Payment Modual Choices / Paypal

[stjohas]

Hello I am new to the forums, I am trying to get the payment options working for our website. if I ad Check / money order and make it sort order 1 and then ad COD make it sort ofer 2 and then add Paypal and make that sort order 3 I get no payment options available when I try to check out.

 

I can not get paypal to work at all. I have set it up like in the payment opntion and turned on in paypal the return to webist url etc.

 

When I do a check out the only option it gives you is Paypal and its not even an option its just the default. In the payment option part there is nothing, WHen I click on finial it does send you to Paypal webiste but to the main page where you have to log in etc I have tried logging in on one of my other paypal Id's for auctions thinking that it will go to the payment after loging in and nothing.

 

Please help Im stuck on this and our site goes live Monday I wanted another week but the advertising goes live monday and they wont push it back

 

Thank you in advance for all you help!!

 

Respectfully,

 

Ashley

What paypal option are you using? The default one or one of the IPN contributions?

By all accounts the default one's rubbish. I use paypal ipn v2.9 but Harald (the osc originator!) has produced a new (offical) one. http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2679

 

You would probably be best with that!

Thank you I installed that package off the Root so its

/home/daypet/www/php_toolkit/php_paypal/ipn & includes and off ipn is logs set at 777

 

I tried to do payment again and got the same thing now I noticed there is this patch

20 Dec 2004 - Error correction Author: Gerard Schellekens

There's an error in the paypal_ipn.php file.....an accidental linefeed causes an error in the admin tool.

 

Here's a correct one....

 

but I did not see that file name to repalce?? and there is also a dir called _macosx and I dont have a dir on my system called that

 

Thank you again for all your help

i am thinking you need to backup and look at where the store is installed.

is it installed at /home/daypet/www/php_toolkit/ or where is it?

you can not just copy the whole contribution randomly, you need to follow the instructions and place things in the store directory structure.

Thank you for your response, I think I did it right here are the insturctions from the package.

 

INSTALLATION

------------

 

Unzip all contents contained php_toolkit.zip.

 

Upload the PHP ToolKit folder and contents to the document root of your web site. The document root is the main directory containing all of your web site files.

 

Open the config.inc.php file located inside the includes directory and configure the script with your PayPal account settings.

 

If you plan to use the IPN method, the permissions for the "logs" directory must be set to 777. The script is automatically configured to write a comma separated text file containing the IPN response string from PayPal.

 

 

Example Document Root: /home/yoursite/www

Example Installation Directory: /home/yoursite/www/php_toolkit

 

 

Now if you unzip the phptoolkit on your local machine it has many sub directories I created all the subdirectories that it did on my local machine and uploaded all the files to the appropiate dir. The config file looking at it makes calls to certin dirs as well.
