Use PayPal

Place an order using catalog products defined in your Control Panel, and collect the payment using PayPal.

Currency support

Check with 2Checkout support for a list of currencies available for PayPal.

Workflow

1. Create the order object. Use PAYPAL as the type of the PaymentDetails object and send the shopper email and a return URL as part of the PaymentMethod object. Place the order.

2. Once you place the order, 2Checkout logs it into the system. At this point in time, the status of the order is PENDING. 2Checkout responds with the Order information object.

3. Redirect shoppers to the RedirectURL from the Order information object you receive as response from 2Checkout.

4. Once shoppers log into their PayPal account and complete the transaction, they're redirected to the ReturnURL you set in the order object. 2Checkout also authorizes the order and updates the status to AUTHRECEIVED.

5. If shoppers log in to their PayPal account and fail to complete the transaction or they cancel it, they're redirected to the CancelURL you set in the order object. 2Checkout updates the status to PENDING.
