Yes, there is now a way to do subscriptions within the new REST API. See the documentation.
OK, first you need to set the Client ID and secret you get from PayPal.
I have both a testing and live environment
All {xxx} are my private application variables
public function __construct()
{
$this->sandbox = {sandbox};
if($this->sandbox)
{
$this->host = 'https://api.sandbox.paypal.com';
$this->clientId = {clientIdSandbox};
$this->clientSecret = {clientSecretSandbox};
}
else
{
$this->host = 'https://api.paypal.com';
$this->clientId = {clientId};
$this->clientSecret = {clientSecret};
}
$this->get_access_token();
}
I then go and get the access token
private function get_access_token()
{
$curl = curl_init($this->host.'/v1/oauth2/token');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $this->clientId . ":" . $this->clientSecret);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'grant_type=client_credentials');
$response = curl_exec( $curl );
if (empty($response))
{
echo "NO RESPONSE for $url for function ".__FUNCTION__;
print_r(curl_getinfo($curl));
die(curl_error($curl));
curl_close($curl); // close cURL handler
}
else
{
$info = curl_getinfo($curl);
curl_close($curl); // close cURL handler
if($info['http_code'] != 200 && $info['http_code'] != 201 )
{
echo "Received error: " . $info['http_code']. "\n";
echo "Raw response:".$response."\n";
die();
}
}
$jsonResponse = json_decode( $response );
$this->token = $jsonResponse->access_token;
$this->expires = time()+$jsonResponse->expires_in;
}
This then stores the access data in the classes properties
You then need three more sections. Create the subscription template, then retrieve the agreement, then create the agreement for the client.
In this method I send over the data Name, Desc, Period, Interval and Price. However you can just fill in manually. This will create the subscription that you can now sell.
public function create_subscription($name, $desc, $period, $interval, $price)
{
$data = array(
'name' => $name,
'description' => $desc,
'type' => 'INFINITE',
'payment_definitions' => array(
0 => array (
'name' => 'Payment Definition-1',
'type' => 'REGULAR',
'frequency' => $period,
'frequency_interval' => $interval,
'amount' => array(
'value' => $price,
'currency' => 'EUR',
),
'cycles' => '0',
),
),
'merchant_preferences' => array(
'return_url'=>{return_url},
'cancel_url'=>{cancel_url},
'auto_bill_amount' => 'YES',
'initial_fail_amount_action' => 'CONTINUE',
'max_fail_attempts' => '0',
),
);
$data=json_encode($data);
$url = $this->host.'/v1/payments/billing-plans';
return $this->make_post_call($url, $data);
}
From the above method you will get in return an id, use that for the method below to collect the data of the subscription and store it
public function retrieve_agreement($id)
{
$url = $this->host.'/v1/payments/billing-agreements/'.$id;
return $this->make_get_call($url);
}
This method will allow you to allocate and agreement to a client.
You will need the id of the aggreement with some data for you to be able add to the description.
public function create_agreement($subId, $data, $product)
{
$paypalId = ($this->sandbox) ? $product->paypal_test_sub_id : $product->paypal_sub_id;
$startDate = date('c', strtotime('+10 MINUTE'));
$data = array (
'name'=>'Subscription for subscription::'.$subId,
'description'=>{company}.' Subscription - ' . $data . ' - '.$product->name.' - '.$product->price .'€',
'start_date'=>$startDate,
'plan'=>array(
'id'=>$paypalId,
),
'payer'=>array(
'payment_method'=>'paypal',
),
'override_merchant_preferences'=>array(
'return_url'=>{return_url}.$subId.'/',
'cancel_url'=>{cancel_url}.$subId.'/',
),
);
$data=json_encode($data);
$url = $this->host.'/v1/payments/billing-agreements';
$response = $this->make_post_call($url, $data);
header("location:".$response['links'][0]['href']);
//return $response;
}
The return_url is the url that the end user will be sent to to complete the aggreement. I than use that to pass to the method below
public function execute_agreement($token)
{
$data=json_encode('');
$url = $this->host.'/v1/payments/billing-agreements/'.$token.'/agreement-execute';
return $response = $this->make_post_call($url, $data);
}
You will then need to create a scheduled task to use the retrieve_agreement method and see if a subscription has been cancelled or not.
This is a brief explanation.
if you require more please let me know.
