This example application shows how you can integrate a complex API such as PayPal Adaptive Payments with Visual Studio LightSwitch.

I recently had a challenge where I needed to create a marketplace where people can sell items. I did not want to collect the money and pass it from buyer to seller because I would get stuck with losses if the buyer reversed the charges (for example because their account was used without their permission) and I had already passed the money to the seller. The solution was to submit two charges, one directly from the buyer to the seller, and one as a fee that would go to me for hosting the marketplace. In addition, I did not want to release the item being sold (in this case a picture download) until the funds had cleared. For example, if a person pays with a check it can take days for the check to clear.

The Sample Application

You can test out the sample application at:

https://paypalstore.lightswitchhelpwebsite.com/HTMLClient/

(use your user name and password of your LightSwitchHelpWebsite.com account)

Note: All transactions are real and your PayPal account will be debited $2.00  (thank you for the support!). However, please  do not complete a transaction and then reverse the charges, that will cause me quite a hassle.

image

A user can browse the available pictures and purchase a copy by clicking the Buy a Copy button.

 

image

They are taken to a page where they can click the Buy Now button.

 

image

They are taken to the PayPal site where they can pay.

 

image

They can use a credit card (if the merchant account has that option), check, or their PayPal account.

 

image

After making payment they see a confirmation.

 

image

They are taken back to the application, to the My Purchases page.

 

image

Clicking on a purchase record will take them to a page where they can download the picture, if the payment has cleared.

If the payment has not cleared, it will say so and display any error messages. Once payment has cleared this page will allow them to download the picture.

 

image

Any user can upload their own pictures, indicate that they are a Merchant, and enter their PayPal account.

 

image

An administrator can see and diagnose all transactions. The administrator is defined when the application is published using the Visual Studio LightSwitch publishing wizard.

The administrator PayPal account is also configured in the web.config file (this is covered in the next section).

 

The PayPal API

Important Note: I must say up front that this code and example is very complicated. It is only provided to help programmers who can understand it. I posted the live example to prove that it works. however, it is very complicated because the PayPal API is complicated.

If you need help with any PayPal issues see: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/support

If you need help with any LightSwitch issues post to: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=lightswitch

Also note, the PayPal IPN notifications will only work if the application has been published using the using the Visual Studio LightSwitch publishing wizard and is at a location that can be reached by the PayPal servers.

image

The code in the sample LightSwitch application uses the PayPal Adaptive Payments Classic API: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/adaptive-payments/gs_AdaptivePayments/. You can get a complete overview of PayPal Adaptive Payments at this link: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/adaptive-payments/integration-guide/APIntro/.

image

Specifically it uses the Pay API call to make a parallel payment: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/api/adaptive-payments/Pay_API_Operation/.

It also uses the PayPal IPN Classic API to determine when a payment has been completed: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/products/instant-payment-notification/.

 

Running The Sample Application

image

First you need a PayPal developer account: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/api/gs_PayPalAPIs/#account.

image

This page shows you how to get your API credentials: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/api/apiCredentials/.

You will need to put your values in the web.config of the sample LightSwitch application in the spots marked with a ***.

image

You will also need to go to: https://apps.paypal.com to create a PayPal Classic Application (this is because at the time of this writing the Adaptive Payments API is not available using the newer REST Services API).

image

Create a new application. This will create a Sandbox ID that you will need to also put in the web.config of the sample app.

image

When you create your application, use the settings in the image above.

image

You will need to create PayPal Sandbox test accounts: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/lifecycle/ug_sandbox/#accounts

The merchant test account will need to be entered in the web.config of the LightSwitch application.

The sample transactions will need three accounts and no two can be the same so you will need to create two additional test accounts (besides the test merchant account that will be created for you) to use to test the application.

 

image

Open the sample LightSwitch application (available on the downloads page), switch to file view, and open the Web.config, and enter the values in the spaces marked ***.

The application should now work.

If it doesn’t work for you:

Also note: the PayPal IPN notifications will only work if the application has been published using the using the Visual Studio LightSwitch publishing wizard and is at a location that can be reached by the PayPal servers.

When the sample application was created, I used the PayPal Nuget package to install the needed binaries: https://www.nuget.org/packages/PayPalCoreSDK.

 

Exploring The Sample Application

image

The application starts with the code from the article:

LightSwitch HTML Picture Manager Using WCF RIA Services.

image 

The PayPal version adds additional tables and screens.

Note that important code is implemented to properly secure the PayPal tables:

 

