I was testing the PayPal Express payment module and encountered some issues when using German language address or names or product names with special characters in it. These encoding issues have been fix by the community but they are spread around in multiple topics so I thought it might be helpful for others to have all fixes in one place. PayPal Account Setting Go to "My Account" -> "Profile" -> "My selling tools" -> "PayPal button language encoding" Then setup Your website's language: Western European Languages (including English) click the "more options" button and set Encoding to UTF-8. Below where it says "Do you want to use the same encoding for data sent from PayPal to you (e.g., IPN, downloadable logs, emails)?" tick the "Yes" checkbox. Click "Save" and logout of your PayPal account. Gergely added nice images that explain it visually how to do it. http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/397700-utf-8-in-payments-standard/?p=1702922 Encoding fix This fix is by courtesy of @@raiwa he gave the key to the solution posted then later by @@HansTatt. Thanks guys! :thumbsup: Inside the ext/modules/payment/paypal/express.php file look for this code $item_params['L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NAME' . $line_item_no] = $product['name']; and replace with $item_params['L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NAME' . $line_item_no] = utf8_decode($product['name']); then look for this code $params['PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTONAME'] = $order->delivery['firstname'] . ' ' . $order->delivery['lastname']; $params['PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOSTREET'] = $order->delivery['street_address']; $params['PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOCITY'] = $order->delivery['city']; $params['PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOSTATE'] = tep_get_zone_code($order->delivery['country']['id'], $order->delivery['zone_id'], $order->delivery['state']); $params['PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOCOUNTRYCODE'] = $order->delivery['country']['iso_code_2']; $params['PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOZIP'] = $order->delivery['postcode']; and replace with this $params['PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTONAME'] = utf8_decode($order->delivery['firstname']) . ' ' . utf8_decode($order->delivery['lastname']); $params['PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOSTREET'] = utf8_decode($order->delivery['street_address']); $params['PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOCITY'] = utf8_decode($order->delivery['city']); $params['PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOSTATE'] = tep_get_zone_code($order->delivery['country']['id'], $order->delivery['zone_id'], $order->delivery['state']); $params['PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOCOUNTRYCODE'] = $order->delivery['country']['iso_code_2']; $params['PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOZIP'] = $order->delivery['postcode']; Reference Topic: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/397165-paypal-standard-not-emptying-basket/?p=1714514 That's it.
