Sale Method

This method sends a Sale transaction to PayPal.

Syntax

directpayment.sale([callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

There are two types of transactions, Sales and Authorizations. In a Sale, the transaction is automatically captured, and funds are automatically deposited into your PayPal account. However, in the case of an authorization (using the Authorize method), funds are not automatically captured. You must manually capture the funds using the ReAuthCapture class.
