Using local paypal-checkout-components

This repo uses the button renderer from github.com/paypal/paypal-checkout-components. To pull in local changes from paypal-checkout-components to this module:

Preflight call

This section is relevant to integrations passing data-user-id-token, for vaulted/one-click button renders.

Rendering the vaulted button can be time consuming. The Smart Buttons server allows a pre-flight call to be made. This pre-caches the button, ready to be rendered immediately when the buyer lands on your page. This should typically be done in one of the following places:

  • On a page immediately prior to displaying the Smart Buttons
  • On a single-page app prior to displaying the Smart Buttons, if the Smart Buttons are displayed after a user action
  • On the server-side prior to rendering the cart or checkout page containing the Smart Buttons

To invoke, simply make a call to the following URL:

https://www.paypal.com/smart/buttons/preload?client-id=CLIENT_ID&user-id-token=ID_TOKEN

The following URL params can be passed:

  • client-id: (required) Your PayPal client id
  • user-id-token: (required) Your customer's id token
  • merchant-id (optional) The merchant id or email of the transaction payee
  • amount: (optional) The estimated amount of the transaction
  • currency: (optional) The currency of the transaction

This request can be made as a fire-and-forget call: you do not need to wait for a response, or check the status code of the response.
