FN-FORUM: PayPal Help!

date posted 13th May 2008 15:16

Hi guys,

I am trying to implement Paypal into my website for the first time, we have
gone for the website payment pro package, I would like to think that my
enquiry is a relatively easy one, but having spent hours on the phone and
dealt with paypal via e-mail to no avail it obviously is not.

I need to know where I get the Token value from for the express checkout?
Below is part of the e-mail I sent to Paypal, any help would be hugely
appreciated!


Within your support documentation Implementing Paypal Express Checkout
(https://www.paypal.com/IntegrationCenter/ic_uk-expresscheckout.html) there
are instructions referencing a Token value as shown below. Please can you
tell me where I get this value from? Is it a standard value, or is it
something unique to my account?

Example:

RESULT=0&RESPMSG=Approved&TOKEN=EC-17C76533PL706494P

Redirect Your Customer to PayPal
When you receive the token from Set Express Checkout
(ACTION=S), redirect your customer to PayPal so they can log in and select a
shipping address and funding source for their payment. Redirect your
customer to the following URL, where is the token from the Set
Express Checkout (ACTION=S) response:

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout
&token=

Your customer logs into PayPal and selects a shipping address and funding
source.
