PayPal REST API Payment System (PHP)
Written by Saran on September 6, 2014, Updated October 6, 2015
PayPal PHP SDK is included in downloadable file below, but you can get your own copy from github. If you are using composer, just point to downloaded file and give "composer update" command to have your SDK updated to latest version. Well, you can forget whole composer thing right now if it doesn't ring a bell!
Back to tutorial, I have created four files for my Online Cell Phone store, but we only need to focus on first two files to get things done. Other two files are helper script and cancellation page.
- Index.php - (Products page) contains list of products for sale.
- Order_process.php - Processes PayPal payment.
- Functions.inc.php - Helper script, contains functions needed for processing.
- Payment_cancel.html - PayPal redirects user to this page in-case of cancellation.
Products Page
In this page I have created list of items I want to sell, each item has HTML form, which contains its name, quantity, code and price ready to be posted to Order_process.php. I have tried using some CSS to make it look good, but hopefully you will do it better.PHP

<img src="images/cell_phone1.jpg" width="220" height="220">
<div class="item-name">Star mini S5</div>
<div class="btn-wrap">
<form action="order_process.php" method="post">
Qty:
<select name="qty">
<option>1</option><option>2</option><option>3</option><option>4</option><option>5</option><option>8</option><option>10</option><option>20</option>
</select>
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Star mini S5" />
<input type="hidden" name="item_code" value="001" />
<input type="hidden" name="item_price" value="100" />
<input type="submit" value="Buy $100" />
</form>
</div>Order Processes
Next we look into order processes page. Here you might get bit confused, but the steps are fairly simple, let me make bit easier for you by pointing out the steps below.- Step 1: Get product POST Values from products page.
- Step 2: Create a payment by constructing a payment object.
- Step 3: Get approval url from the response, and redirect the user to PayPal for approval page.
- Step 4: After Payment confirmation by user, execute payment on behalf of user using Payment ID andPayer ID.
- Step 5: Redirect user to return URL and display success message set earlier in PHP session.
