react-native-paypal-swift

React Native library that implements PayPal Checkout flow using purely native code (swift).

Installation

npm install react-native-paypal-swift or `yarn add react-native-paypal-swift`

[iOS] Add pod 'Braintree', '~> 4' and pod 'Braintree/DataCollector' to your Podfile.
[iOS] Run pod install
[iOS] Register a URL scheme in Xcode (must always start with your Bundle Identifier and end in .payments - e.g. your.app.id.payments). See details here.

[iOS] Edit your AppDelegate as follows:

Objective C ~> AppDelegate.m

#import "BraintreeCore.h"
#import "BraintreePayPal.h"
#import "BTDataCollector.h"

static NSString *URLScheme;

@implementation AppDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
  didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  NSString *bundleIdentifier = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleIdentifier];
  NSString *urlscheme = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@.payments", bundleIdentifier];
  URLScheme = urlscheme;
  [BTAppSwitch setReturnURLScheme:urlscheme];
}

// if you support only iOS 9+, add the following method
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
    openURL:(NSURL *)url
    sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication
    annotation:(id)annotation
{
    if ([url.scheme localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:URLScheme] == NSOrderedSame) {
        return [BTAppSwitch handleOpenURL:url sourceApplication:sourceApplication];
    }
    return NO;
}

// otherwise, if you support iOS 8, add the following method
  - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
      openURL:(NSURL *)url
      options:(NSDictionary<UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey,id> *)options
  {
      if ([url.scheme localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:URLScheme] == NSOrderedSame) {
          return [BTAppSwitch handleOpenURL:url options:options];
      }
      return NO;
  }

Swift ~> AppDelegate.swift

   func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
       BTAppSwitch.setReturnURLScheme("com.your-company.your-app.payments")
       return true
   }

  // if you're using UISceneDelegate (introduced in iOS 13), call BTAppSwitch's handleOpenURLContext method from within the scene:openURLContexts scene delegate method.
   func scene(_ scene: UIScene, openURLContexts URLContexts: Set<UIOpenURLContext>) {
       URLContexts.forEach { context in
           if context.url.scheme?.localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare("com.your-company.your-app.payments") == .orderedSame {
               BTAppSwitch.handleOpenURLContext(context)
           }
       }
   }

 // otherwise, if you aren't using UISceneDelegate, call BTAppSwitch's handleOpenURL method from within the application:openURL:options app delegate method.
  func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool {
      if url.scheme?.localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare("com.your-company.your-app.payments") == .orderedSame {
          return BTAppSwitch.handleOpen(url, options: options)
      }
      return false
  }

Usage

First you need to get a valid token from your server. Refer to this.

Then you can execute the following code, for example reacting to a button press.

    import {Paypal} from "react-native-paypal-swift";

    // ...
    const CLIENT_TOKEN = useMemo<string>(() => 'sandbox_v29bk2j6_xxxxxxxxx', []);
    // For one time payments
   const requestOneTimePayment = useCallback(() => {
       Paypal.requestOneTimePayment(CLIENT_TOKEN,
         {
           amount: '10',
         },
       ).then(resOneTimePayment => {
            //   nonce,
            //   payerId,
            //   email ,
            //   firstName,
            //   lastName ,
            //   phone,
            //   billingAddress,
            //   shippingAddress
         console.log({ resOneTimePayment });
       }).catch(err => {
         console.log(err);
       });
     }, []);

     const requestBillingAgreement = useCallback(() => {
       Paypal.requestBillingAgreement(CLIENT_TOKEN,
         {
           billingAgreementDescription: 'Your agreement description',
           currencyCode: 'GBP',
           localeCode: 'en_GB',
         },
       ).then(resBillingAgreement => {
            //   nonce,
            //   payerId,
            //   email ,
            //   firstName,
            //   lastName ,
            //   phone,
            //   billingAddress,
            //   shippingAddress
         console.log({ resBillingAgreement });
       }).catch(err => {
         console.log(err);
       });
     }, []);

    const requestDeviceData = useCallback(() => {
        Paypal.requestDeviceData(CLIENT_TOKEN).then(resDeviceData => {
          alert(`Your correlation id: ${resDeviceData?.deviceData?.correlation_id}`);
          console.log({ resDeviceData });
        }).catch(err => {
          console.log(err);
        });
      }, []);
// ...

Creating/Finding client token

Note that the client token should be served via a backend service but can be hardcoded:

Go to https://www.braintreegateway.com or https://sandbox.braintreegateway.com/ and login or create an account
Click the gear at the top and select to API
You can find your token under Tokenization Keys. You will need to create one if none exists

Backend implementation

For an overview of the braintree payment flow see https://developers.braintreepayments.com/start/overview

This library covers the client setup here: https://developers.braintreepayments.com/start/hello-client

It does NOT however cover the server portion here: https://developers.braintreepayments.com/start/hello-server

You will need the server portion in order to complete your transactions. See a simple example of this server in /exampleServer. The example app is pointed to this on default
