Dive into an effortless way to connect PayPal with Adalo, making your payment process smooth and boosting your app's potential. Follow our easy guide step by step!
Integrating PayPal with Adalo helps you build smooth, secure payment experiences right inside custom apps. You’ll need to set up a PayPal account, get your API credentials, then plug those credentials into Adalo. Plus, Adalo comes with custom actions and third-party API support, making it easy to link up with PayPal’s payment gateways without a hitch. Got a handle on the unique needs and features of both platforms? Great! That’ll let you create a transaction workflow that’s straightforward and bolsters user satisfaction and trust.
First things first, you need a PayPal Business Account. This will let you handle payments. Make sure PayPal can talk to other platforms like Adalo.
Head over to the PayPal Developer Dashboard at https://developer.paypal.com/. Log in and find your way to the Dashboard.
In the Developer Dashboard, click on "My Apps & Credentials". Under "REST API apps", click "Create App". Give your app a name and hit "Create". This will give you a Client ID and Secret, which you'll need for Adalo.
In the app details, you'll see "Live" and "Sandbox" sections. Here you'll find your API credentials: Client ID and Secret. Use "Live" for real transactions and "Sandbox" for testing.
Log in to Adalo and go to the app where you want to add PayPal. Go to the Database section and create a new Collection called “Payments” (or whatever you like).
Add the fields you need to store payment details, like:
amountcurrencystatustransaction_idIn Adalo, go to the “Components” section. Look for and install the “Custom Actions” component to handle API stuff.
Check out the PayPal API documentation at https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/overview/. This will help you understand how to make payment requests and handle responses.
In your Adalo app’s left panel, select “New Custom Action”. Set it up to handle PayPal payments.
POSTContent-Type as application/json and Authorization as Bearer <Client_ID>:<Secret>Design a screen in Adalo for payments. Add input fields for the user to enter payment details (amount, currency, etc.).
Add a button to start the payment process. Link this button to the Custom Action you made in Step 9, making sure it sends the user’s data to PayPal.
Set up the Custom Action to handle PayPal’s response. Store the response data (transaction ID, status, etc.) in the Payment collection you created earlier.
Before going live, test everything using PayPal’s Sandbox credentials. Make sure transactions work and data is stored correctly in Adalo.
Once you’re sure everything works in Sandbox, switch the Custom Action to Live credentials. Do a final round of testing to make sure the live setup is good to go.
Deploy your Adalo app with PayPal payments. Keep an eye on transactions to make sure everything runs smoothly.
