Hi…
Great tutorial..
I have implemented both “EXPRESS” & “SIMPLE” Gateway. I have tried the solution that you have given. But I am having error like “This transaction is invalid. Please return to the recipient’s website to complete your transaction using their regular checkout flow.” on paypal site.

Can help me out???

Thanks..

[...] a monthly or yearly subscription plan with PayPal. Therefore, I did some googling and found that Jon Baker has already extended ActiveMerchant to add this functionality using PayPal’s Name-Value Pair [...]

@Vaibhav, @Amitava, this class is dependent on the PayPalNvCommonAPI class being present. I will need to investigate where it has been moved to or whether it has been removed and why as I know the project owners are keen to integrate my class.

uninitialized constant ActiveMerchant::Billing::PaypalExpressRecurringNvGateway::PaypalNvCommonAPI

The above exception is thrown after placing ‘paypal_express_recurring_nv.rb’ into ‘/vendor/plugins/active_merchant/lib/active_merchant/billing/gateways/’.

I have installed the plugin from github and it only has ‘paypal_common_api.rb’ but not ‘paypal_nv_common_api.rb’. If I change the line ‘include PaypalNvCommonAPI’ to ‘include include PaypalCommonAPI’ then it shows the following error:

NoMethodError (undefined method `add_pair’ for #):
/vendor/plugins/active_merchant/lib/active_merchant/billing/gateways/paypal_express_recurring_nv.rb:56:in `build_setup_agreement’
/vendor/plugins/active_merchant/lib/active_merchant/billing/gateways/paypal_express_recurring_nv.rb:25:in `setup_agreement’

Jon:

Great tutorial! I must it’s a real bummer with the Express Checkout API not supporting IPN. What are you to do if you collect payments for multiple websites from one PayPal account?

I also verified CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile API doesn’t seem to have any spot for the NotifyURL.

is it possible that response is a reserved word? I mean i changed to an instance variable of @cat = gateway.get_profile_details(@user.profile_id), and i then do a @cat.inspect in my view, and i see all the paypal info.

however if i change @cat to response (not an instance variable but just a variable) and then do a response.inspect in my view, i get the usual response debug information (around 100 lines on my browser).

Just thought i’d share. needless to say, i’m sticking with @cat.
