User Property

User name for communicating with Paypal.

Syntax

 directpayment.getUser([callback])
 directpayment.setUser( user, [callback])

Default Value

""

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 the getUser([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

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

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setUser([callback]) 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

This property is required to post messages to the PayPal URL. This should not be the same username as your PayPal account login, but rather the name of the API service you've created in your account. If you allow PayPal to auto-generate the name, it is usually the first part of your email address plus "_api1." plus the last part of your email address. For instance, a PayPal Id of test@teststore.com would generate a user name test_api1.teststore.com.
