<!-- Set up a container element for the button -->
<div id="paypal-button-container"></div>
<!-- Include the PayPal JavaScript SDK -->
<script src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=test¤cy=USD"></script>
<script>
// Render the PayPal button into #paypal-button-container
paypal.Buttons({
// Call your server to set up the transaction
createOrder: function(data, actions) {
return fetch('/demo/checkout/api/paypal/order/create/', {
method: 'post'
}).then(function(res) {
return res.json();
}).then(function(orderData) {
return orderData.id;
});
},
// Call your server to finalize the transaction
onApprove: function(data, actions) {
return fetch('/demo/checkout/api/paypal/order/' + data.orderID + '/capture/', {
method: 'post'
}).then(function(res) {
return res.json();
}).then(function(orderData) {
// Three cases to handle:
// (1) Recoverable INSTRUMENT_DECLINED -> call actions.restart()
// (2) Other non-recoverable errors -> Show a failure message
// (3) Successful transaction -> Show confirmation or thank you
// This example reads a v2/checkout/orders capture response, propagated from the server
// You could use a different API or structure for your 'orderData'
var errorDetail = Array.isArray(orderData.details) && orderData.details[0];
if (errorDetail && errorDetail.issue === 'INSTRUMENT_DECLINED') {
return actions.restart(); // Recoverable state, per:
// https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/integration-features/funding-failure/
}
if (errorDetail) {
var msg = 'Sorry, your transaction could not be processed.';
if (errorDetail.description) msg += '\n\n' + errorDetail.description;
if (orderData.debug_id) msg += ' (' + orderData.debug_id + ')';
return alert(msg); // Show a failure message (try to avoid alerts in production environments)
}
// Successful capture! For demo purposes:
console.log('Capture result', orderData, JSON.stringify(orderData, null, 2));
var transaction = orderData.purchase_units[0].payments.captures[0];
alert('Transaction '+ transaction.status + ': ' + transaction.id + '\n\nSee console for all available details');
// Replace the above to show a success message within this page, e.g.
// const element = document.getElementById('paypal-button-container');
// element.innerHTML = '';
// element.innerHTML = '<h3>Thank you for your payment!</h3>';
// Or go to another URL: actions.redirect('thank_you.html');
});
}
}).render('#paypal-button-container');
</script>

Integrating Into A Checkout Page
You will need to have a form which calculates the total for the basket. You will then need to add this value into the create order function.
// Call your server to set up the transaction
createOrder: function(data, actions) {
flow: 'checkout',
amount: '10.00',
currency: 'GBP',
intent: 'order' // this value must either be `capture` or match the intent passed into the PayPal SDK intent query parameter
return fetch('/demo/checkout/api/paypal/order/create/', {
method: 'post'
}).then(function(res) {
return res.json();
}).then(function(orderData) {
return orderData.id;
});
},
This will set the amount to pay to £10, you can also add much more information like in the example below:
