Any Paypal or credit card library?

[somed3v3loper]

Hello

I am sorry if the question has been answered before but after searching forum , I could only find 1 library that requires a registration on zooz website.( I do not prefer this method)

I need to have some payment solution be it a library , class or any other way I can use to implement this feature.

Any payment library will require you to register with their service.

Thank you for the reply.

I have wondered about this also.

PayPal has a web-based (or network based) API. They have "Buy Now", "Donate", and other buttons. I suppose theoretically it should be possible to use B4A with this API to accept payments via PayPal. The PayPal API responds with "completed" or "not completed" status. I wonder how much work this interface would require?

You mean we can somehow do it with network or http library?

I hope we can get it to work with B4A

Actually it is better to get directly to Paypal instead of having to register to extra service.

Yes, I use PayPal Donate and Buy Now buttons on my website. There is very little interaction needed on my side. I can't see why this would not work coming from B4A. The only gotcha is that PayPal responds to a web address which may be unreachable on an Android device, but there must be some way to work within this scheme. PayPal also has a much more elaborate API that may also work.

I don't think it will require anything more than having a PayPal account to receive payments.

I have heard rumors that PayPal is working on or has made a mobile payment solution.

According to developer.paypal.com, they're working on an Android SDK. They list some code under a REST API.

PayPal did, however, acquire card.io, which allows you to take card payments via the mobile camera. I don't think it will be much longer before they have a working SDK or some sort of card.io-PayPal link.

I saw at developer.PayPal.com that they have a new IOS Mobile Payments Library. They said the Android version of the MPL is "coming soon".

When this library does appear it will probably need a "wrapper" to work with B4A.

Hi,
I need a solution very quickly - in April. I do not want to develop a solution if another one already has completed the task and I can share the development costs with him/her. I would be glad to receive any offer, as private message or mail.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong…

I believe the problem centers around the fact that an Android device is not generally reachable from the Internet and the current PayPal solutions are generally targeted toward websites.

Clicking a PayPal "Buy Now" button on a website takes you to a PayPal page leading you through the transaction. Once the transaction is complete PayPal returns to a success or fail page on your website that was passed as a parameter in the "Buy Now" button click.

For this scenario to work on a device, the device would need to be reachable from the Internet and it would need to be running a Web server. Neither of which is available.

A solution like the following would work but requires an external website: Open a webpage on the external website within the app in a WebView, complete the transaction via the external webpage, in the success or fail page store the results of the transaction in a Web server based database. When the user restarts the app, query the external database and import the results to the app.

Hopefully the PayPal Android Mobile Payments Library will provide a solution that does not require an external website.

Newbie here. Read the paypal threads and since there are no solution yet for in-app Paypal payment. Can I just use B4A to redirect payment to my website paypal.

Similar like this possible ?

Thanks.

This code seems to be based on PayPal library. Wrapping PayPal library should be quite simple. In the past (before B4A v2) it was not possible due to a missing feature in the libraries handling. Please start a new thread for this in the Wishlist forum.

PayPal and/or Credit Card

One thing about PayPal that is convenient is that, at least interacting with a Web site, a buyer can choose to pay via their PayPal account if they have one OR via credit card without the need for them to actually have a PayPal account. If you have a PayPal account, this makes accepting PayPal AND credit cards very easy.
