## 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/mohan-devstack/magento2-paypal-rest-checkout 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 mohan-devstack/magento2-paypal-rest-checkout:*
   bin/magento setup:upgrade
   bin/magento setup:di:compile
   bin/magento cache:flush
   ```

## What it does

Standalone PayPal REST Orders v2 payment integration for Magento 2. No Magento_Paypal or SOAP/NVP dependency. Server-side redirect checkout with capture, refund, and admin transaction support.

## README

A standalone PayPal REST Orders v2 payment module for Magento 2. Uses only the modern REST API — no dependency on `Magento_Paypal`, SOAP, or the deprecated NVP/SOAP stack that PayPal is retiring.

### Features

- PayPal REST Orders v2 API (`/v2/checkout/orders`)
- Server-side redirect checkout flow — no JS SDK required
- Automatic invoice generation on successful capture
- Online refunds (full and partial) via credit memo
- Admin transaction detail page with PayPal capture information
- Sandbox / Live toggle in admin config
- No `Magento_Paypal` dependency

### Requirements

- Magento 2.4.4 or later
- PHP 8.1 or later
- PayPal REST API credentials (Client ID + Secret from [developer.paypal.com](https://developer.paypal.com))

### Installation

#### Via Composer (recommended)

```bash
composer require mohan/magento2-paypal-rest-checkout
php bin/magento module:enable Mohan_PaypalRest
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento cache:clean
```

#### Manual

1. Copy the module to `app/code/Mohan/PaypalRest/`
2. Run:
   ```bash
   php bin/magento module:enable Mohan_PaypalRest
   php bin/magento setup:upgrade
   php bin/magento cache:clean
   ```

### Configuration

**Stores > Configuration > Mohan > PayPal REST Checkout**

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| Enabled | Enable/disable the payment method |
| Payment Title | Label shown at checkout (default: "PayPal") |
| Sort Order | Position in the payment method list |
| Payment from Applicable Countries | Restrict to specific countries |
| Use Sandbox | Enable for testing; disable for production |
| Client ID | From developer.paypal.com REST app |
| Client Secret | From developer.paypal.com REST app |

### Checkout Flow

1. Customer selects PayPal at checkout and clicks **Place Order**
2. Magento creates the order in `pending_payment` state
3. Module creates a PayPal Orders v2 order and redirects the customer to PayPal
4. Customer approves on PayPal and is returned to the store
5. Module captures the payment, generates an invoice, and moves the order to `processing`
6. Order confirmation email is sent

### Refunds

Full and partial refunds are processed via **Sales > Orders > Credit Memo** in the Magento admin. The module calls `/v2/payments/captures/{id}/refund` on PayPal automatically.

## Quality

Latest release (1.0.0) 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 | Pass | Pass | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | Pass | Pass | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | Pass | Pass |


### 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 | Warning | 24 | 24 warnings (ruleset: Magento2), 13 auto-fixable with phpcbf |
| PHPMD | Warning | 3 | 3 rule violations (UnusedPrivateField:3) |
| 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 | 9 | 9 | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | 9 | 9 | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | 9 | 9 |


### 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=["mohan-devstack/magento2-paypal-rest-checkout"],
  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.
