# Get Started

In this chapter we are going to setup payum package and do simple purchase using paypal express checkout. Look at sandbox to find more examples.

### Installation

```bash
php composer.phar require payum/payum-silex-provider payum/xxx
```

{% hint style="info" %}
***Note**: Where **payum/xxx** is a payum package, for example it could be **payum/paypal-express-checkout-nvp**. Look at* [*supported gateways*](/payum/supported-gateways.md) *to find out what you can use.*
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
***Note**: Use **payum/payum** if you want to install all gateways at once.*
{% endhint %}

Now you have all codes prepared and ready to be used.

### Configuration

First add PayumProvider to your application:

```php
<?php
//payum provider requires some other providers to be registered.
$app->register(new \Silex\Provider\UrlGeneratorServiceProvider());
$app->register(new \Silex\Provider\FormServiceProvider());
$app->register(new \Silex\Provider\TranslationServiceProvider());
$app->register(new \Silex\Provider\TwigServiceProvider());
$app->register(new \Silex\Provider\ValidatorServiceProvider());
$app->register(new \Silex\Provider\ServiceControllerServiceProvider());

$app->register(new \Payum\Silex\PayumProvider());
```

Now you can configure the gateway gateway and the storages:

```php
<?php
use Payum\Core\Storage\FilesystemStorage;

$app['payum.security.token_storage'] = $app->share(function($app) {
    return new FilesystemStorage('/path/to/storage', 'Payum\Core\Model\Token', 'hash'),
});

$app['payum.gateways'] = $app->share($app->extend('payum.gateways', function ($gateways) use ($app) {
    $paypalExpressCheckoutGatewayFactory = new \Payum\Paypal\ExpressCheckout\Nvp\PaypalExpressCheckoutGatewayFactory();

    $gateways['paypal_ec'] = $paypalExpressCheckoutGatewayFactory->create(array(
        'username' => 'EDIT_ME',
        'password' => 'EDIT_ME',
        'signature' => 'EDIT_ME',
        'sandbox' => true
    ));
    
    return $gateways;
});

$app['payum.storages'] = $app->share($app->extend('payum.storages', function ($storages) use ($app) {
    $storages['Payum\Core\Model\Payment'] = new FilesystemStorage('path/to/storage', 'Payum\Core\Model\Payment');
    
    return $storages;
});
```

### Prepare payment

Lets create a controller where we prepare the payment details.

```php
<?php
class PaymentController
{
    protected $app;

    public function __constructor(Application $app)
    {
        $this->app = $app;
    }

	public function preparePaypalAction()
	{
        $storage = $this->app['payum']->getStorage('Payum\Core\Model\Payment');

        $payment = $storage->create();
        $payment->setTotalAmount(123);
        $payment->setCurrencyCode('USD');
        $storage->update($details);

        $captureToken = $this->app['payum.security.token_factory']->createCaptureToken('paypal_ec', $payment, 'payment_done');

        return new RedirectResponse($captureToken->getTargetUrl());
	}
}
```

Here's you may want to modify a `payment_done` route. It is a controller where the a payer will be redirected after the payment is done, whenever it is success failed or pending. Read a [dedicated chapter](/payum/silex/payment-done-controller.md) about how the payment done controller may look like.
