eCommerce PayPal Integration

[Giulio Speri - MpStyle Srl]

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.

Hi Giulio,

Glad to know that the solution reference worked for you.
Some more details on available integration-

PayPal integration services implemented in OFBiz and available in 13.07.
You can refer services_paypal.xml for services already available for PayPal
and supports all the required methods-
Express Checkout, capture, void and refund. Implementation of these
services is done in PayPalServices.java.

HTH.

Best regards,
Pranay Pandey

Sounds like great work Giulio, I hope you get the chance to integrate some
of this work into the code base.

Thank you Taher,

if I succeed to implement the refund operation the payment flow is complete
and I will start to integrate the modifications into the base code, on my
dev installation of ofbiz to test it.
After that, if the community thinks that my work can be useful to improve
ofbiz, I'll we be more than happy to share what I did and make it available
for an integration :).
