dynamically add variable to paypal button render












0















I am following the paypal quick start tutorial. I have an input field that captures the amount entered by the user. Is there any way in javascript that I could dynamically change the amount of the below script. I have tried adding a global variable but it does not work.



<div id="paypal-button"></div>
<script src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/api/checkout.js"></script>
<script>
paypal.Button.render({
// Configure environment
env: 'sandbox',
client: {
sandbox: 'demo_sandbox_client_id',
production: 'demo_production_client_id'
},
// Customize button (optional)
locale: 'en_US',
style: {
size: 'small',
color: 'gold',
shape: 'pill',
},

// Enable Pay Now checkout flow (optional)
commit: true,

// Set up a payment
payment: function(data, actions) {
return actions.payment.create({
transactions: [{
amount: {
total: '0.01',
currency: 'USD'
}
}]
});
},
// Execute the payment
onAuthorize: function(data, actions) {
return actions.payment.execute().then(function() {
// Show a confirmation message to the buyer
window.alert('Thank you for your purchase!');
});
}
}, '#paypal-button');

  • Which value are you trying to change exactly? And when do you want to do it?

In transactions it could be as simple as getting the input's value from the field, for example:



transactions: [{
amount: {
total: document.getElementById("paymentInput").value,
currency: 'USD'
}
}]


Although I would also do a bit of input sanitation before blindly accepting their keyboard input.



Here is a working example:






document.getElementById("submitButton").addEventListener("click", handleSubmit);

function handleSubmit() {
let payment = function(data, actions) {
return {
transactions: [{
amount: {
total: document.getElementById("paymentInput").value,
currency: 'USD'
}
}]
}
}

console.log(`payment of ${payment().transactions[0].amount.total} submitted`)

}

<input id="paymentInput" />
<button id="submitButton">Submit</button>
