# PayPal Vault v3 Integration - Complete Setup Guide

## Overview

This guide covers the complete setup for PayPal Vault v3 API integration, which allows you to save payment methods and charge them off-session (without user presence) for subscriptions and auto top-ups.

**Key Benefit:** No "Reference Transactions" permission required from PayPal!

## 1. PayPal Developer Dashboard Configuration

### A. Sandbox Setup (for testing)

1. **Go to:** https://developer.paypal.com/dashboard/
2. **Navigate to:** Apps & Credentials → **Sandbox**
3. **Create or select your app**
4. **Verify these features are enabled:**
   - ✅ Accept payments

3. **Note the credentials** for both accounts

### C. Production Setup (when ready to go live)

---

## 3. Application Configuration

### A. Update Admin Settings

In your database `admin_settings` table, update the `payment_gateways` setting:

```json
{
  "paypal": {
    "enabled": true,
    "client_id": "YOUR_SANDBOX_CLIENT_ID",
    "client_secret": "YOUR_SANDBOX_SECRET",
    "webhook_secret": "YOUR_WEBHOOK_ID",
    "sandbox": true
  }
}
```

**For Production:**
```json
{
  "paypal": {
    "enabled": true,
    "client_id": "YOUR_LIVE_CLIENT_ID",
    "client_secret": "YOUR_LIVE_SECRET",
    "webhook_secret": "YOUR_LIVE_WEBHOOK_ID",
    "sandbox": false
  }
}
```

### B. Database Migration

The payment_methods table has been updated with new columns:
- `gateway` - Identifies the payment gateway version (e.g., 'paypal_v3')
- `last4` - Last 4 digits for cards
- `brand` - Card brand (Visa, Mastercard, etc.)
- `paypal_email` - PayPal account email
- `status` - Payment method status

**Migration runs automatically** when the application starts.

## 4. Testing the Integration

### A. Test Adding PayPal Payment Method

1. **Start your application**
2. **Login to your dashboard**
3. **Navigate to:** `/dashboard/billing`
4. **Click:** Add PayPal
5. **You'll be redirected to PayPal sandbox login**
6. **Login with your sandbox buyer account**
7. **Approve the payment method**
8. **You'll be redirected back** with success message

### B. Verify in Database

```sql
SELECT * FROM payment_methods WHERE type = 'paypal' AND gateway = 'paypal_v3';
```

You should see:
- `identifier` = PayPal payment token ID
- `gateway` = 'paypal_v3'
- `paypal_email` = buyer's email
- `status` = 'active'

### C. Test Subscription Renewal

1. **Create a subscription** using the PayPal payment method
2. **Manually trigger renewal** or wait for scheduled renewal
3. **Check logs** for successful charge:
   ```
   PayPal payment token charged successfully: order_id=...
   ```

### D. Test Webhooks

1. **Go to:** PayPal Developer Dashboard → Webhooks
2. **Select your webhook**
3. **Click:** Webhook Simulator
4. **Select event:** `PAYMENT.CAPTURE.COMPLETED`
5. **Click:** Send Test
6. **Check your application logs:**
   ```
   Received PayPal webhook: PAYMENT.CAPTURE.COMPLETED
   PayPal payment capture completed: capture_id=...
   ```

## 5. API Flow Overview

### User Adds Payment Method

```
1. User clicks "Add PayPal"
   ↓
2. Backend: POST /v3/vault/setup-tokens
   → Returns: setup_token_id + approval_url
   ↓
3. User redirected to PayPal
   ↓
4. User approves
   ↓
5. PayPal redirects back with token
   ↓
6. Backend: POST /v3/vault/payment-tokens
   → Returns: payment_token_id (permanent)
   ↓
7. Store payment_token_id in database
```

### Subscription Renewal (Off-Session)

```
1. Renewal processor runs
   ↓
2. Fetch payment_method with gateway='paypal_v3'
   ↓
3. Backend: POST /v2/checkout/orders
   {
     payment_source: {
       token: { id: payment_token_id }
     },
     payment_instruction: {
       usage: 'MERCHANT',
       customer_present: false
     }
   }
   ↓
4. PayPal charges the saved payment method
   ↓
5. Webhook: PAYMENT.CAPTURE.COMPLETED
   ↓
6. Update subscription period
```

## 6. Troubleshooting

### Issue: "PayPal is not enabled"
**Solution:** Check `admin_settings` table, ensure `paypal.enabled = true`

### Issue: "Failed to initialize PayPal connection"
**Solution:** 
- Verify client_id and client_secret are correct
- Check if using sandbox credentials with sandbox=true
- Check application logs for detailed error

### Issue: "Invalid PayPal response"
**Solution:** 
- Check callback URL is accessible from internet
- Verify return_url in setup token matches your domain
- Check for any proxy/firewall blocking PayPal redirects

### Issue: Webhook not receiving events
**Solution:**
- Verify webhook URL is publicly accessible
- Check webhook is enabled in PayPal dashboard
- Use webhook simulator to test
- Check application logs for incoming requests

### Issue: "Payment token charge failed"
**Solution:**
- Verify payment token is still valid (not deleted by user)
- Check buyer's PayPal account has sufficient funds
- Review PayPal error response in logs
- Check if buyer's account is in good standing

## 7. Security Considerations

### A. Webhook Signature Verification

**Current Status:** Placeholder implementation (accepts all webhooks)

**Production TODO:** Implement proper signature verification
- See: `docs/paypal-webhook-security.md`
- Verify `PAYPAL-TRANSMISSION-SIG` header
- Call PayPal's verify-webhook-signature endpoint

### B. HTTPS Required

- ✅ Webhook URL must use HTTPS in production
- ✅ Callback URLs must use HTTPS
- ✅ Never expose client_secret in frontend code

### C. PCI Compliance

- ✅ Vault v3 handles card data - you never touch it
- ✅ Payment tokens are safe to store
- ✅ No card numbers stored in your database

---

## 8. Going Live Checklist

Before switching to production:

- [ ] Test complete flow in sandbox (add payment method, charge, webhook)
- [ ] Implement webhook signature verification
- [ ] Update configuration to use live credentials
- [ ] Set `sandbox: false` in admin_settings
- [ ] Update webhook URL to production domain
- [ ] Test with small real transaction
- [ ] Monitor logs for any errors
- [ ] Set up alerting for failed payments
- [ ] Document rollback procedure

---

## 9. Monitoring & Maintenance

### Key Metrics to Track

- Payment method addition success rate
- Subscription renewal success rate
- Webhook delivery success rate
- Payment failure reasons
- Dispute rate

### Log Monitoring

Watch for these log messages:
- `Failed to create PayPal vault setup`
- `Failed to charge payment token`
- `PayPal webhook signature verification failed`
- `PayPal payment capture denied`

### Regular Maintenance

- Review failed payment retry queue
- Monitor dispute notifications
- Check for expired/deleted payment tokens
- Update PayPal SDK/API versions as needed
