PayPal Plugin for PhoneGap iPhone
First release of the PayPal Plugin for PhoneGap iPhone. Right now it handles static payments only (no dynamic changes to include shipping etc). Thanks to Chris Booth of Signature Digital in the UK for sponsoring development and also allowing it to be released to the PhoneGap community.
Nothing much to look at in the first screenshot, but with CSS styling and using PayPal’s official web button images it can look better. View the README and check out the sample app’s index.html for usage. Triggering the “Pay” button will launch the native workflow in the second screenshot.

When I build paypal plugin on phonegap to run on device, I get 4 errors and 4 warning.
The first error,
can’t find protocal declaration for PayPalMEPDelegate
@interface SAiOSPaypalPlugin : PhoneGapCommand
Expect ( and ) failure at
– (void) paymentFailed:(PAYPAL_FAILURE)errorType
can you tell me how to fix this isssue?

Now I got the code running but when I login to pay pay and make payment through sandbox, I got this error.
I am using paypal phonegap pluging. When I make payment through paypal sandbox, I get error. “Payment is not complete. Add valid payment method for this amount on your computer”.
What is the valid paypal payment method?
Where do I add this valid payment method in the code of paypal phonegap plugin.

What does your .prepare(…) code look like? Take a look at the SAiOSPaypalPlugin.js file for the doc.

My prepare code is similar to your example. Accept, I changed the env to sandbox. I run your sample code that come wtih the doc. I got the same error. I forward to PayPal and they don’t know what is wrong with it.
Did you ever get it run with the paypal sandbox?

For sandbox to work you need to have sandbox test accounts, and change the code in my sample for the test accounts. Make sure you read everything here: https://www.x.com/docs/DOC-1379

Yes, I do have sandbox test account. I did read your document. I try out your sample app by changing app_id from paypal. I also use my test account that I created from the sandbox.
That is the reason I found out that your sample does not work. It does not the send the transaction to sandbox.

if you send me your sandbox test account credentials privately, I can debug this when I have some free time later today (hopefully), send to shazron at nitobi.com

Hey, that’s great. I was desperately looking for a phonegap paypal plugin. Are there any plans to develope a phonegap paypal plugin for other platforms than iOS? (e.g.: Android and Blackberry)

It is interesting. Is there any detail implementation docs?
I have tried integration but seems that it is only dummy account. How can I change it into live? In the SAiOSPaypalPlugin.m, by default, it is set to ENV_NONE. I can’t try it with ENV_SANDBOX or ENV_LIVE.
Any hints?

HI, does this allow CC payments through paypal? might be what im looking for if it does. If not, how much work you think it would be to use this as a base?

There should be an updated plugin in the phonegap-plugins repo, under the iOS (not iPhone) folder.

Use the brackets based import.
#import
Are you using the updated plugin in phonegap-plugins/iOS? (not iPhone)

I think I have the same issue (I am using Cordova 2.1). Searching I see problem was described here
https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/issues/514
I tried to upgrade the MPL library and had to tweak the SAiOSPaypalPlugin files to match the new APIs, however when i start up in the simulator I am getting a whitelist error
ERROR whitelist rejection: url=’https:/mobileclient.sandbox.paypal.com/GMAdapter/DeviceInterrogation’
I do have the entries in Cordova.plist externalHost already.
Any help would be appreciate.
Thanks

Thank you for creating this plugin for PayPal. I am currently using cordova 2.1 and running into some issues. The plugin builds just fine for me. I am able to launch the simulator and see the Pay button like you have on the screen shot above. However when I click on Pay button nothing happens. The underlying SAiOSPaypalPlugin.install never seems to get invoked.
Not sure what I am missing in my setup. I would really appreciate any help on this matter. I am willing to email you my test sandbox. I made sure to update my cordova.plist by adding SAiOSPaypalPlugin to the list of plugins.
I also made sure I whitelisted all external host urls.
any help from this experienced community would be appreciated.

Does it work only in US region? When I try to test it in other regions I can’t login into sandbox account.

No idea – the plugin has been moved to another maintainer actually.
