Paypal + codeigniter - notify_url - codeigniter

I am integrating paypal payment feature in my codeigniter app. The notify URL which I pass as a form param to paypal is successfully called, but the time it takes for paypal to call it is about 15-20 mins. Is that normal ? It takes me too much time to debug and test ?

Yes there is way out.

Delay Paypal payment - Braintree APIs

I am developing a website that offers car-washings in all places publicly available through geolocation. However, due to weather instability, bookings can be cancelled at any time; instead of issuing expensive refunds, I would like to charge customers only once the washing has been performed.
I would like to accept Paypal payments and was suggested to use Braintree. Do you know if it is possible to delay charges with Braintree APIs on Paypal accounts?
I use Laravel 5.1.
Thank you
I would recommend using PayPal Preapproval profiles, specifically the Preapproval API to setup the profile, and then you would use the Pay API to process payments using the preapproval key for a given customer.
This PayPal PHP SDK makes all of those API calls very quick and easy, and it's available on Packagist so you can load it up in your composer.json for Laravel and be running in no time.
It has samples and empty templates for you to work with to make the Preapproval and Pay calls.

Google Analytics Issue for Magento to PayPal

So, having discovered that customers are not returning to our website after making their PayPal payments, our Google Analytics reports are wonky as the landing page (success.phtml) which generates the order completion history/goal is never achieved.
Is there a PayPal APi callback to Magento which can generate the correct Google Analytics data? Is there a way to generate GA code at the PayPal end?
Any pointers appreciated!
Thanks, Joe.
a better question for you is why are your customers not reaching the success.phtml?
Go to Website Payments under Profile on the PayPal website. Setup your return URL and enter the succes url there...
If your customers don't return because they close their browser before returning to the shop:
You could remove the script from success.phtml and add a serverside-call to GA using something like serversidegoogleanalytics but you'll have to implement this for all paymentmethods you are accepting... This serversidecall would be done in the success-action within the controller of the paypal module

Payments in booking system

I am trying to figure out how I can use Paypal to process payments in a booking system I am building. I think Paypal has a very messy documentation, and I can't seem to get a good overview over what to do. Firstly, I'm from Norway, and it seems Paypal has some restrictions when it comes to what kind of solution I can choose. These two are the ones that seem in the right corner:
Website Payments Standard
Express Checkout
What I generally wants is to send the user to paypal. If the payment is confirmed, the user should be sent to a confirmation page. As I understand it, that won't be a problem. But how can my system know that the payment is okay? Is there any id being sent back and forth? The system needs to save some information about the payment in the database.
What solution should I choose?
And how can I associate the payment with the current booking?
Paypal sends response "Verified" for successful payments when you use ipn_url, using this response you can check if the payment is ok or not.

For Codeigniter you can use paypal library: this might be of help:

You can't use the PayPal API's through jQuery. This sort of thing must be processed server-side.

Guidance related to Paypal Integration Using Codeigniter

I need some guidance related to PayPal Integration. It's not similar to a regular cart.
After checkout, the site offers a form for payment option. Either it's PayPal, or some other payment process. The form directs to controller after the user submits. An array exists, which contains all item values.
From here on how can I proceed to the Paypal site?
Just to let you know that we've just open-sourced our replacement CodeIgniter PayPal library, called codeigniter-paypal-ipn. (We use this library in production.)
It performs more validation than PayPal_Lib, and it also saves the orders down to your database (using either CI active record or Doctrine).
I hope you find it useful!
There is an existing library for integration with Paypal using CodeIgniter:
http://codeigniter.com/wiki/PayPal_Lib/
I asked the same kind of question here.
And http://www.phpfour.com/blog/2009/02/php-payment-gateway-library-for-paypal-authorizenet-and-2checkout/ is good resource.
Please have a look.
