Due to the high demand in requests for PayPal integration in some of the projects that I am working on, I decided to build a component package. This package is built on the PHP Laravel framework.

The package can be found on github https://github.com/dbrax/paypal-laravel.

Here is a short documentation of how to install and use the package:
