Paypal payments

The paypal payment object and its fields

PayPal payments can be created and associated with an order in a few steps:
Create a Paypal payment, passing a valid return_url and cancel_url
Get the approval_url from the response
Redirect the customer to the approval URL
Get the paypal_payer_id from the return url parameters
Update the PayPal payment with the payer ID
PayPal payments are one-time payment sources and cannot be saved in customer wallets.
