Angell EYE Launches PayPal Plugin for FileMaker
We have recently finished version 1.0 of the PayPal plugin for FileMaker which makes it possible to interact directly with PayPal’s web service API’s via FileMaker custom functions. See the documentation page for more details.
Not only does it finally make this possible for FileMaker developers, but it’s extremely simple to use. Here’s a quick overview video:
Check back soon for more in depth videos and documentation on how to use this plugin to integrate PayPal directly into your FileMaker solutions!
This is definitely the best developed PayPal plugin for FileMaker I have ever come across that will handle direct payments. I was able to start processing credit cards directly from my FileMaker solution within minutes. Thanks!!!
You make it sound easy. Can’t wait to try it out.
It is pretty simple. I’m still working on better documentation and more videos. I’ve gotten a few more up already you can take a look at here: http://www.angelleye.com/category/programming-services/filemaker-custom-programming-services/
Feel free to contact me directly for some help if you need, too.
I need custom development.
Need to search 4 times an hour for any paypal incoming and outgoing payments and store in db. If the record is a payment we made for eBay item will search for item specific info.
Please contact asap.
Thank you
Hi Dustin,
For incoming payments you might be interested in utilizing my PHP IPN solution. You can install it on your web server and configure it with your PayPal account very quickly and easily. Then every transaction that hits your PayPal account, be it a payment, a refund, dispute, etc. will be logged in your MySQL database in real-time.
Then you can attach your MySQL database to FileMaker using ESS (external SQL sources) and either create layouts based on the MySQL data or sync the MySQL data with your FileMaker tables. Whatever works best for you.
Unfortunately, for outgoing payments IPN does not get triggered (unless you happen to be working with MassPay). Your only option there is to use eBay’s GetMyeBayBuying or GetItemTransactions API’s directly. I don’t have functions for FileMaker to work directly with eBay as of yet, though.
Very nice. Does this work in IWP ?
I haven’t tested that specifically but the plugin creates functions in FM just like any other function, so I’m guessing it would be just fine. I can’t guarantee it, though.
According to their website, SmartPill PlugIn has been tested in CWP and IWP. So I guest it should work. I will try it and see . Thank you
