- **Pricing**: Free

## Installation

Packagento is licence-gated, so even free packages need a licence on a project before Composer can resolve them.

1. **Sign in or create an account** at https://packagento.com/customer/account/.

2. **Add the package to your account.** Open https://packagento.com/iways/module-pay-pal-plus and complete the free checkout. A licence is minted automatically.

3. **Create or pick a project, then activate the licence on it.**
   - Projects represent the Magento installs you deploy to. Manage them at https://packagento.com/projects/.
   - Activate the new licence on the project you'll deploy this package to. Activation is what generates the Composer credentials scoped to that project.

4. **Add the project credentials to your Magento codebase.**

   Grab the project's public + private key from https://packagento.com/projects/ (open the project, then its Credentials tab), and add them to `auth.json`:

   ```json
   {
     "http-basic": {
       "packagento.com": {
         "username": "ppk_live_...",
         "password": "psk_live_..."
       }
     }
   }
   ```

   Add the Packagento Composer repository to `composer.json`:

   ```json
   {
     "repositories": [
       { "type": "composer", "url": "https://packagento.com" }
     ]
   }
   ```

5. **Install and apply.**

   ```bash
   composer require iways/module-pay-pal-plus:*
   bin/magento setup:upgrade
   bin/magento setup:di:compile
   bin/magento cache:flush
   ```

## What it does

PayPal PLUS for Magento 2

## README

PayPal PLUS is a solution where PayPal offers PayPal, Credit Card, Direct Debit (ELV) and Pay Upon Invoice (Kauf auf Rechnung) as individual payment options on the payment selection page. These payment methods cover around 80% customer demand in Germany.

No matter how customer chooses to pay, it is always a single PayPal transaction for merchant, including all resulting advantages like Seller Protection and easy refund.

Based on the payment method selected by the buyer, he will be presented with either the PayPal Login page or an input mask for bank / credit card details. Should PayPal PLUS service be unavailable, standard Magento payment methods will be displayed.

### Installation

To install the Magento 2 PayPal PLUS extension please add our repository to your Magento _composer.json_.

    {
        "repositories": [
            {
                "url": "https://github.com/i-ways/magento2-paypal-plus",
                "type": "vcs"
            }
        ]
    }

After you added our repository you need to require our module.

There are two possibilities:

1. Run the command _composer require iways/module-pay-pal-plus_
2. Add it manually to your _composer.json_

    "require": {
        "iways/module-pay-pal-plus": "~1.0.0"
    }

### Enable our module in Magento

To enable our module via Magento 2 CLI go to your Magento root and run:

    bin/magento module:enable --clear-static-content Iways_PayPalPlus

In order to initialize database updates please run following command afterwards:

    bin/magento setup:upgrade

Depending on your Magento 2 installation setup, you may want to run following additional command:

	bin/magento setup:di:compile

The Magento 2 PayPal PLUS module should now be installed and ready to use.

## Quality

Latest release (1.3.6) fails the Packagento QA pipeline. Verdicts below are per-cell (Magento line × PHP version) for the matrixed tools, and run-once for the static / security tiers.


### Compatibility

Each Magento line is installed on its supported PHP versions, then the module is built (DI compile + static-content deploy). Cells show passed / failed / untested; staircase gaps render as `–`.

| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | not tested | not tested | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | not tested | not tested | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | not tested | not tested |


### Code Quality

Advisory checks against the module's source. Never affect the Compatibility verdict — a phpcs finding can't make a module incompatible.

#### Static Analysis

Coding standards (phpcs), mess detection (phpmd), copy-pasted code (cpd), PHP cross-version compatibility, composer.json validity. Each runs once for the whole module.

| Tool | Status | Findings | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHPCS | Fail | 43 | 1 error, 42 warnings (ruleset: Magento2) — 7 auto-fixable with phpcbf |
| PHPMD | Warning | 28 | 28 rule violations (MissingImport:9, UnusedFormalParameter:5, IfStatementAssignment:4, ExcessiveParameterList:3, UnusedLocalVariable:2) |
| Cpd | Pass | 0 |  |
| Composer validate | Info | 1 | valid; 1 advisory note (composer validate --strict) |

#### PHPStan

Type-checks the module against a real Magento install. Re-runs per Magento + PHP version because resolvable symbols differ between releases.

| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | N/A | N/A | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | N/A | N/A |


### Tests

Unit and integration suites run per Magento + PHP cell. Test failures speak to the module's behaviour, not its compatibility with a line, so they're reported here separately.

#### Unit Tests

| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | N/A | N/A | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | N/A | N/A |

#### Integration Tests

| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | N/A | N/A | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | N/A | N/A |


### Security

Dependency-advisory audit (composer audit) plus a source malware scan. A malware detection fails the version outright.

| Tool | Status | Findings | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Composer audit | Pass | 0 |  |
| Malware scan | Pass | 0 |  |

## Licence and pricing

Free. A licence is still minted on checkout and bound to your project for Composer access — no payment step.

Refundable within 14 days of first purchase via https://packagento.com/account/refunds/.

## Install via Claude Code or any MCP client

The Packagento MCP server can run the licence + project + Composer steps above in one tool call:

```
purchase_and_install_packages(
  composer_names=["iways/module-pay-pal-plus"],
  project_id="proj_xxx"
)
```

This handles cart, checkout, licence minting, project activation, and writes auth.json credentials. Connect a client with `claude mcp add packagento https://mcp.packagento.com`. Full setup at https://packagento.com/docs/mcp-setup.