       // PayPalPurchaseTransactions
        #region PayPalPurchaseTransactions
        partial void PayPalPurchaseTransactions_Filter(ref Expression<Func<PayPalPurchaseTransaction, bool>> filter)
        {
            // Only an Admin can see the entire table
            if (!(this.Application.User.HasPermission(Permissions.SecurityAdministration)))
            {
                // Users can see any Transction where they are the buyer or the seller
                filter = e => e.PurchaserUserName == this.Application.User.Identity.Name 
                    || e.SellerUserName == this.Application.User.Identity.Name;
            }
        }
        partial void PayPalPurchaseTransactions_Inserting(PayPalPurchaseTransaction entity)
        {
            // Set time and IP Address
            var context = System.Web.HttpContext.Current;
            entity.PurchaseTime = DateTime.Now;
            entity.PurchaseIPAddress = context.Request.UserHostAddress;
            // Payment Status is always set to Pending
            entity.payment_status = "Pending";
        }
        partial void PayPalPurchaseTransactions_Updating(PayPalPurchaseTransaction entity)
        {
            // An update can only be made by the orginal user
            if (!(entity.PurchaserUserName == this.Application.User.Identity.Name 
                || entity.SellerUserName == this.Application.User.Identity.Name
                || this.Application.User.HasPermission(Permissions.SecurityAdministration)))
            {
                throw new Exception(string.Format("Only buyer, seller or administrator can update!"));
            }
            // Payment Status is always set to Pending
            // IPN handler updated this value directly outside of oData
            entity.payment_status = "Pending";
        }
        partial void PayPalPurchaseTransactions_CanDelete(ref bool result)
        {
            // Only an Admin can access the table (.ashx file has an override)
            result = this.Application.User.HasPermission(Permissions.SecurityAdministration);
        }
        #endregion
        // PayPalIpnTransactions
        #region PayPalIpnTransactions
        partial void PayPalIpnTransactions_CanDelete(ref bool result)
        {
            // Only an Admin can access the table (.ashx file has an override)
            result = this.Application.User.HasPermission(Permissions.SecurityAdministration);
        }
        partial void PayPalIpnTransactions_CanInsert(ref bool result)
        {
            // Only an Admin can access the table (.ashx file has an override)
            result = this.Application.User.HasPermission(Permissions.SecurityAdministration);
        }
        partial void PayPalIpnTransactions_CanUpdate(ref bool result)
        {

            result = this.Application.User.HasPermission(Permissions.SecurityAdministration);

        partial void PayPalIpnTransactions_CanRead(ref bool result)
        {
            // Only an Admin can access the table (.ashx file has an override)
            result = this.Application.User.HasPermission(Permissions.SecurityAdministration);
        } 
        #endregion
        // PayPalTransactions
        #region PayPalTransactions
        partial void PayPalTransactions_CanDelete(ref bool result)
        {
            // Only an Admin can access the table (.ashx file has an override)
            result = this.Application.User.HasPermission(Permissions.SecurityAdministration);
        }
        partial void PayPalTransactions_CanInsert(ref bool result)
        {
            // Only an Admin can access the table (.ashx file has an override)
            result = this.Application.User.HasPermission(Permissions.SecurityAdministration);

            result = this.Application.User.HasPermission(Permissions.SecurityAdministration);
        } 
        #endregion

 

The Screen

image

The Main screen is the screen customers use to search for and purchase copies of pictures.

The following code shows the Buy a Copy button if the person who uploaded the picture is a Merchant:

 

myapp.Main.isMerchant_render = function (element, contentItem) {
    // Show button if isMerchant
    if (contentItem.value == true) {
        // Get the UserPicture
        var objUserPicture = contentItem.parent;
        element.innerHTML =
            "<button type='button'>Buy a Copy</button>";
    };
};

 

When the Buy a Picture button is clicked the following code runs that calls the Adaptive Payments handler that contacts PayPal to generate a PayKey:

 

myapp.Main.UserPictures_ItemTap_execute = function (screen) {
    // Get the selected Picture
    var objUserPicture = screen.UserPictures.selectedItem;
    // Get selected selectedPictureId
    selectedPictureId = screen.UserPictures.selectedItem.Id;
    // Show the UserPicture
    myapp.showPurchaseItem(objUserPicture, {
        beforeShown: function (PurchaseItemScreen) {
            msls.promiseOperation(CallAdaptivePaymentsHandler)
                .then(function PromiseSuccess(AdaptivePaymentsHandlerResult) {
                    // Parse the JSON returned
                    var objPayPalResponse = jQuery.parseJSON(AdaptivePaymentsHandlerResult);
                    // Set the PayPal response
                    PurchaseItemScreen.PayPalRedirectUrl = objPayPalResponse.PayPalRedirectUrl
                        + "_ap-payment&paykey="
                        + objPayPalResponse.PayPalPaykey;
                    PurchaseItemScreen.PayPalPaykey = objPayPalResponse.PayPalPaykey;
                    PurchaseItemScreen.PayPalPaymentExecStatus = objPayPalResponse.PayPalPaymentExecStatus;
                    PurchaseItemScreen.PayPalError = objPayPalResponse.PayPalError;
                    PurchaseItemScreen.PayPalErrorMessage = objPayPalResponse.PayPalErrorMessage;
                });
        }
    });
};

When the user clicks the Buy Now button they are taken to PayPal with the PayKey that has all the details of the transaction.

When the payment has been processed the following code listens for the IPN notification (that was set in the Adaptive Payments handler):

Linq to Sql is used because the call from PayPal is unauthenticated and the LightSwitch application is running under forms authentication. Entity Framework or ADO .Net could have also been used.

Dear Michael,

Hi this is Cliff again, the one discussed the ASP.NET self-register issues last time. This time I would like to ask you a question.

With regard to API credentials, I have found that I was successful in using adaptive payment within the sandbox account, and as per mentioned in your article the redirect url for the button returning from PayPal is "https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/webscr?cmd=_ap-payment&paykey=". However, how can I get into the live one? I have searched the PayPal website but could not find the redirect url from live. When I remove the "sandbox" word from the above url I was redirected to other one's payment.

If possible would you please post up your live code (without the web.config) for download, I feel really frustrated about the lack of such an important piece of information from PayPal.

Cliff

@Cliff Lo - The setting I am using in the web.config is: key="PAYPAL_REDIRECT_URL" value="https://www.paypal.com/webscr&cmd="
