Methods

createPayment(options, callbackopt) → {Promise|void}

Creates a PayPal payment ID or billing token using the given options. This is meant to be passed to PayPal's checkout.js library. When a callback is defined, the function returns undefined and invokes the callback with the id to be used with the checkout.js library. Otherwise, it returns a Promise that resolves with the id.

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
options object

All options for the PayPalCheckout component.

Properties
Name Type Attributes Default Description
flow string

Set to 'checkout' for one-time payment flow, or 'vault' for Vault flow. If 'vault' is used with a client token generated with a customer ID, the PayPal account will be added to that customer as a saved payment method.
intent string <optional>
 authorize

Checkout flows only.

  • authorize - Submits the transaction for authorization but not settlement.
  • order - Validates the transaction without an authorization (i.e. without holding funds). Useful for authorizing and capturing funds up to 90 days after the order has been placed.

locale string <optional>
 en_US

Use this option to change the language, links, and terminology used in the PayPal flow. This locale will be used unless the buyer has set a preferred locale for their account. If an unsupported locale is supplied, a fallback locale (determined by buyer preference or browser data) will be used and no error will be thrown.

Supported locales are: da_DK, de_DE, en_AU, en_GB, en_US, es_ES, fr_CA, fr_FR, id_ID, it_IT, ja_JP, ko_KR, nl_NL, no_NO, pl_PL, pt_BR, pt_PT, ru_RU, sv_SE, th_TH, zh_CN, zh_HK, and zh_TW.
