Capture an order
Call the Orders API from your server to immediately capture an order.
Know before you code
- To install the PayPal SDK on your server, see Set up Server-Side SDK. If you are calling the API directly, you do not need to install the SDK.
-
This client and server-side integration uses the following:
Use cases
- You need to make calls to your database, user session, or other APIs or web-services while setting up or capturing an order.
- You need to get order details, capture an order, or authorize an order from a different page.
1. Add server code
This code:
- Sets up your server to make calls to PayPal.
- Sets up your server to receive a call from the client with the order ID.
- Calls PayPal to capture the order.
- Saves the capture ID to your database.
- Handles any errors from the call.
- Returns a successful response to the client.
// Note: This is example code. Each server platform and programming language has a different way of handling requests, making HTTP API calls, and serving responses to the browser. // 1. Set up your server to make calls to PayPal // 1a. Add your client ID and secret PAYPAL_CLIENT = 'PAYPAL_SANDBOX_CLIENT'; PAYPAL_SECRET = 'PAYPAL_SANDBOX_SECRET'; // 1b. Point your server to the PayPal API PAYPAL_OAUTH_API = 'https://api-m.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token/'; PAYPAL_ORDER_API = 'https://api-m.sandbox.paypal.com/v2/checkout/orders/'; // 1c. Get an access token from the PayPal API basicAuth = base64encode(`${ PAYPAL_CLIENT }:${ PAYPAL_SECRET }`); auth = http.post(PAYPAL_OAUTH_API { headers: { Accept: `application/json`, Authorization: `Basic ${ basicAuth }` }, data: `grant_type=client_credentials` }); // 2. Set up your server to receive a call from the client function handleRequest(request, response) { // 2a. Get the order ID from the request body orderID = request.body.orderID; // 3. Call PayPal to capture the order capture = http.post(PAYPAL_ORDER_API + orderID + '/capture', { headers: { Accept: `application/json`, Authorization: `Bearer ${ auth.access_token }` } }); // 4. Save the capture ID to your database if (!capture.error) { captureID = capture.purchase_units[0] .payments.captures[0].id; database.saveCaptureID(captureID); } // 5. Handle any errors from the call if (capture.error) { console.error(capture.error); return response.send(500); } // 6. Return a successful response to the client response.send(200); }

For the full API reference, and example responses, see capture payment for order in the Orders API reference.
Note: Remember to swap the credentials and API URL from sandbox to live when going live with your integration.
2. Modify client code
Change the onApprove
function on your client. This function now calls your server with the order ID instead of actions.order.capture()
.
onApprove: function(data) {
return fetch('/my-server/capture-paypal-transaction', {
headers: {
'content-type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
orderID: data.orderID
})
}).then(function(res) {
return res.json();
}).then(function(details) {
alert('Transaction funds captured from ' + details.payer_given_name);
})
}
Step result
Your client and server are set up to call the Orders API to capture funds from an order.
Next step
Handle funding failures - Add JavaScript SDK code to check for a funding failure then restart the OnApprove
function so your buyer can select a new funding source.
