setup_purchase method does works fine for me with my data api, but preapprove_payment method does not works.

This is my controller:

def pay
 gateway =  ActiveMerchant::Billing::PaypalAdaptivePayment.new(
  :login => "email",
  :password => "pass",
  :signature => "signature",
  :appid => "APP-80W284485P519543T" )
  response = gateway.preapprove_payment( 
  :return_url => user_orders_url(current_user),
  :cancel_url => user_orders_url(current_user),
  :sender_email =>"email",
  :start_date => Time.now,
  :end_date => Time.now,
  :currency_code =>"USD",
  :max_amount => "20",
  :maxNumberOfPayments => "2")
 puts response.preapproval_key
 puts gateway.debug
  # for redirecting the customer to the actual paypal site to finish the payment.
  redirect_to (gateway.redirect_url_for(response["preapproval_key"]))
end

I get in log:

What am I doing wrong?

Hey, is this the problem you are having?

#32

[hyperrjas]

I have commented this inquiry in #32 but with :notify_url does not work for me.

Can you provide a guideline with a correct request for preapproved payment in readme?.

Thank you very much!

[hyperrjas]

The problem is the method redirect_url_for for preapproved payment. The method correct is redirect_pre_approval_url_for in https://github.com/jpablobr/active_paypal_adaptive_payment/blob/master/lib/active_merchant/billing/gateways/paypal_adaptive_payment_common.rb#L26. Please can add these methods to the documentation? thanks!
