PayPal Smart Gateway

[ShadovvBeast]

A new gateway, support the new version of paypal, dubbed "PayPal Smart".
This is a WIP, but it works for creating orders and charging

Thank you for this work. This is great. Can you create a plugin for this vs having us merge into the core plugin? Or with your permission I can create an official repository under the SS org for that.

This will allow us to have people use and test the gateway implementation without potentially affecting core users. We'd also be able to push fixes out more quickly. We'd like to move to a model where add-ons are used for gateways anyway.

Let me know if you'd like to do that (and we can fork it) or if we can create a repo and pull your work into it.

Thanks again.

btw, I would call it pmpro-paypal-smart

Is Smart Payment Buttons the official name of the gateway option?

Smart Connect seems to be something else.

If we think the Smart brand won't move outside buttons, we can call it pmpro-paypal-smart-payment-buttons for completeness.

Hi Jason, Thanks :) Feel free to do whatever you want with it, i'd love for it to be tested and improved of course, this is just the MVP(altough I do use it in production already). I'm not sure Smart Connect is the official name, I know they call the buttons "Smart Payment Buttons" but feel free to rename it as you see fit. ‫בתאריך יום ד׳, 18 במרץ 2020 ב-17:28 מאת ‪Jason Coleman‬‏ <‪ [email protected]‬‏>:‬

Hey @ShadovvBeast :) Nice work.

What's the difference between Smart Payment Buttons and PayPal Checkout? Just received a newsletter about the last one.

It's very similar to the new PayPal based checkout provided by Presta**op Checkout (don't want to talk about another cms here! 👯 ).

I believe PayPal Checkout effectively is Smart Payment Buttons, or rather PayPal Checkout uses Smart Payment Buttons. And PayPal Checkout is essentially the next generation on from PayPal Express, which in turn succeeded PayPal Standard. Basically multiple generations of the "click here and we'll take your money via PayPal's website" concept.

Could be wrong, no expert.

Could you let me know what I might be missing? I uploaded the plugin but it does not show any payment buttons.

@ShadovvBeast, does it backward support already created recurring subscription using Paypal express?

I'm not sure actually, if you find out i'd be glad to hear :)

I think this is not the right question. Since it’s a different gateway, does not need to be compatible with the other one. Old PayPal/PayPal Express orders will still be associated with the old Gateway and new orders will be associated to the new Gateway.

I have it as a separate plugin. How much would you charge to fix it? Whether live production or sandbox, the payments go as sandbox so Live production doesn’t actually process payments.
