How ecommerce teams could use it

ecommerceguide editorial

Illustrative scenarios written by ecommerceguide from the product's documented capabilities. They are not customer case studies.

  1. Subscription brand taking card payments through PayPal

    Stored cards need refreshing before renewal charges are attempted

    Intended outcomeThe create_subscription tool registers a card number and expiry date with PayPal's Account Updater service

  2. Engineering team maintaining a merchant billing codebase

    Card update notifications from PayPal need an endpoint to receive them

    Intended outcomeThe setup_webhook_events_in_merchant_code_base tool adds webhook event handling code at a given path

  3. Developer testing a PayPal integration before going live

    Account Updater calls need to run against non-production data

    Intended outcomePAYPAL_ENVIRONMENT can be set to SANDBOX or MOCKDB instead of LIVE

Who it suits

Probably not for

You need a hosted remote endpoint, OAuth, support for a processor other than PayPal, or a vendor-maintained package rather than a community GitHub repo.
