Dynamics 365 Payment Connector for PayPal

This article provides an overview of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Payment Connector for PayPal (PayPal payment connector). It includes a list of supported features and functionality, a guide to setting up and configuring the connector, troubleshooting information, and descriptions of some common issues.

Warning

The Dynamics 365 Commerce pattern for PayPal and Google Pay Express payment behavior isn't currently recommended for regions enforcing Revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2) requirements. The Commerce payment module express payment patterns calculate the final order price on the Commerce checkout page when it has obtained the delivery address for a user's order. PSD2 recommends that users see the full order total price within the authentication window of the digital wallet. Commerce will track future work to update PayPal and Google Pay module behavior to support express flows by updating order details within the wallet payment window when a delivery address is selected.

Key terms

Term Description
PayPal Wallet Also known as the PayPal "button," PayPal Wallet describes the customer experience and integration supported by the PayPal payment connector.
Wallet A payment type that doesn't include traditional payment characteristics, such as the BIN range and expiration date, which are used to differentiate among credit and debit card types.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce offers an out-of-box integration for PayPal Wallet. When the PayPal payment connector is configured, the PayPal button is a selectable payment method as part of online order checkout. When users select PayPal, they're directed to complete their payment directly with PayPal and then are returned to the online storefront for order completion.

The PayPal payment connector is implemented using the same payments SDK that is used for credit card payments. To better support PayPal payments, support for noncredit card payments was enhanced with the addition of support for "wallet" payment types. Specifically, PayPal payments don't return a BIN range. To support PayPal and other wallet payments, a new mapping for payments was introduced that doesn't include BIN range. This new mapping can also be used to augment existing BIN range mapping for credit card payment methods. For more information, see Wallet payment support.

The PayPal payment connector isn't available in China. For other locales where Dynamics 365 Commerce is available, there are currently no restrictions.

Functional overview

PayPal Wallet in storefront

The PayPal payment connector supports the use of the PayPal Wallet, or PayPal button, for e-commerce payments. When the PayPal payment connector is configured for the online storefront, customers are presented with the option to pay using the PayPal button at the time of payment. When customers select the PayPal button, they're redirected to a PayPal Wallet mini-browser window where they're authenticated by PayPal and can select their method of payment. Upon successful authentication and selection of a payment method, customers are redirected back to the storefront with the PayPal payment loaded into the checkout form. When the order is placed, the PayPal payment is included as a payment line on the order, and is synchronized to Commerce headquarters.

For more information on PayPal Wallet, visit the PayPal Checkout page hosted by PayPal.

Fulfillment

Orders with PayPal payment lines are fulfilled in the same manner as orders that are paid using a credit card. When an order is created, the PayPal payment is added in an authorized state. Upon fulfillment, whether the order is shipped to the customer from a distribution center or picked up in a store, the payment authorization that is associated with the order is then captured using the same payments SDK requests used to capture credit card payments.

Fulfillment for PayPal orders supports incremental capture. This means that if an order is partially fulfilled and invoiced, the same original authorization is referenced when the remainder of the order is fulfilled instead of requiring a new authorization.

Authorization expiration

Orders made using the PayPal payment connector should be fulfilled within 30 days. If an order can't be fulfilled or invoiced within 30 days, the original authorization expires. The PayPal payment connector doesn't currently support billing agreements. Recurring billing agreements, similar to recurring card references/tokens, are required to automatically generate new authorizations after original authorization expiration. This means that if an authorization expires, the order falls into a "don't process" state and the customer must be contacted to arrange for an alternate form of payment.

Order Intent

Beginning in Commerce version 10.0.30, the PayPal payment connector configuration in headquarters includes the OrderIntent field, which allows the configuration of the PayPal payment connector to operate with a saved order with the PayPal service for the online channel. After a payer approves an order, the PayPal payment connector sends a command to save the PayPal order, which allows for future references against the order within PayPal. For Commerce, this action means that a specific PayPal order reference can be reauthorized if a void was previously called. Merchants can also work with PayPal to configure the order expiry duration, and to customize functionality to reauthorize against a PayPal order if the original authorization isn't expired.

When you configure the PayPal payment connector in Commerce headquarters, the OrderIntent field can have two values:

  • Authorize: This configuration value is the default value. If the field is left blank, Authorize becomes the default value. Configuring the OrderIntent field with the Authorize value correlates to the PayPal processing instruction value of NO_INSTRUCTION. The order is authorized with PayPal and the authorization can't be modified when this value is used.
  • Save: Configuring the OrderIntent field with the Save value correlates to the PayPal processing instruction value of ORDER_SAVED_EXPLICITLY. When this value is used, order references are saved in the PayPal service.

Configure PayPal for the storefront checkout module

For information on configuring the storefront checkout module to use PayPal in the checkout module, see Payment module.

Use the payment express section on the cart and checkout pages with PayPal using the payment module

Warning

The Dynamics 365 Commerce pattern for PayPal Express isn't currently recommended for regions enforcing PSD2 requirements. The payment module used for PayPal support calculates the final order price upon return to the Commerce checkout page when it has acquired the delivery address information for a user's order. PSD2 recommends that users see the full order total price within the authentication window of the digital wallet. Commerce will track future work to update the PayPal express patterns to support express flows by updating order details within the PayPal payment window when a delivery address is selected.

The Commerce payment module payment express patterns provide site users with the option to check out faster by using their payment service account information during the checkout process. The payment module payment express actions reference the linked payment connector via the Supported tender types attribute string of the payment connector. Express payment actions within the payment module then return the user-selected order details (address, contact information, and payment method) to prefill the checkout form.

When the payment module is used with express patterns for PayPal, if customers select the PayPal button in the Payment Express section, the PayPal payment window opens. Users can then sign in to their PayPal account to use their account shipping address, billing address, email address, and PayPal payment method of choice to pay for the transaction.

When users complete the action in the PayPal window, they're directed to the Commerce site checkout page, where the checkout form is prefilled with their PayPal account details. After users return to the checkout page from the PayPal window, they see the following details:

  • In the payment express flow, the first delivery option that is available for the shipping address that was returned is preselected for the customer.
  • The shipping address and contact information, such as the customer's email address, are prepopulated in the checkout form. If they're using express checkout, the email address from the express account is used.
  • The payment method is selected from the customer's digital PayPal wallet.

Customers can review orders and change checkout order details before they select Place order to finalize the order.

Configure the checkout fragment for express payments using PayPal with the payment module

To set up the checkout fragment for express payments using PayPal in site builder, follow these steps.

  1. Go to Fragments.
  2. Select the Checkout fragment, and then select Edit.
  3. In the Checkout express payment container slot, select the ellipsis (...), and then select Add module.
  4. In the Select modules dialog box, select Payment express, and then select OK.
  5. In the payment express module's properties pane, update the module properties as needed:
    1. To rename the module for easier identification in the Outline view, select the pencil symbol next to the module name, enter a new name, and then select the checkmark symbol.
    2. For the Height of the iFrame property, set a height in pixels that meets your page design needs (for example, enter "65" to set a height of 65 pixels).
    3. Set the Supported tender types value to PayPal. This value must match the Supported Tender Types string in the connector set up for the channel.
    4. The Payment style override property is used to apply CSS code styling to the module. Site builder CSS overrides and styles don't apply to the payment express module via this property. This styling doesn't affect the inner-window styles within the payment iframe rendered by the payment service.
    5. You can reference a Custom CSS class name to apply to the payment module, which can be a class name defined in the theme pack. This styling doesn't affect the inner window styles within the payment iframe element rendered by the payment service.
    6. Enabling the Render when module scrolls into view setting is recommended for modules that are hidden below the site user's view when interacting within the page. When Render when module scrolls into view is selected, the payment module renders on the site user's client device once the viewport is reached on the page. This setting can help improve overall initial page load time.
  6. Optionally, in the Checkout express payment container module, you can add a text block module that includes instructions or disclosure information for the express payment section of your site. After you add the module, in the properties pane, enter the desired text under Rich text. You can position the text above or below the payment express modules by selecting the ellipsis (...) in the Text block slot, and then selecting Move up or Move down.
  7. Select Save to save your changes, and then select Finish editing.
  8. Select Publish to publish the fragment.

Configure the cart page for express using PayPal with the Payment module

To set up the cart page for express payment using PayPal in site builder, follow these steps.

  1. Go to Pages.

  3. Under the Main slot, find the container that contains the Cart module.
  4. Under the Cart module, select the Payment express section.
  5. In the Payment express slot, select the ellipsis (...), and then select Add module.
  6. In the Select modules dialog box, select Payment express, and then select OK.
  7. In the payment express module's properties pane, update the module properties as needed:
    1. To rename the module for easier identification in the Outline view, select the pencil symbol next to the module name, enter a new name, and then select the checkmark symbol.
    2. For the Height of the iFrame property, set a height in pixels that meets your page design needs (for example, enter "50" to set a height of 50 pixels).
    3. Set the Supported tender types value to PayPal. This value must match the Supported Tender Types string in the connector set up for the channel.
    4. The Payment style override property is used to apply CSS code styling to the module. Site builder CSS overrides and styles don't apply to the payment express module via this property. This styling doesn't affect the inner-window styles within the payment iframe rendered by the payment service.
    5. You can reference a Custom CSS class name to apply to the payment module, which can be a class name defined in the theme pack. This styling doesn't affect the inner window styles within the payment iframe element rendered by the payment service.
    6. Enabling the Render when module scrolls into view setting is recommended for modules that are hidden below the site user's view when interacting within the page. When Render when module scrolls into view is selected, the payment module renders on the site user's client device once the viewport is reached on the page. This setting can help improve overall initial page load time.
  8. Optionally, in the Checkout express payment container module, you can add a text block module that includes instructions or disclosure information for the express payment section of your site. After you add the module, in the properties pane, enter the desired text under Rich text. You can position the text above or below the payment express modules by selecting the ellipsis (...) in the Text block slot, and then selecting Move up or Move down.
  9. Select Save to save your changes, and then select Finish editing.
  10. Select Publish to publish the page.

You can include up to three supported payment express modules (in other words, three available supported payment options) in the cart page's Payment Express slot.

Modes of delivery

For the payment express module that uses PayPal, the first delivery option returned against the selected shipping address from the PayPal account is preselected. Site users have an opportunity to adjust the shipping address to a different option if they want.

The order in which the delivery methods are displayed in the payment express module is configured on the channel's Modes of delivery page in Commerce headquarters. In headquarters, go to Retail and Commerce > Channels > Online stores, and then select the Retail channel ID value for your store. On the Setup tab of the action pane, select Modes of delivery. The modes of delivery that are listed are displayed in the same order as in the payment express module. Select Manage modes of delivery on the action pane to add or remove modes of delivery for a retail channel or product. For more information about how to set up modes of delivery, see Set up modes of delivery.

The checkout module also uses the delivery options module when modes of delivery are rendered during checkout. For more information, see Delivery options module.

Modes of delivery are displayed as they're added to the Modes of delivery list in the online store.
