The Gist of This Talk: PayPal Access


What We’re Going to Cover

What is user identity?

How can you use grouping to personalize?

How do you pick the right identity tool?

How does PayPal Access help?


Identity: It’s Not Facebook


Identity: It’s Not BrowserID


Identity: It’s Not Even PayPal


Identity: Login is Just the Tool


Identity: It’s Human Behavior


Identity: Statistics From User Browsing Data

Are you tracking what a user is viewing?

Are you categorizing your users?

Are you incentivizing your users?


Identity: The Different Identity Models

Anonymous
Identity



Perceived
Identity



True (Verified)
Identity


What Have We Learned Thus Far?

Identity is more than just a login


Grouping: Users Get Confused


Grouping: Find People With Like Interests


Grouping: Recommended Products




Grouping provides insight into users


Identity Tools: Proprietary or Open?

23 % of customers abandoned carts when
asked to register. (Forrester)

45 % left a site when they couldn’t remember
their password. (Blue Inc)


Identity Tools: It’s Simpler Than You Think

Do you sell anything?

What kind of raw user data do you need?

In what ways do you want to personalize
your product with identity?

"addresses":[{
"state":"CA”,
"street1":"1339 moonlight way”,
"city":"New York",
"zip":"92345”
}],
"emails”:["john_smith22@yahoo.com"],
"firstName":"John",
"lastName":"Smith",
"telephoneNumber":"2123935554”
}


Identity Tools: Personalization





The right tool should work for your needs


PayPal Access: The Core Principals



The right tool should work for your needs


PayPal Access: Implementation Example

• Create an application at devportal.x.com.

• Forward the user to PayPal to authenticate.

• Exchange the response code for an access
token.

• Use the access token to collect user data.


PayPal Access: The Common Code

<?php
define('KEY', 'YOUR APPLICATION ID');
define('SECRET', 'YOUR APPLICATION SECRET');

define('CALLBACK_URL', 'YOUR CALLBACK PATH - TO COMPLETE.PHP');
define('AUTH_ENDPOINT', 'https://identity.x.com/xidentity/resources/authorize');
define('TOKEN_ENDPOINT', 'https://identity.x.com/xidentity/oauthtokenservice');
define('USER_ENDPOINT', 'https://identity.x.com/xidentity/resources/profile/me');

function run_curl($url, $method = 'GET', $postvals = null){ ... }
?>

PayPal Access: Forwarding for Login

<?php
require_once "common.php";

$auth_url = sprintf(
"%s?scope=%s&response_type=code&redirect_uri=%s&client_id=%s",
AUTHORIZATION_ENDPOINT,
urlencode("https://identity.x.com/xidentity/resources/profile/me"),
urlencode(CALLBACK_URL),
KEY);

//forward user to PayPal auth page
header("Location: $auth_url");
?>

PayPal Access: Obtaining the Access Token
<?php
require_once "common.php";

//capture code from auth
$code = $_GET["code"];

//construct POST object for access token fetch request
$postvals =
sprintf("client_id=%s&client_secret=%s&grant_type=authorization_code&
code=%s&redirect_uri=%s",
KEY,
SECRET,
$code,
urlencode(CALLBACK_URL));

//get JSON access token object
$token = json_decode(run_curl(ACCESS_TOKEN_ENDPOINT, 'POST',
$postvals));

PayPal Access: Using the Access Token

//construct URI to fetch profile information for current user
$profile_url = sprintf("%s?oauth_token=%s",
PROFILE_ENDPOINT, $token->access_token);

//fetch profile of current user
$profile = run_curl($profile_url);

var_dump($profile);
?>
