Recurly PayPal does not function in Facebook's in-app browser

[bark-pcloeter]

It is not possible to utilize PayPal in Facebook's browser, which is noted in your documentation here:

Checking out via Facebook's in-app browser is not currently supported. This is due to Facebook's browser not supporting tabbed browsing, which prevents the PayPal checkout flow from displaying correctly.

Can you get a fix for this on your roadmap as soon as possible? Non-recurly PayPal functionality works as expected there, and the alternative is a custom integration (which is not advised by Recurly).

Hey @bark-pcloeter, thanks for the issue! We have added support for this functionality to the PayPal roadmap as they have fixed their support for in-app browsers.

The Recurly API supports specifying the billing_info.paypal_billing_agreement_id on the various purchase calls, so while this enhancement works its way through the backlog, I would recommend integrating with PayPal directly and sending that agreement ID to complete the flow.

Normally it is not advised to have the custom integration with the payment provider where there is no direct API support for the resulting payment token (like Apple/Google Pay).
