    PayPal Payments Advanced web service

VERSION
    version 0.000008

SYNOPSIS
        use WebService::PayPal::PaymentsAdvanced;
        my $payments = WebService::PayPal::PaymentsAdvanced->new(
            {
                password => 'seekrit',
                user     => 'username',
                vendor   => 'somevendor',
            }
        );

        my $response = $payments->create_secure_token(
            {
                AMT            => 100,
                TRXTYPE        => 'S',
                BILLINGTYPE    => 'MerchantInitiatedBilling',
                CANCELURL      => 'https://example.com/cancel',
                ERRORURL       => 'https://example.com/error',
                L_BILLINGTYPE0 => 'MerchantInitiatedBilling',
                NAME           => 'Chuck Norris',
                RETURNURL      => 'https://example.com/return',
            }
        );

        my $uri = $response->hosted_form_uri;

        # Store token data for later use.  You'll need to implement this yourself.
        $foo->freeze_token_data(
            token    => $response->secure_token,
            token_id => $response->secure_token_id,
        );

        # Later, when PayPal returns a silent POST or redirects the user to your
        # return URL:

        my $redirect_response = $payments->get_response_from_redirect(
            ip_address => $ip,
            params     => $params,
        );

        # Fetch the tokens from the original request. You'll need to implement
        # this yourself.

        my $thawed = $foo->get_thawed_tokens(...);

        # Don't do anything until you're sure the tokens are ok.
        if (   $thawed->secure_token ne $redirect->secure_token
            || $thawed->secure_token_id ne $response->secure_token_id ) {
            die 'Fraud!';
        }

        # Everything looks good.  Carry on!

    print $response->secure_token;

DESCRIPTION
    BETA BETA BETA. The interface is still subject to change.

    This is a wrapper around the "PayPal Payments Advanced" (AKA "PayPal
    Payflow Link") hosted forms. This code does things like facilitating
    secure token creation, providing an URL which you can use to insert an
    hosted_form into your pages and processing the various kinds of response
    you can get from PayPal.

    We also use various exception classes to make it easier for you to
    decide how to handle the parts that go wrong.

OBJECT INSTANTIATION
    The following parameters can be supplied to "new()" when creating a new
    object.

  Required Parameters
   password
    The value of the "password" field you use when logging in to the Payflow
    Manager. (You'll probably want to create a specific user just for API
    calls).

   user
    The value of the "user" field you use when logging in to the Payflow
    Manager.

   vendor
    The value of the "vendor" field you use when logging in to the Payflow
    Manager.

  Optional Parameters
   partner
    The value of the "partner" field you use when logging in to the Payflow
    Manager. Defaults to "PayPal".

   payflow_pro_uri
    The hostname for the Payflow Pro API. This is where token creation
    requests get directed. This already has a sensible (and correct)
    default, but it is settable so that you can more easily mock API calls
    when testing.

   payflow_link_uri
    The hostname for the Payflow Link website. This is the hosted service
    where users will enter their payment information. This already has a
    sensible (and correct) default, but it is settable in case you want to
    mock it while testing.

   production_mode
    This is a "Boolean". Set this to "true" if when you are ready to process
    real transactions. Defaults to "false".

   ua
    You may provide your own UserAgent, but it must be of the LWP::UserAgent
    family. If you do provide a UserAgent, be sure to set a sensible timeout
    value.

    This can be useful for debugging. You'll be able to get detailed
    information about the network calls which are being made.

        use LWP::ConsoleLogger::Easy qw( debug_ua );
        use LWP::UserAgent;
        use WebService::PayPal::PaymentsAdvanced;

        my $ua = LWP::UserAgent;
        debug_ua($ua);

        my $payments
            = WebService::PayPal::PaymentsAdvanced->new( ua => $ua, ... );

        # Now fire up a console and watch your network activity.

    Check the tests which accompany this distribution for an example of how
    to mock API calls using Test::LWP::UserAgent.

   validate_hosted_form_uri
    "Boolean". If enabled, this module will attempt to GET the uri which
    you'll be providing to the end user. This can help you identify issues
    on the PayPal side. This is helpful because you'll be able to log
    exceptions thrown by this method and deal with them accordingly. If you
    disable this option, you'll need to rely on end users to report issues
    which may exist within PayPal's hosted pages. Defaults to "true".

   verbose
    "Boolean". Sets "VERBOSITY=HIGH" on all transactions if enabled.
    Defaults to "true".

  Methods
   create_secure_token
    Create a secure token which you can use to create a hosted form uri.
    Returns a WebService::PayPal::PaymentsAdvanced::Response::SecureToken
    object.

        use WebService::PayPal::PaymentsAdvanced;
        my $payments = WebService::PayPal::PaymentsAdvanced->new(...);

        my $response = $payments->create_secure_token(
            {
                AMT            => 100,
                TRXTYPE        => 'S',
                BILLINGTYPE    => 'MerchantInitiatedBilling',
                CANCELURL      => 'https://example.com/cancel',
                ERRORURL       => 'https://example.com/error',
                L_BILLINGTYPE0 => 'MerchantInitiatedBilling',
                NAME           => 'Chuck Norris',
                RETURNURL      => 'https://example.com/return'
            }
        );

        print $response->secure_token;

   get_response_from_redirect
    This method can be used to parse responses from PayPal to your return
    URL. It's essentially a wrapper around
    WebService::PayPal::PaymentsAdvanced::Response::FromRedirect. Returns a
    WebService::PayPal::PaymentsAdvanced::Response object.

        my $response = $payments->get_response_from_redirect(
            params     => $params,
        );
        print $response->message;

   get_response_from_silent_post
    This method can be used to validate responses from PayPal to your silent
    POST url. If you provide an ip_address parameter, it will be validated
    against a list of known IPs which PayPal provides. You're encouraged to
    provide an IP address in order to prevent spoofing of payment responses.
    See WebService::PayPal::PaymentsAdvanced::Response::FromSilentPOST for
    more information on this behaviour.

    This method returns a
    WebService::PayPal::PaymentsAdvanced::Response::FromSilentPost::PayPal
    object for PayPal transactions. It returns a
    WebService::PayPal::PaymentsAdvanced::Response::FromSilentPost::CreditCa
    rd object for credit card transactions. You can either inspect the class
    return to you or use the "is_credit_card_transaction" or
    "is_paypal_transaction" methods to learn which method the customer paid
    with. Both methods return a "Boolean".

        my $response = $payments->get_response_from_redirect(
            ip_address => $ip,
            params     => $params,
        );
        print $response->message. "\n";
        if ( $response->is_credit_card_transaction ) {
            print $response->card_type, q{ }, $response->card_expiration;
        }

   post
    Generic method to post arbitrary params to PayPal. Requires a "HashRef"
    of parameters and returns a
    WebService::PayPal::PaymentsAdvanced::Response object. Any lower case
    keys will be converted to upper case before this response is sent.

        use WebService::PayPal::PaymentsAdvanced;
        my $payments = WebService::PayPal::PaymentsAdvanced->new(...);

        my $response = $payments->post( { TRXTYPE => 'V', ORIGID => $pnref, } );
        say $response->message;

        # OR
