Wepay整合

Question

I'm trying to create a simple checkout page with wepay and my checkout code (taken from the SDK sample) works great for the owner (me) when I'm signed in, but when logged in as a different user who hasn't created the account (under theirs?) it says the account is invalid or does not belong to the user.

So how are new logged in users supposed to pay to the account (mine), in other words make payments?

Here is the code for reference. The account_id doesn't work for new logged in users because they haven't created it.

$wepay = new WePay($_SESSION['wepay_access_token']);

$checkout = $wepay->request('checkout/create', array(
    'account_id' => 501999810,
    'amount' => 1.00,
    'currency'=> 'USD',
    'short_description'=> 'Selling 42 Pens',
    'type'=> 'goods'
));

Maybe I have something completely off, but that account_id is where I want to receive payments?

Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Once you register the user, you have to create an actual merchant account by calling /account/create.

Once you have the user's access token, you can call /account/create with the user's access token and the relevant info to actually attach an account to the user. The /account/create call will return an account_id. That account_id is the one you use in the /checkout/create call.

So until you create an account via /account/create the user cannot accept payments.
