im not getting a payer_id retruned about paypal-node-sdk HOT 3 CLOSED

@iancrowther If you would not mind elaborating more, what stage are you needing the payer_id?

1. If you were trying to accept a payment via paypal, you direct the user to the approval_url on PayPal so that user can approve the payment. After the user approves the payment, PayPal redirects the user back to the return_url you specified, and appends the payer ID in return url as PayerID. The documentation for the requests are at

https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/integration/web/accept-paypal-payment/#execute-the-payment

2. If you are storing a credit card in vault for secure storage and charging later, you can include a unique payer_id in the request. The docs are at

https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/integration/direct/store-a-credit-card/

from paypal-node-sdk.

So it works fine with live payments.

The issue I was having was with the sandbox. I guess my redirect Urls were
wrong

Anyhow, it's alive so we can close the bug.
