I have a question on how to get started on the latest PHP SDK, is this the correct place to post? The other relevant forum was REST APIs. Is that different?
Anyway, I have dowloaded the SDK and edited samples/PayPalClient.php and added my client ID and secret as in these lines:
$clientId = getenv("CLIENT_ID") ?: "I added my client id here";
$clientSecret = getenv("CLIENT_SECRET") ?: "and my secret here";
I made a copy of samples/CaptureIntentExamples/CreateOrder.php and renamed to MyCreateOder.php.
When I open a web browser and navigate to MyCreateOrder.php I see:
Status Code: 201
Status: CREATED
Order ID: <removed>BS875062H
Intent: CAPTURE
Links:
self: https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v2/checkout/orders/<removed>BS875062H Call Type: GET
approve: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/checkoutnow?token=<removed>BS875062H Call Type: GET
update: https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v2/checkout/orders/84102147BS875062H Call Type: PATCH
capture: https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v2/checkout/orders/84102147BS875062H/capture Call Type: POST
{
"id": "<removed>BS875062H",
"intent": "CAPTURE",
"status": "CREATED",
"purchase_units": [
etc
Which all looks right. Is that the correct way to get started?
But I am new to this and a lot of the terms don't mean much to me. Eg 'intent' => 'CAPTURE' Where do I find help on these terms. A basic tutorial would also be very useful.
Any help would be much appreciated.
