Subscription without PayPal Account using credit/debit card

[Temp20230524BA]

Hi I am working on a Integrating paypal in our web application so that users can subscribe to our subscription plans.

Let me tell you what I have done so far.

I created a rest app and using the ClientId and ClientSecret of the rest app I was able to

1.Creat a plan

2. Activate the plan

3.Create the Agreement and I got a url for confirmation and after confirmation I was able to create a subscription . But this process works only for users who have paypal account. 

I contacted the Merchant Technical Support regarding this . But I was not able get the exact solution. 

Some solutions provided by the MTS

1. Enhanced Recurring Payment

2.Enabling Paypal Payment Pro

I have already created a rest app and I was able to create the subscription, but according to MTS I dont have to create a rest app , I am confused here and I need to know what exact integration I should go ahead with.

I will also paste the java code which I have implemented so far.

try{
Plan plan = new Plan();
plan.setId("P-51X5509888001534KW7C3GMI");
Agreement agreement = new Agreement();
agreement.setPlan(plan);
agreement.setName("Orion Agreement");
agreement.setDescription("Plan creation Agreement");
agreement.setStartDate("2019-08-01T00:00:01Z");

//Now Create an object of credit card and add above details to it

//Address for the payment
Address billingAddress = new Address();
billingAddress.setCity("Los Angeles");
billingAddress.setCountryCode("US");
billingAddress.setLine1("Aplha street line 1");
billingAddress.setLine2("Beta street line 2");
billingAddress.setPostalCode("9001");
billingAddress.setState("California");

CreditCard card = new CreditCard();
card.setBillingAddress(billingAddress);
card.setCvv2("123");
card.setExpireMonth(9);
card.setExpireYear(2021) ;
card.setFirstName("Red");
card.setLastName("John");
card.setNumber("2221000000000009");
card.setType("mastercard");

// Now we need to specify the FundingInstrument of the Payer
// for credit card payments, set the CreditCard which we made above
FundingInstrument fundInstrument = new FundingInstrument();
fundInstrument.setCreditCard(card);
// The Payment creation API requires a list of FundingIntrument
List<FundingInstrument> fundingInstrumentList = new ArrayList<>();
fundingInstrumentList.add(fundInstrument);

Payer payer = new Payer();
payer.setPaymentMethod("credit_card");
payer.setFundingInstruments(fundingInstrumentList);
agreement.setPayer(payer);

ShippingAddress shippingAd = new ShippingAddress();
shippingAd.setLine1("111 First Street");
shippingAd.setCity("Saratoga");
shippingAd.setState("CA");
shippingAd.setPostalCode("95070");
shippingAd.setCountryCode("US");

Agreement agreementPlan = null;

try {
agreementPlan = agreement.create(apiContext);
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
log.info("setupPlan error - " + e.toString());

e.printStackTrace();
}

response.put("redirectURL", agreementPlan);
