Direct payment API provides the way to do the PayPal payment from your website. This payment action will happen in background at the time customer will stay in your site itself.

The simple screen shots that explain the work flow about direct payment,

Follow the below steps to integrate the PayPal into your site.

Step 1: Creating a PayPal Developer Account        

1. To create a PayPal account, click the Sign Up link at the top of the main PayPal page, and follow the resulting instructions.
2. Go to Developer website and log in using PayPal account.
3. This log in will create a default Business test account in the Sandbox.

Step 2: You can find your Business account under Applications -> Sandbox accounts. Click on the business account and go to profile option, where you will get the API credential of that account. Use this Credential in your application.

Step 3: You should enable the Payment Pro to this business account and have to accept the CE agreements to this account. These two process will be done by PayPal side. You can create ticket to do this action at https://ppmts.custhelp.com.

Step 4: To avoid 3rd step, you can create an another new US business account in developer site, and also create Personal account. You can find API credential for new business account. Use this new API into you site.

Step 5: Add code in your website.

Write the PayPal account settings in web configuration file.

    }
               
 if (response.Ack == AckCodeType.SUCCESS || response.Ack == AckCodeType.SUCCESSWITHWARNING)
    {
             //Do Business logic here to update database
    }

Redirect to Thank you page if response succeed, else redirect o failure page.

Step 6: Check the sample application here(http://paypal.github.io/#merchant)

Step 7: After transaction succeeded, you can login to you Sandbox account using your business account credential(get password by change it in account profile). Here you can find the Payment details. The each transaction that done in your website will be managed in sandbox account.

Step 8: The Fake Name Generator website would be a good place to get test card numbers you can use. Don’t use other commonly used card number. It will lead to error some times.
