PayPal NVP

[mtheory]

I'm looking for a Flash sample interfacing with PayPaal Pro NVP API.

PayPal's developer center says it is possible but fail to show how.

Can anyone help?

There are very few folks out there who have made paypal work with flash. My storefront is a solution that does. It uses the SOAP method, not NVP, but those are really just details...

Either way, it uses PayPal Pro U.S. and believe me, was a difficult process.

Josh,

Your soultion for PayPal Pro is impressive. I'v seen it mentioned in other forums.

After sifting through countless forums and PayPal tech docs. I was able to run the NVP with Flash using the PayPal SDK.

Now it's on to the Fedex API for somemore fun.

Thanks for your response.

I agree, paypal is way overrated for what they do... the REALLY need a simpler solution. Authorize.net and others use 1 PHP file for their transactions... PayPal has all this complex logic. I understand it's good practice, but somewhere the extensability of it all is just to much for most people.

In my opinion, if they wrote a very simple API system that lots of developers could easily catch onto, they woudl increase their shopping cart integration and overall marketshare compared to what they have...

I think in the end, the SOAP or NVP are really close, you just package up the variables and send with the URL rather than mine using a call... it's just so much stuff to sift through..
