Integrate PayPal
Hi,
i am about to integrate the paypal smart buttons to my site. I want to do it with my server doing the place order call and also the handling of the response when it is done, not the client.
I must say that working with implementing paypal is hell compared to integrating stripe... Ok, so my question. I am trying to install the paypal SDK to be able to let my server handle the purchase. https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/reference/server-integration/setup-sdk/
... I have changed in the file samples/PayPalClient.php so that I have my sandbox credentials.. BUT when installing with composer the SDK stuff ends up in the gitignored vendor folder. And now I am manually changing stuff in it. This can't be right. So how do I install the paypal SDK?

@Brainmaniac You don't change anything in the vendor folder. You can say it is illegal.
If you want to change something keep it in .env file.
Check out this article.

@furqanDev tnx
Interesting package that is linked in the article. It does seem kind of extensive for what I am trying to do

@Brainmaniac Because at some point you need to write code instead of expecting a package or tutorial giving you something to copy and paste.

@martinbean woaw, easy now. I don't mind writing code. It is just that I find the documentation from paypal underwhelming. Compared to stripe's the paypal documentation is a nightmare.

@brainmaniac Yes. You should be treating the samples as samples, and using the code as an example for your own code.

@martinbean 👍 sure makes sense. I just think one could wish for more of the paypal documentation..
