Important Notes
PayPal payments require two steps: creating the order (this mutation) and capturing it after user approval.
Users must be redirected to PayPal's checkout page. This cannot be done in an iframe or popup.
Configure return and cancel URLs in your PayPal settings to handle post-payment redirects.
PayPal orders expire after 3 hours. Users must complete checkout within this timeframe.
Store the PayPal orderId in your database immediately after receiving it. Handle the return URL to capture the order using the captureOrderForPresale mutation. Implement timeout handling for expired orders and provide clear user feedback during the redirect flow.
