I've been grappling with an issue while trying to incorporate PayPal buttons into my Django website. Every time I attempt to do so, the PayPal popup window shows up as about:blank#blocked. In the console, I can see the following error:
popup_open_error_iframe_fallback
{err: 'n: Can not open popup window - blocked\n at Ie (…owser=false&allowBillingPayments=true:1342:297830', timestamp: '1644780862712', referer: 'www.sandbox.paypal.com', sdkCorrelationID: 'f12370135a997', sessionID: 'uid_d36969c1b2_mtk6mja6mzy', …}
The puzzling part is that this problem doesn't occur if I simply open the HTML file in a browser on its own... Here's how the script appears:
<!-- Set up a container element for the button -->
<div id="paypal-button-container" class='text-center mt-2'></div>
<!-- Include the PayPal JavaScript SDK -->
<script src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=blahblahmyid¤cy=EUR"></script>
<script>
// Render the PayPal button into #paypal-button-container
paypal.Buttons({
locale: 'it_IT',
style: {
color: 'gold',
shape: 'rect',
layout: 'vertical',
label: 'pay'
},
// Set up the transaction
createOrder: function(data, actions) {
return actions.order.create({
purchase_units: [{
amount: {
value: '88.44'
}
}]
});
},
// Finalize the transaction
onApprove: function(data, actions) {
return actions.order.capture().then(function(orderData) {
// Successful capture! For demo purposes:
console.log('Capture result', orderData, JSON.stringify(orderData, null, 2));
var transaction = orderData.purchase_units[0].payments.captures[0];
alert('Transaction '+ transaction.status + ': ' + transaction.id + '\n\nSee console for all available details');
// Replace the above to show a success message within this page, e.g.
// const element = document.getElementById('paypal-button-container');
// element.innerHTML = '';
// element.innerHTML = '<h3>Thank you for your payment!</h3>';
// Or go to another URL: actions.redirect('thank_you.html');
});
}
}).render('#paypal-button-container');
</script>
What could be causing this issue? It's perplexing.
