I need script for Paypal Recurring Payment using Payal Express Checkout. I also need to Update and cancel the recurring payment.

Answer 1

To post succsessifuly your code, must set some additional parameters. Also I clean some additional errors that you will find if compare two examples. The main things are:

1. $returnURL and $cancelURL must be a real URL and without method urlencode()
2. $version must be set to urlencode('124.0') ;
3. Parameters for SetExpressCheckout must be set as in the example.

4. I recommend to test on live just set the price in $0.01

   Follow the example below:

/** SetExpressCheckout NVP example; last modified 08MAY23.
 *
 *  Initiate an Express Checkout transaction. 
*/

$environment = 'live';   // or 'beta-sandbox' or 'live'


/**

 * @param   string  The API method name
 * @param   string  The POST Message fields in &name=value pair format
 * @return  array   Parsed HTTP Response body

    global $environment;

    $API_Signature = urlencode('super_secret_signature');

    $API_Endpoint = "https://api-3t.paypal.com/nvp";

    if("sandbox" === $environment || "beta-sandbox" === $environment) {

        $API_Endpoint = "https://api-3t.$environment.paypal.com/nvp";

    }

    $version = urlencode('124.0');



    // Set the curl parameters.

    $ch = curl_init();

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $API_Endpoint);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
