Token Property

This property is used to reference a specific Express Checkout transaction in the PayPal network.

Syntax

 recurringpayments.getToken([callback])
 recurringpayments.setToken( token, [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 getToken([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 setToken([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

When CreateProfile is called, PayPal requires either this property to be set to a valid ResponseToken returned by the SetCheckout method of Express Checkout or a valid credit card to be set through the Card property.

This token expires after three hours.
