In my project I use the PayPal implementation (https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout?keywords=checkout) to make payments possible.
In the first instance I ask the client which payment method he prefers and on that basis I generate the appropriate payment button (paypal, credit card or bancontact). When I use the code below I get the following error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: paypal is not defined.
As you can see below, I add the correct script tag to my HTML code before I the PayPal code is triggered, so this shouldn't be a problem.
HTML Code (paypal-div)
<div id="paypal-button-container"></div>
JavaScript Code
let radios = document.querySelectorAll('.pm');
const script = document.createElement("script");
let src = '';
radios.forEach(radio => {
if (radio.checked) {
supper_data.payment_method = (radio.value).charAt(0).toUpperCase() + (radio.value).slice(1);
if((radio.value).charAt(0).toUpperCase() + (radio.value).slice(1) === "Bancontact") {
src = 'https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=ASuRqSAZYj9/*...*/-FEXCHWao5SA7-SADYX6werETXouaJDIBP1UeSAJpJbMbrtCOy59C7C-C¤cy=EUR&disable-funding=card,sofort,credit';
} else if (supper_data.payment_method === "Visa") {
src = 'https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=ASuRqSAZYj9/*...*/-FEXCHWao5SA7-SADYX6werETXouaJDIBP1UeSAJpJbMbrtCOy59C7C-C¤cy=EUR&disable-funding=bancontact,sofort,credit';
} else {
src = 'https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=ASuRqSAZYj9/*...*/-FEXCHWao5SA7-SADYX6werETXouaJDIBP1UeSAJpJbMbrtCOy59C7C-C¤cy=EUR&disable-funding=bancontact,sofort,card';
}
}
});
script.type = "text/javascript";
script.src = src;
document.head.append(script);
document.querySelector('#paypal-button-container').style.display = "block";
paypal.Buttons({
style: {
shape: 'pill',
color: 'blue'
},
createOrder: (data, actions) => {
return actions.order.create({
purchase_units: [{
amount: {
currency_code: "EUR",
value: price
}
}]
});
},
onApprove: (data, actions) => {
return actions.order.capture().then((details) => {
$.ajax({
url: "./includes/delete-cart.php",
method: "GET",
success: function (data) {
Swal.fire({
icon: 'success',
title: 'Betaling Afgerond',
text: 'Uw bestelling is ontvangen.'
}).then(() => {
window.location.reload();
})
console.log(details);
}
});
})
}
}).render('#paypal-button-container');
Loading a script that way is asynchronous and takes time, so you should use an onload
event callback.
//Helper function
function loadAsync(url, callback) {
var s = document.createElement('script');
s.setAttribute('src', url); s.onload = callback;
document.head.insertBefore(s, document.head.firstElementChild);
}
// Usage -- callback is inlined here, but could be a named function
loadAsync('https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=test¤cy=USD', function() {
paypal.Buttons({
// Set up the transaction
createOrder: function(data, actions) {
return actions.order.create({
purchase_units: [{
amount: {
value: '0.01'
}
}]
});
},
// Finalize the transaction
onApprove: function(data, actions) {
return actions.order.capture().then(function(details) {
//...
});
}
}).render('#paypal-button-container');
});
There's also a node package to do much the same, @paypal/paypal-js
