Paypal

Avarda will display Paypal as a payment option in the checkout, when used the end customer is redirected back to partner page were the purchase is completed using the partner’s own integration towards PayPal.

3. Provide redirectUrl in Checkout 3.0 initialization

<script>
  var handleByMerchantCallback = function(avardaCheckoutInstance) {
    console.log("Handle external payment here");

    ...

    // Unmount Checkout from page when external payment is handled
    avardaCheckoutInstance.unmount();
  }

  window.avardaCheckoutInit({
    ...
    "handleByMerchantCallback": handleByMerchantCallback,
    "redirectUrl": "www.mytesteshop.com/"
    ...
  });
</script>

PayPal payment panel should be displayed, if PayPal is enabled in Partner Onboarding.
