Showing paypal transaction details after payment

Question

After a succesful payment using Paypal in my web site, the browser only shows an alert:

// Execute the payment
  onAuthorize: function (data, actions) {
    return actions.payment.execute()
      .then(function () {
        // Show a confirmation message to the buyer

        window.alert('Compra realizada con éxito. Recibirá más detalles por email!');

      });
  }

I am using now the sandbox option, but I would know how to give the user more details about the transaction.

I see there is a 'data' param in the function, are there the transaction details? If yes, how can I read them to show them later to the user?

Answer 1

The result of the operation is passed to the callback function, and accessible this way :

.then( function(result) {
        console.log(result); // Logs all the stuff that gets back from Paypal
});

As per the doc :

// Execute the payment:
    // 1. Add an onAuthorize callback
    onAuthorize: function(data, actions) {
      // 2. Make a request to your server
      return actions.request.post('/my-api/execute-payment/', {
        paymentID: data.paymentID,
        payerID:   data.payerID
      })
        .then(function(res) {
          // 3. Show the buyer a confirmation message.
        });
    }
