Backend2BackendIntegration

The payment method PayPalExpressCheckout Deposit can be used for a variety of merchants in various businesses. Throughout the following description information for retail, digital and gambling merchants is provided.

📘

Payment method flow

The PayPal Express Checkout integration consists of 3 webservice calls against the PXP Financial payment service which relate to calls against the PayPal environment.

  • As step 1 the merchant initiates the payment with the web service call initiatePayment. PXP Financial will register the payment with PayPal and return a URL to redirect the customer to.

  • In step 2 the user is returned to the merchant. The merchant will take the query string from the user redirection and call handleProviderNotificationToMerchant. PXP Financial will fetch various user data from PayPal and deliver this data to the merchant. The merchant will execute various business logic depending on the product category.

  • Finally in step 3, the merchant will call executePaymentAction to complete the payment: the merchant will either abort or complete the payment. PayPal will provide final data about the payment to PXP Financial, and the data will be passed to the merchant.

👍

Automatic execution

It is possible to omit step 2 and/or step3 when configured by PXP Financial.

In the PXP Financial Checkout integration, the user is returned to the checkout and then the redirected further to the merchant´s page. The merchant then has the possible to perform step 3 with executePaymentAction, or this step can be removed by configuration.

Possible payment states in initiatePaymentResponse:

Payment StatesDescription
RedirectURLCreated (30)Ok state; Redirect user to this URL
BlockedByPaymentScoring (202)Error state; Refused by the PXP Financial Risk System

Following the initiatePayment request, the user should be redirected to the PayPal landing page. The user will have to login, select a funding source and confirm the payment. Subsequently the user is redirected to the merchantNotificationUrl being used as Success or Cancel URL.

Step 2 - handleProviderNotificationToMerchant

In step 2 the merchant needs to retrieve the contentor query string from the merchant NotificationUrl and pass this information back to PXP Financial.

Example handleProviderNotificationToMerchantRequest for a PayPal ExpressCheckout Deposit payment (with GET notification):

<handleProviderNotificationToMerchantRequest xmlns="http://www.cqrpayments.com/PaymentProcessing">
	<merchantID>KalixaAcceptDemo</merchantID>
	<providerID>56</providerID>
	<content>result=FE56E94D1B3700E759C370133C93527EC3EE40866D2CCF44BF45F22D5A04599583CB6FAFE60ADA5B691FB307B840B267D67ABCD0BF63F469E022C057A7B3CBAA625BB31457F74C9266A27AFD7B37C8DDB922A4F6C4A2229C207581B5966419F699129ED19454C1930D1EBECCE385A3ACD8BFC6C13DB7D4460EC01B3F04B58609498E4647EDB15B4DC4B28C80F1F59C92&amp;protocol=express_checkout</content>
</handleProviderNotificationToMerchantRequest>

Example handleProviderNotificationToMerchantRequest for a PayPal ExpressCheckout Deposit payment (with POST notification):

<handleProviderNotificationToMerchantRequest xmlns="http://www.cqrpayments.com/PaymentProcessing"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
        <merchantID>KalixaAcceptDemo</merchantID>
        <providerID>56</providerID>
        <queryString>result=FE56E94D1B3700E759C370133C93527EC3EE40866D2CCF44BF45F22D5A04599583CB6FAFE60ADA5B691FB307B840B267D67ABCD0BF63F469E022C057A7B3CBAA625BB31457F74C9266A27AFD7B37C8DDB922A4F6C4A2229CF0ED8E79624D08745D6FE3B83F0212EC2C5D04ECA2874B516398FE13C140730764413350FBBBED3AF085C2CAF8FDF5DDC98CDC05398F727A&amp;token=EC-5EM48754UF661381W&amp;PayerID=V7CLP466ZSHJE</queryString>
        <content></content>
</handleProviderNotificationToMerchantRequest>

Possible payment states in handleProviderNotificationToMerchantResponse:

Payment StatesDescription
UpdatePaymentDetailsResponseReceivedFromProvider (145)Payer details were received from provider. Merchant needs to validate those data and decides to execute or abort the payment.

Two possible actions: ExecutePayment (ID = 95030) or AbortPayment (ID = 50050)
AbortedByProvider (352)Cancelled by user on provider site
UpdatePaymentDetailsErrorReportedByProvider (355)Error state; Technical error during update of user details
UpdatePaymentDetailsCommunicationErrorOccurred (354)Error state; Communication error during update of user details

Step 3 - executePaymentAction

Payer details were received from PayPal in previous step. Merchant needs to validate those data and decides to execute or abort the payment.

📘

Possible actions

  • ExecutePayment (ID = 95030) or
  • AbortPayment (ID = 50050)

Merchants with digital goods/gambling or those which do not pass shipping data to PayPal for PayPal seller protection do not need to pass any shipping data in this request.

