Hello,
I am trying to integrating Paypal on my application. This application will allow people to sell tokens between them. So the money doesn't go to me, but to the payees.
I first used smart button directly on my front-end (https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/integrate/). I just had to add a payee field and it worked perfectly fine. 0 bug, no issue.
But now, I want to make the integration on a NodejS back-end, because it is more secure for me.
And despite I am doing exactly the same thing (create order -> capturing order), I am getting this error :
{"name":"NOT_AUTHORIZED","details":[{"issue":"PAYEE_NOT_CONSENTED","description":"Payee does not have appropriate consent to allow the API caller to process this type of transaction on their behalf. Your current setup requires the 'payee' to provide a consent before this transaction can be processed successfully."}],"message":"Authorization failed due to insufficient permissions.","debug_id":"300756d694c77","links":[{"href":"https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#error-PAYEE_NOT_CONSENTED","rel":"information_link","method":"GET"}]}
Why ? Why it has no issue doing this kind of operation with smart button, but I can't do it with the checkout sdk on nodejs and need the payee consent ?
Whats the difference ?
Needing the consent or any kind of operation from the payee is really annoying for me, because I need payee to sell their tokens with the minimal of action to do it.
And I don't see whats the difference between doing it with smart button, or with a back-end.
Btw here is my code :
const paypal = require('@paypal/checkout-server-sdk')
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "prod") {
APP_SETTINGS = require('src/PRIVATE_APP_SETTINGS.json').prod;
var environment = new paypal.core.LiveEnvironment(APP_SETTINGS.paypal.paypal_client_id, APP_SETTINGS.paypal.paypal_secret);
} else {
APP_SETTINGS = require('src/PRIVATE_APP_SETTINGS.json').dev;
var environment = new paypal.core.SandboxEnvironment(APP_SETTINGS.paypal.paypal_client_id, APP_SETTINGS.paypal.paypal_secret);
}
var client = new paypal.core.PayPalHttpClient(environment);
function createPayment(info)
{
const body = {
intent: 'CAPTURE',
purchase_units: [{
amount:
{
value: info.usdAmount,
currency_code: 'USD'
},
payee: {
email_address: info.paypalEmail
}
}],
}
let request = new paypal.orders.OrdersCreateRequest()
request.requestBody(body)
return client.execute(request).then(res => {
return {res: true, id: res.result.id}
}).catch(err => {
if (err) {
console.error(err.message);
}
return {res: false}
})
}
function executePayment(info)
{
console.log(info)
const request = new paypal.orders.OrdersCaptureRequest(info.orderId)
request.requestBody({})
return client.execute(request).then((result) => {
console.log("Payment suceed")
return {res: true}
}).catch(err => {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
}
return {res: false}
})
}
