I'm using paypal sandbox. In my project after the customer pays I have to store the official receipt number to the database. So I created a servlet that serves as my return URL, and their I would like to retrieve the OR number based on the transaction id. I am using the standard payment method with a buynow button. Here is my code for getting the transaction details.
HttpClient client = HttpClients.createDefault();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost("https://api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com/nvp");
List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<>();
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("METHOD","GetTransactionDetails"));
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("VERSION","124.0"));
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("USER", "morbidcode666_api1.gmail.com"));
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("PWD","L66QPRP2RTRB9NEA"));
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("SIGNATURE", "AUT-r5lylj2D9Bdu1rj5Xzp05w8eAMod08fTK-pwniTNTHScwi4w9jdh"));
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("TRANSACTIONID",request.getParameter("tx")));
post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params, "UTF-8"));
HttpResponse postresponse = client.execute(post);
HttpEntity entity = postresponse.getEntity();
System.out.println(EntityUtils.toString(entity));
According to https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/merchant/GetTransactionDetails_API_Operation_NVP/,
RECEIPTID - Receipt identification number
so I think this should be exactly what I'm looking for, but it's not in the response. Here is the response.
