../PPBootStrap.php');
$transactionID_err = "";
if (isset($_POST['transID'])) {
/*
* The GetTransactionDetails API operation obtains information about a specific transaction.
*/
$transactionDetails = new GetTransactionDetailsRequestType();
/*
* Unique identifier of a transaction.
*/
$transactionDetails->TransactionID = $_POST['transID'];

$request = new GetTransactionDetailsReq();
$request->GetTransactionDetailsRequest = $transactionDetails;

/*
* ## Creating service wrapper object
Creating service wrapper object to make API call and loading
Configuration::getAcctAndConfig() returns array that contains credential and config parameters
*/
$paypalService = new PayPalAPIInterfaceServiceService(Configuration::getAcctAndConfig());
try {
/* wrap API method calls on the service object with a try catch */
$transDetailsResponse = $paypalService->GetTransactionDetails($request);
} catch (Exception $ex) {
include_once("../Error.php");
exit;
}
if ($transDetailsResponse->Ack == 'Failure') {
$transactionID_err = 'TransactionID is not valid.';
}
}
?>
