Enable In-Context Checkout
A basic PayPal Checkout integration assumes that you are sending the API calls from your own server using a <form> or <a>. The following integration script with setup must be loaded after the <form> or <a> tags.
<script type="text/javascript">
window.paypalCheckoutReady = function () {
paypal.checkout.setup('Your merchant email id', {
container: 'myContainer', //{String|HTMLElement|Array} where you want the PayPal button to reside
environment: 'sandbox' //or 'production' depending on your environment
});
};
</script>
<script src="//www.paypalobjects.com/api/checkout.js" async></script>
You must have Business-Pro enabled for DoDirectPayment API. You can do this by upgrading your Sandbox seller account to Business-Pro.
NOTE: It is a good practice to handle funding source error with error-code 10486. For more information, refer to the 10486 error handling link.
