Suggestions on how to integrate paypal in vaadin v24

Flow
1

I could’nt find a paypal component at vaadin.com and vaadin addon directory so I guess I have to integrate paypal into my app by myself. Do you have some suggestions whats the easiest/best way to do it?

2

Use the REST API from the server? https://developer.paypal.com/api/rest/

3

What feature(s) of Paypal do you want to use?

4

only checkout via paypal buttons

5

I’m building a online platform with vaadin where users can register and buy digital tickets

6

Doesn’t the Paypal API support navigating to an actual Paypal page to do checkout, then back to your page?

7

The Java Sdk ist deprecated. :/

8

Surely that has nothing to do with the REST API?

9

I see theres an REST API I can call via http. So I would need a java sdk with an http client implementation that calls the api via http but this is a bit timeconsuming i think

10

Maybe this old blogpost can help you get started: Consuming REST services from Java applications | Vaadin

11

Here’s an example app, too: GitHub - vaadin/vaadin-rest-example: Example of using REST services in a Vaadin application

Thanks Olli. I figured out the neccessary API calls to fulfill the checkout. :slightly_smiling_face:
