papyal_link is null

[snax4a]

Hello when doing expressCheckout my paypal_link is null i FIlled in api username, api password and api secret in .env file but dont know what to fill in api certificate so i left this blank

So im getting: Object of class Illuminate\Routing\Redirector could not be converted to string Im using sandbox

i noticed that if i set validate_ssl in paypal.php it works i mean it redirects me to paypal, when i should use this validate_ssl? only on production where i have SSL installed?

I saw that but it still cant help me i set up api credentials from my business paypal sandbox account i cloned your demo project and i get this error. You guys only redirect to other issues but there is no answer, i read all of them. Thats how looks my .env file PAYPAL_SANDBOX_API_USERNAME=csgolombard-facilitator-1_api1.gmail.com PAYPAL_SANDBOX_API_PASSWORD=D6DRXKVF7QQRFL4D PAYPAL_SANDBOX_API_SECRET=At-lD.ebJxipTWa3Fr92PQtDSOt8ApuMSnj.-edcwDL79wqIDj3q1PGp

i also tried with your demo api credentials, the same error, maybe its some problem with my OS i use windows

Hi everyone,

I currently develop web-app that requires online payment. As I research about Paypal integration in Laravel I saw this laravel plugin for processing payments through PayPal. But after I clone it I had encounter the same issue.

I tried dd($response) , I get this response

array:3 [▼ "type" => "error" "message" => "" "paypal_link" => null ]

To solve the issue I changed some configuration at paypal.php I add validate_ssl => false,

Note: Make sure that the following are consider before you apply the validate_ssl

• Correct API credentials.

• Change Invoice_prefix (For unique Invoice, you can change it to paypal.php) _Also note about PAYPAL_SANDBOX_APISECRET Instead of putting API Secret , Put the Signature

I hope it will help you. Thanks
