//$order = $service->getOrder();

when we set the ->setPaymentMethod('paypal_express') ..this code doest work. It throws exceptions

This is tested code and it should work. Only in payment gateway, you need to confirm your credit card information receiving properly. Because of Merchant payment gateway and PayPal payment gateway credit card information receiving technic not same.
Debug here
` /**

* card number if available.
*/
public function getPaymentInfo( $customer_id=0 ) {
if( $this->_debug ) Mage::log('getPaymentInfo('.$customer_id.')', null, 'firstdata.log');
