api - Paypal Donations - "Gift Aid" -


implementing paypal uk based ngo selling services plus accepting donations.

  1. i using rest api selling services working use same api donation well. handle gift aids well. dont see payment type option within api.

  2. if use standard donation button, how transaction id , other values can save them in system.

there no real technical difference between donations , payments goods , services. (the donations button few cosmetic differences on top of regular website payments standard or ec payment experience.) rest not yet feature rich older payment flows , may not have same cosmetic tweaks available, can use either rest or classic api both services , donations.

i recommend not using both rest , classic on site; encounter many annoyances due differences in underlying models. not initial payment integration different; payment ids different, apis can use manage payment lifecycle different etc.

as 1 such example, answer question #2 cannot rest-style payment ids non-rest transactions. classic transaction ids in payment redirect or doec api response, depending upon integration use. classic payment ids if integrate ipns (whereas rest integrate webhooks... differences keep coming!).
