I think the “end” 2 lines after “def complete” above is an error.

Mark,

You can use the code snippets in the post above to craft out a new rails sample app. And yes, it works with Express Checkout.

Which PayPal account type does this work with? Express Checkout, Website Payments Stanard, Website Payments Pro, etc?

I had to add the following lines to Anthony’s code for my purposes (after the ‘AutoBillOutstandingAmount’ line):
if !options[:initialamount].blank? xml.tag! 'n2:ActivationDetails' do xml.tag! 'n2:InitialAmount', amount(options[:initialamount]), 'currencyID' => options[:currency] || 'USD' end end

Hope that this code will be formatted correctly…

Just successfully created a subscription using direct payments by passing an instance of CreditCard in rather than a hash of details.

I think also you can’t just use any old numbers for the credit card, etc as they have to pass various validations.

If you take the credit card portion out of a standard ActiveMerchant payment tutorial you should be good.

Cheers,

Jon

[...] work with the latest ActiveMerchant. Raymond Law has kindly ported the code to use the SOAP API and you can find out more information and usage on his blog. [...]

I really wish someone would create a sample app, it’s just too complicated and i feel like i am guessing my way around..

Also, is there a way to disable showing the shipping address with recurring billing? I tried using the NoShipping xml item like for regular express payments, but it still seems to be showing it. Anyone had any luck disabling this for express recurring?

Is anyone else having problems with Invalid Token from the sandbox today? I’m using the current ravinly github fork, and the initial setup is working fine but when I return from paypal with a token and then try to use the token, it keeps saying Invalid Token.

I tried updating the API_VERSION to 54.0, but it still doesn’t work.

Any suggestions?
