HI @MTS_Chiranjeevi thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to reply.   however https://www.paypal.com/apex/product-profile/p4p_ordersv2/createOrder documentation is a demo/simulator. That doesn't answer the question at all, the 2 links I provided are for the SAME API! so why does the documentation differ?   You explanation of payment flow is godd thank you ... View more

Thank you so much for answering.   I have an issue with this; why is it not made clear on the page that it has been changed, why is there no timestamp for 'last updated'? It appears that paypal are not transparent regarding changes to their API, why not? It would help users to know when the page/API was updated I don't understand paypal's attitude at all.   Secondly, no, the API does NOT work like it used to, I had a request using application_context working fine, now it does not, from the 'NEW' documentation it appears that we should now be using experience_context, but that requires a major change to the request flow.   I say the API does not work as it did, but of course for all I know Paypal may have changed the API/documentation again without telling anyone!!! (you see how important it is to keep people updated!) ... View more

The Create Order and Update Order APIs have changed recently, haven't they?   The Sample Requests provided have changed, I can't see an example of shipping fees anymore.   Am I missing something? I can't see enough info to be able to complete an online payment anymore? ... View more

In fact the sample request in the API documentation seems to have changed and displays an example that uses experience context, can application context still be used!?     curl -v -X POST https://api-m.sandbox.paypal.com/v2/checkout/orders \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer <Access-Token>" \ -H "PayPal-Request-Id: 7b92603e-77ed-4896-8e78-5dea2050476a" \ -d '{ "intent": "CAPTURE", "purchase_units": [ { "reference_id": "d9f80740-38f0-11e8-b467-0ed5f89f718b", "amount": { "currency_code": "USD", "value": "100.00" } } ], "payment_source": { "paypal": { "experience_context": { "payment_method_preference": "IMMEDIATE_PAYMENT_REQUIRED", "payment_method_selected": "PAYPAL", "brand_name": "EXAMPLE INC", "locale": "en-US", "landing_page": "LOGIN", "shipping_preference": "SET_PROVIDED_ADDRESS", "user_action": "PAY_NOW", "return_url": "https://example.com/returnUrl", "cancel_url": "https://example.com/cancelUrl" } } } }'   ...
