    'port': '',
    'client_id': 'Your Paypal Client Id',
    'client_secret': 'Your Paypal Client Secret'
  }

Basic

Format is Meteor.Paypal.*transaction_type*({ {/*card data*/}, {/*transaction data*/}, function(err, res){...})

  Meteor.Paypal.authorize({
      name: 'Buster Bluth',
      number: '4111111111111111',
      type: 'visa',
      cvv2: '123',
      expire_year: '2015',
      expire_month: '01'
    },
    {
      total: '100.10',
      currency: 'USD'
    },
    function(error, results){
      if(error)
        //Deal with Error
      else
        //results contains:
        //  saved (true or false)
        //  if false: "error" contains the reasons for failure
        //  if true: "payment" contains the transaction information
    });

For information on the payment object returned see Paypal's Payment Option Documentation

Transaction types are: Meteor.Paypal.authorize and Meteor.Paypal.purchase for the difference, see Paypal's Documentation

Extras

Include {{> paypalCreditCardForm }} in a template. In the template's javascript file, include:

  Template.paypalCreditCardForm.events({
    'submit #paypal-payment-form': function(evt, tmp){
      evt.preventDefault();
      
      var card_data = Template.paypalCreditCardForm.card_data();
      
      //Probably a good idea to disable the submit button here to prevent multiple submissions.
      
      Meteor.Paypal.purchase(card_data, {total: '100.50', currency: 'USD'}, function(err, results){
        if (err) console.error(err);
        else console.log(results);
      });
    }
  });
