PayPal integration guidance, code examples, and best practices. Use for checkout, card fields, BNPL, Pay Later, Venmo, subscriptions, invoicing, disputes, payouts, webhooks, APMs, JS SDK v5, JS SDK v6, createInstance, payment sessions, web components, Fastlane, payment links, donations, 3D Secure, vaulting, iDEAL, bank redirects, agentic commerce, or any PayPal architecture decision or code generation question.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add paypal/ai-toolkit/paypal-best-practices@sha256:feb4c9771d170b5e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
