PayPal JavaScript SDK
Greetings,
Has anyone successfully utilized this? I have looked at their documentation and was just recently directed to their integration builder. I envisioned using a code page(s) but after re...

Thanks for the response. I get the gist of what you're saying, but to actually begin to do that work is beyond my understanding. I will have to see if I can find a developer in my budget or something.

What specifically is your end goal? Are you trying to have some kind of interface in Quickbase that they would be interacting with Paypal - or are you trying integrate paypal where some kind of event / trigger in Quickbase outbounds to based on QB data? If it's the latter where you just need to send and receive information from Paypal you don't necessarily need the code page - that could be done potentially through PIpelines or a server setup to interact with QB.

The end goal is to show PayPal buttons and fields for people to make a purchase with. While also showing a flyer and/or any other relevant details or instructions. Nothing else from PayPal is needed.

------------------------------So the person interacting with Quickbase would be picking an item and then opting to make a purchase of said item using Paypal? So the payment goes to you from that person? Is that accurate?
If that's the case then you can probably get away with a codepage only - since you're not actually authenticating with your account via a server. In theory (just spitballing) you could have the user in question authenticate themselves to Paypal through a pop up window or leverage their google account or something in that vein - and then send you that payment / process the purchase. Still a significant development effort - but if this is correct then it's just that person authenticating themselves through the browser and you're holding the token short term which makes it more doable.

------------------------------Yup. The drop down, quantity, and any comments about the purchase are all fields provided by the PayPal code as well. The standard integration instructions reference their JavaScript SDK and involves saving some js to a file and another js to a file for their back end stuff. A code page can be saved as a .js, right? I was thinking, instead of "creating folders and saving files", I could save multiple code pages and reference those accordingly but, I am not sure.
