Paypal authorize payment link using paypal generated paykey

[Mat Anthony]

Hi All,

I'm using paypals adaptive api's. I use the following link within sandbox (i.e. development) to redirect
to paypal site from my site, so that users can log into paypal and be authenticated and then authorize payment to my site.
I would like to use the paypals live production connection, but I cant find it on the internet (or on the paypal site), had no
response from paypal via emails.

https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ap-payment&paykey=

Can anybody help

Mat

Just a wild guess, but it's probably the same url, without the sandbox subdomain?

A quick Google search came up with this: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/endpoints/

I don't understand why you're trying to access the cgi folder on paypal? Use one of the REST APIs instead.

Hi Stephan,
that was a quick response

Just found the following link:-
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/adaptive-payments/integration-guide/APCommands/

You were spot on
From development:-
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ap-payment&paykey=
To production:-
_ap-payment Command
The sender can log in to paypal.com and approve a payment when you redirect the sender's browser to paypal.com with the _ap-payment command.
Redirect to PayPal using the _ap-payment command

Thanks
