Demo

Usage

Add paypal_native_checkout as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file. For Android setup, ensure you have the necessary permissions and configurations in your AndroidManifest.xml and build.gradle.

Android Platform Views

Paypal requires that you make changes to your AndroidManifest.xml

Prepare your app

Define the android.permission.INTERNET permission in the AndroidManifest.xml file of your application as follows:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
      ...

</manifest>

add this to your android/app/build.config

android {
    ...

    defaultConfig {

        minSdkVersion 23
        ...
    }
}

Enable the SDK

To enable the PayPal Mobile Checkout SDK:

• Navigate to your app on the My Apps & Credentials page of the Developer Dashboard.
• Go to Features > Other features and select the Log in with PayPal checkbox.
• Click on Advanced Settings, where you'll find the Return URL field.

You have two options for setting the Return URL:

1. Use an Android App Link registered within the Developer Console to handle SDK redirects.
2. Alternatively, use your application ID (typically referenced via BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID) and append ://paypalpay as the suffix to register your return URL. For example, if your application ID is com.paypal.app, enter com.paypal.app://paypalpay.

Ensure that the return URL in the Developer Dashboard exactly matches the one used in your SDK setup.

Additional notes:

• The application ID and return URL must use lowercase letters.
• If you change the return URL in the Developer Dashboard, PayPal will require a review of your app.
• Select the Full Name and Email checkboxes under Advanced Settings; these are scopes of the Identity API.

The SDK is now enabled for use in your application.
