ResponseToken Property

The time-stamped token value.

Syntax

expresscheckoutcontrol.ResponseToken

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property is returned after all three kinds of Express Checkout requests: SetCheckout. GetCheckoutDetails, and CheckoutPayment. This token is used to reference a specific transaction in the PayPal network.

This value is used for several things:

• After calling the SetCheckout method, the value of this property should be appended to the PayPal login page, located here: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&token=. The customer's browser should then be redirected to this location. This starts the PayPal payment process.
• After the customer successfully pays, this token is appended as a query string to the value sent in the ReturnURL property. The customer is redirected to this URL (which should reside on your server).
• You must then pass this value in the Token parameter of the GetCheckoutDetails method to continue the transaction.
• The Token property must be set with this value before calling CheckoutPayment.

This token expires after three hours.

This property is read-only.
