I'm doing a small shop implementation, and I am going to use PayPal as the payment provider. The only drawback right now with the existing provider is, that paypal needs to be able to call back to my server (IPN etc.), in order to complete the payment.
So, I wanted to look at maybe using PayPal Express Checkout instead, which has a much nicer API to work with. Also, it does not reqiure certificates and all that jazz, since all communication happens server to server, with no form post being done in the clients browser. I could probably hack it, just by having some pages the I send the user to, but I think it would be nice to get it done as a real provider.
Has anyone already made a provider for the PayPal Express Checkout? Are any of the payment providers available with source, to see how it should be done? Specifically, I'm thinking about how I should store the payment on the order and so on, as well as checking the amounts, since an order can have multiple payments attached, right?
I've just started to have a play with the new paypal express provider in uCommerce 6.x and I was wondering if there's any way to configure that the delivery address entered into uCommerce also gets sent through to paypal? I can see my transaction go into the sandbox but the delivery address doesn't seem to get sent, which means seller protection isn't enabled. Trying to see if there's anything that does this out of the box before getting a 'real' (i.e not me) developer involved.
I don't think you can configure that out of the box. My guess would be that you need to create your own implementation of PayPalWebSitePaymentsStandardPageBuilder and then adding the shipping address to your paypal request.
Payment provider for PayPal Express Checkout

Did you ever do a PayPal express implementation?
Hi Morten,

Hi wolulcmit,

Take a look at this: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/express-checkout/integration-guide/ECCustomizing/ and find the section "Confirmed Address". It tells which parameters are need.
