This is just an announcement to all those that care to say that the initial PayPal integration drive is done. The result is a master-module that integrates the following PayPal services with Ubercart:

Website Payments Standard - customers are redirected to PayPal after reviewing their order to complete payment
Website Payments Pro - customers checkout through Ubercart and PayPal is used as a payment gateway for you to process credit cards from within your site
Express Checkout - customers are redirected to PayPal where they login to their PayPal accounts; they are then sent back to your Ubercart site to finish checkout, choosing a shipping method and providing a company name/phone number if needed before approving the total payment
Instant Payment Notifications - Ubercart will receive payment information from PayPal and log it to your orders
All of this can be previewed on the Livetest. To test all the services, you will need to have a Sandbox account at PayPal. There will be a link once you try to complete payment that lets you register.

If you want to give it a shot on your own site, download the attached module. It may not work with Alpha 6c due to changes made in other modules. You can download the latest code from the Bazaar repository. There will be an Alpha 6d release as soon as this is tested and certified by PayPal that includes the module and a host of other changes.

You should go to your PayPal account profile to get API credentials necessary for Website Payments Pro/Express Checkout. Also, you'll want to turn on Instant Payment Notifications, but leave the URL field empty as it is supplied by the module.

Using some of these services requires you to have a Premier or Business Account with PayPal, and fees may apply (particularly for credit card processing). Once you have installed the module, you can adjust the settings from the payment gateway configuration menus.

It's good in the install file in that package. It may be you need to re-enable it if you were simply replacing this with a previous version.

Thank you Ryan and others for the module...I am still not sure if this module can now be used for membership subscription?

Yeah, subscriptions are still on the module's to-do list, but mostly because there is no way to designate products as requiring recurring payment. That's going to take a special product module before I can make it work with any particular payment gateway. I thought someone may have been working on that, but we may have to knock it out eventually.

In other news, when I was trying to get this code certified, I found out that I had in fact done part of Express Checkout wrong... so I've got to rework that a little today. Will post back more in a bit.

Updated the zip... Apparently I had more work to do. I had to separate out the Express Checkout Mark Flow (where a customer bypasses the yellow Express Checkout button but then chooses PayPal as a payment method) from the Website Payments Standard which is just a redirected shopping cart completion. If you have a sandbox account, you should see the difference. PayPal is about to do integration testing.

I'm still tweaking this to add a few more error messages to help customers and to make the code a wee-bit smaller. Some code has been reused, so I'm going to break those places out into separate functions.

See http://www.ubercart.org/paypal for a little more information on using PayPal in Ubercart.

A shop I'm currently setting up uses Swiss Francs, so I added CHF as another currency code for transactions with Website Payments Standard in uc_payment_method_paypal_wps():

'#options' => drupal_map_assoc(array('AUD', 'CAD', 'CHF', 'EUR', 'GBP', 'JPY', 'USD'))

Maybe the list of currencies available in the payment settings could be associated with countries imported under country settings?

Not sure... the hard coded list was actually taken from the PayPal API documentation. I'm kind of curious to see if you can get it to work w/ passing CHF as your currency code.

Just a note to say that PayPal has completed the integration testing and given us their shiny little logo to display on the front page. Hopefully other integrated systems will be popping up there in the future.

You can bet I'll be posting a link to our page in the solutions directory as soon as it's up. Now maybe I can get some work on the site done.

As of this page PayPal currently allows managing balances in these currencies:

Canadian Dollars
Euros
Pounds Sterling
U.S. Dollars
Yen
Australian Dollars
New Zealand Dollars
Swiss Francs
Hong Kong Dollars
Singapore Dollars
Swedish Kronor
Danish Kroner
Polish Zloty
Norwegian Kroner
Hungarian Forint
Czech Koruna
In my sandbox account I can receive payments in CHF, no problem. Also, the currency code shows correctly on the payment pages.

This is bundled in the latest release, Alpha 7b. It takes advantage of some functions added along the way between releases, so you'll need to do a full upgrade (backup!, install Alpha 7b over the old version, and run update.php on your site).
