The PayPal Client is developed for the commercetools backend environment and is compatible with the commercetools Frontend as well as other JS Frontends.
To use the PayPal integration in your commercetools environment, you should implement the “PayPal commercetools Connector” and the “PayPal commercetools Client”.
The PayPal commercetools Connector allows you to integrate with PayPal in your commercetools platform.
This Connector includes three different applications, and each application covers a different role in using Braintree with commercetools:
Extension App
commercetools Events App
Admin Application
The Extension App mainly focuses on updates for PayPal's payment and customer types and returns the responses in the custom fields based on each entity. In addition, this application handles after-sale processes and vaulting transactions. Also, it receives and processes different webhooks for each transaction from PayPal.
The commercetools Events App also gets and processes all events which are related to customers and payments.
In the Admin Application, you can change settings related to the PayPal integration in both frontend and backend sides applications.
Finally, “PayPal commercetools Client” is a JavaScript package that you can install from the NPM repository and then use in your frontend, for example in the commercetools Frontend. You will find more information about the integration in the documentation.
