PayPal v6 Web SDK Sample Integration

This repository contains sample integrations for PayPal's v6 Web SDK. Learn how to:

• make one-time payments with different payment methods like PayPal and Venmo
• save payment methods for future transactions
• add Pay Later messaging (coming soon)

Before You Code

1. Setup a PayPal Account

   To get started, you'll need a developer, personal, or business account.

   Sign Up or Log In

   You'll then need to visit the Developer Dashboard to obtain credentials and to make sandbox accounts.

2. Create an Application

   Once you've setup a PayPal account, create a sandbox application to obtain a Client ID and Secret.

How to Run Locally

1. Clone the repository by running the following command in your terminal:

   git clone https://github.com/paypal-examples/v6-web-sdk-sample-integration.git

2. Create a .env file based on the .env.sample file at the root of this repository:

   cd v6-web-sdk-sample-integration
   cp .env.sample .env

3. Open the .env file in a text editor and add values for the PAYPAL_SANDBOX_CLIENT_ID and PAYPAL_SANDBOX_CLIENT_SECRET environment variables.
4. To run the server, choose a server implementation from the server folder at the root of this repository and follow the instructions in that folder's README. For example, for Node.js run:

   cd server/node
   npm install
   npm start

5. To view the sample integration in your browser, choose a front-end implementation from the client folder at the root of this repository and follow the instructions in that folder's README. For example, for the one-time payments html example run:

   cd client/one-time-payment/html
   npm install
   npm start