Possible payment states in 'executePaymentActionResponse':

Payment StatesDescription
DepositedByProvider (29)Success state; Redirect user to SuccessPage and deliver goods
RefusedByProvider (100)Error state; Denied or expired by provider
PendingOnProvider (120)Pending state; Payment is pending on provider; Final status may be pushed later via async. notification within maximum 10 days.

If the actionResults collection contain result with key PayPalRedirectURL then merchant must redirect user to this url address.
DepositRequestSentToProviderCommunicationErrorOccured (353)Error state when PaymentAction=Sale; Communication error during payment finalization
DepositErrorReportedByProvider (152)Error state when PaymentAction=Sale; Technical error during payment finalization
PendingOnCustomerPending state; Payment is pending on customer; Final status may be pushed later via asynchronous notification within maximum 10 days.

In the case actionResults collection will contain a result with key PayPalRedirectURL, then merchant has to redirect user to this URL address.
This is used for funding failure error code 10422 and 10486. This error is returned when a buyer’s payment fails due to a bad funding source, typically an invalid or maxed out credit card. The user has to be redirected to PayPal to select an alternate payment source or add a new funding instrument.

For testing these errors, negative testing needs to be enabled on the sandbox account (on developer.paypal.com). it is necessary to do a payment with the error codes as the amount: e.g. for error 10486, please sent either a initiatePayment request or a getRedirectData request with an amount of 10486.00 (any currency, e.g. EUR, as configured).
For the error 10486, alternatively login to https://www.sandbox.paypal.com using the buyer’s test PayPal account. Replace the contents of the street address Line-1 of the buyer’s test credit card with CCREJECT-REFUSED. Do a regular payment.

Billing Agreement

A PayPal Billing Agreement allows the merchant to offer Reference transactions.

Reference transactions are preapproved transactions. After a billing agreement is established, the merchant can initiate a payment, which withdraws funds from the buyer´s PayPal account without manual intervention.

Reference transactions require approval from PayPal to be made available for the merchant both in the PayPal sandbox and in the PayPal live system..

📘

Billing Agreement and reference transactions

The Billing Agreement functionality consists of 2 basic interaction types:

  • the setup payment for the Billing Agreement that features the same steps 1, 2, 3 (initiatePayment, handleProviderNotificationToMerchantand executePaymentAction) like any regular PayPal ExpressCheckout Deposit.

    In the initiatePayment request the parameter SetupBillingAgreement is added within the specificPaymentData section. Also the creationtypeID is set to 4 (EcomRecurring).

    Optionally the field BillingAgreementDescription can be used to pass a description for the newly created billing agreement.

  • capturing reference transactions: Payments are initiated without passing a payment account except for PayPal reference transactions. When a user is registered with a PayPal payment account including a BillingAgreementID, initiating the payment with the payment account will result in a reference transaction without user redirection to the PayPal web site.

Reference transaction

A reference transaction is created after a billing agreement has been established between the merchant & PayPal based on a setup payment. A reference transaction withdraws funds from the buyer´s PayPal account without manual intervention.

The following table contains the fields to be sent in the specificPaymentData xml section of the initiatePaymentRequest for a reference transaction:

key (value type, account type, required)value
MerchantNotificationURL (String)Url to the listener that will handle a notification from provider.

Due to the existing logic either the MerchantNotificationUrl or Success/Error page URL are mandatory even though they are not used for reference transactions.

When parameter is not provided the merchant listener from configuration will be used

In addition the following data has to be passed:

key (value type, account type, required)value
PaymentAccountID (string, required)The field is used to pass a user`s payment account and associated BillingAgreementID for reference transactions.
CreationType (string, required)To be set to value 4 (EcomRecurring)

📘

Billing Agreement data update

For regular PayPal Express Checkout, the address and specifically (for gambling) the Billing Address information is retrieved through the handleProviderNotificationToMerchantcall after the redirect of the customer to the merchant.

During a reference transaction, PXP Financial payment service calls PayPal with BAUpdate to retrieve the Billing Address information and passed this data in the initiatePayment response.

Example initiatePaymentRequest:

<initiatePaymentRequest xmlns="http://www.cqrpayments.com/PaymentProcessing"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
        <merchantID>KalixaAcceptDemo</merchantID>
        <shopID>KalixaAcceptDemo</shopID>
        <merchantTransactionID>13475455271047185_151</merchantTransactionID>
        <paymentMethodID>136</paymentMethodID>
        <amount currencyCode="EUR">10</amount>
        <userID>492816845</userID>
        <userIP>10.8.162.151</userIP>
        <userSessionID>56540913092012r0GbXrTtvQt</userSessionID>

    <paymentAccountID>635db84e-8366-4b51-bfde-c71910e50266</paymentAccountID>

PayPal Express Checkout for Retail

Merchants offering PayPal Express Checkout for retail ecommerce may have then need to pass shipping data to PayPal to be able to use seller protection. For seller protection the time span between capturing and the actual shipment should not be longer than 7 days. Merchants having longer delivery periods should use Order/Auth/Capture see below. This may also apply to services, e.g. buying a holiday that will be in several months.

