Need help with JavaScript code

[Hi P]

Original Paypal Implementation

 

Spoiler

<script>
  paypal.Buttons({
    
  	createOrder: function(data, actions) {
      
      return actions.order.create({
        purchase_units: [{
          amount: {
            value: '0.01'
          }
        }]
      });
    },
  
    onApprove: function(data, actions) {
      
      return actions.order.capture().then(function(details) {
        alert('Transaction completed by ' + details.payer.name.given_name);
        
        // Call your server to save the transaction
        return fetch('/paypal-transaction-complete', {
          method: 'post',
          headers: {
            'content-type': 'application/json'
          },
          body: JSON.stringify({
            orderID: data.orderID
          })
        });
      });
    }
  
  }).render('#paypal-button-container');
</script>

 

 

Disclaimer: I don't know JavaScript at all

 

We are using Codeigniter (PHP) at work, handling the transactions through Paypal, everything is done and working.

 

However, I had been sending the info via GET for testing purposes, but now that everything is working it has to be done through POST.

<script>                                
	paypal.Buttons({
		createOrder: function(data, actions) {
                                                
		return actions.order.create({
			purchase_units: [{
				amount: {
				value: 'PLACEHOLDER'
				},
				description: 'PLACEHOLDER'
			}]
		});
		},

  		//		I just need to send: data.orderID, that's all		//
		onApprove: function(data, actions) {
			return actions.order.capture().then(function(details) {

				//		THIS IS SENDING IT THROUGH GET		//
				window.location="<?php echo base_url() ?>Paypal/index/"+data.orderID;
			});
		}

	}).render('#paypal-button-container');
</script>

 

 

What do I do to send it via POST? upon doing a quick google search I have found that it's not possible by using window.location

 

Thank you

Not to be a dick, but since this is for a professional environment, wouldn't you want to pay for someone to take care of this? So you have some garantuees.
Playing with money even tho Paypal sets the door open wide for mis-use.
Just a friendly warning.
Goodluck finding a solution!

No worries, everything related to the processing is on a different code, already working

 

That code from my post is just the button, nothing else, all I have to do is send that data.orderID through post, but I don't know how

Step 6.1 of link you posted shows how to send via post.

 

Replace /paypal-transaction-complete with the your paypal processing uri to on this line

return fetch('/paypal-transaction-complete', {

Oh my god, now it worked!

 

I swear I had tried that before, chances are I entered an incorrect path
