node-paymentbot

An animation that shows the paypal integration in use

Description

A sample bot that demonstrates an integration between Bot Framework and PayPal

Setup

  1. Download and install a Bot Framework emulator, as this bot can be run locally: https://docs.botframework.com/en-us/tools/bot-framework-emulator/

  2. Create a PayPal account, and then create an application. You can do that here: https://developer.paypal.com/developer/applications/create. After creating the application, grab the Client ID and Client Secret from the application dashboard. These will be used to allow the bot to connect to PayPal.

  3. Create a PayPal sandbox test user here: https://developer.paypal.com/developer/accounts/. This is only needed if you use the PayPal "sandbox" environment to test payments. You can change the environment PayPal will create payments on by changing the PAYPAL_CLIENT_MODE environment variable to "live".

  4. Export these environment variables: PAYPAL_CLIENT_MODE, PAYPAL_CLIENT_ID, PAYPAL_CLIENT_SECRET.

For Mac OS/Linux:

export PAYPAL_CLIENT_MODE="sandbox"
PAYPAL_CLIENT_ID="YOUR CLIENT ID FROM PAYPAL"
PAYPAL_CLIENT_SECRET="YOUR CLIENT SECRET FROM PAYPAL"

For Windows using PowerShell:

$env:PAYPAL_CLIENT_MODE = "sandbox"
$env:PAYPAL_CLIENT_ID = "YOUR CLIENT ID FROM PAYPAL"
$env:PAYPAL_CLIENT_SECRET = "YOUR CLIENT SECRET FROM PAYPAL"

Installation

Assuming that you've installed a version of Node 6:

  1. git clone http://github.com/bnookala/node-paymentbot
  2. cd node-paymentbot
  3. npm install
  4. node app.js
  5. Start up the emulator, verify the 'Bot URL' field is the same as the URL written to your console by the application.
  6. Done! 🎉