📘

Shipping

When the merchant chooses to use shipping for the product, the parameter NoShipping is set to zero (0).

Shipping costs should be specified in the `initiatePayment' call.

The field AddressOverride should be used if shipping data is sent by the merchant in the initiatePayment call.

Shipping addressIntegration
Shipping address known to merchantIf the merchant knows the shipping address and wants to make sure that the buyer won´t change it, he should include a shipping address within the initiatePayment request or getRedirectData' request and set AddressOverride to 1. The fields sent by the merchant are returned in the notification sent to the merchant after the user has confirmed the payment on the PayPal website, or with the webservice response handleProviderNotificationToMerchant. **Alternatively **it is possible to redirect the user to the PXP Financial user listener so that the merchant does not have to perform the webservice request handleProviderNotificationToMerchantandexecutePaymentAction` himself. This may only be done if the shipping data is sent and AddressOverride is active (set to 1).
Shipping address unknown to merchantThe merchant may alternatively initiate the payment without any shipping data within the initiatePayment or getRedirectData request. When the shipping data are returned (from PayPal) in the handleProviderNotificationToMerchant response or the notification the merchant needs to process these and resend them or other data within the executePaymentAction request.
The data returned is the address that the user has specified at PayPal.

For the actual list of shipping details see below and also Add Shipping Details to Deposits.

The following shipping data can be passed to the PXP Financial payment service within the initiatePayment request or `getRedirectData' request as additional details:

key (value type, account type, required)value
shippingName (String, required if ShippingAddress is sent)The name of the shipping’s receiver. This field has a limitation of 32 characters (for PayPal Express Checkout).
shippingStreet (String, required if Shipping Address is sent)The street address. This field has a limitation of 200 characters (for PayPal Express Checkout).
shippingHouseName (String), shippingHouseNumber (String), shippingHouseNumberExtension (String)The fields shippingHouseName, shippingHouseNumber and shippingHouseNumberExtension are not considered for PayPal. All that information should be passed inside the shippingStreet field.
shippingCity (String, required if Shipping Address is sent)The city. This field has a limitation of 40 characters (for PayPal).
shippingState (String)The state or province. This field has a limitation of 40 characters (for PayPal) and is only required for U.S. addresses.

PaymentAction Order/Authorization

This section is intended only for retail merchants shipping products with a longer delivery period than 7 days.

If a merchant can ship products immediately, the default PaymentAction SALE should be used.

If one or several items from the order cannot be shipped immediately, then the merchant should use AUTHORIZATION. If products are not available for a period longer then 29 days, the PaymentAction ORDER should be selected.

📘

PaymentAction

  • If a merchant can ship products immediately, the default PaymentAction SALE should be used.

  • If one or several items from the order cannot be shipped immediately, then the merchant should use AUTHORIZATION.

  • If products are not available for a period longer then 29 days, the PaymentAction ORDER should be selected.

PaymentAction values are used in the following way:

PaymentActionDelivery type
SALE (default value)Should be used for immediate delivery.
AUTHORIZATIONShould be used for delivery of up to 29 days.

When this payment action is chosen by the merchant, PayPal will place a hold of 72 hourse on the funds after authorization. The merchant has up to 29 days to capture the payment by sending an executePaymentAction request with actionID ‘InitiateCapturing’ (see step 3.2 further below). The first 3 days or 72 hours are a honor period during which PayPal guarantees that the funds are available.

Currently PXP Financial does not support any change of the amount respectively reauthorizing the transaction for a different amount. We also do not support cancelling the transaction once authorized.

Furthermore PXP Financial does not support multiple captures and multiple authorizations.
ORDERShould be used for delivery times of more than 29 days.

This option is used if the merchant does not have the items in stock or readily available. As in the authorization, an order is valid for 29 days, but PayPal does not place a hold on the funds. Instead the merchant can place a hold on the funds via an authorization at a later time.
Placing an authorization would block funds on the customer´s credit card, which would not be suitable if the merchant is not able to ship products for a longer period.
Thus the merchant has to do an authorization – once the goods are available for shipping – as description in step 3.1 below and then an capture as described in step 3.2.

Currently PXP Financial does not support any change of the amount respectively reauthorization for a different amount. Also not supported are partial or multiple authorizations resp. partial or multiple captures and cancelling (voiding) a remaining transaction amount (if any).

The (permitted) number of authorizations, number of maximum days in an order and number of captures are setup by the PayPal risk team.

Notifications

The standard notification mechanism is used for notifying the merchant in the background (asynchronously) about payment state changes. For more information see PaymentStateChangedNotification.
