Paypal - not receiving order amount

[SkyPattie]

When trying to process a Paypal order, oscommerce will send the order to paypal, yet the amount to be processed remains at "0". What may cause this?

The module seems to be installed correctly and the Paypal email used is th right one.

 

Any idea's?

I am having a similar problem. Instead of coming up with the proper total for the purchase it leaves the total to be entered by the customer. Quite annoying but not sure how to correct the problem. Would appreciate any solutions to the problem

Maybe find the support thread for the version of paypal that you are using and post your query there.

The Paypal version is the one that comes with the latest download of oscommerce - no additions or changes.

 

Need to know why it's not passing the total order amount to Paypal.

 

If this issue has already been discussed, could you please provide the thread?

 

Thanks

Faiir enough response. I can't find the support thread for the default paypal payment module either.

 

Perhaps the guys that monitor the threads can provide the link. I know that when I was setting up my site that I felt that the default one was not sufficient.

 

I know nothing abouut the default module. One should assume that it works. The problem maybe on the paypal side. You would need to set up your profile in paypal to do what you want.

 

I have installed the contrib PayPal_Shopping_Cart_IPN v 3.15, and will be happy to help you with that.

The problem i have is that the customer pays with paypal but the process order never creates..., the only way i know there was a transaction is because paypal's notification, what can i do in this case...??

Try adding the following line to your /includes/payment/paypal.php file

 

Find the following:

 

$process_button_string = tep_draw_hidden_field('cmd', '_xclick') .

tep_draw_hidden_field('business', MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_ID) .

tep_draw_hidden_field('item_name', STORE_NAME) .

tep_draw_hidden_field('amount', number_format(($order->info['total'] - $order->info['shipping_cost']) * $currencies->get_value($my_currency), $currencies->get_decimal_places($my_currency))) .

tep_draw_hidden_field('shipping', number_format($order->info['shipping_cost'] * $currencies->get_value($my_currency), $currencies->get_decimal_places($my_currency))) .

tep_draw_hidden_field('currency_code', $my_currency) .

tep_draw_hidden_field('return', tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PROCESS, '', 'SSL')) .

///// insert the following

tep_draw_hidden_field('rm', 2) .

/////

tep_draw_hidden_field('cancel_return', tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PAYMENT, '', 'SSL'));

 

This is supposed to return the customer back to your site and the order should get stored.

 

Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

 

Good luck

Some other people have been on the forums trying to get the default osc paypal working. There does not seem to be a support thread for it.

 

I have suggested to them that install one of the paypal contributions and seek support in the appropriate thread. Reading some of the support threads also gives you an indication of how difficult the contrib is to install, and how much support there is for it.

 

You need a paypal account, I just have the basic one.

 

Some of the PayPal contribs are here:

 

http://www.oscommerce.com/community?contri...pn&category=all

 

The one I installed is PayPal_Shopping_Cart_IPN v3.15 and I have not updated it except for file/folder misstaken (from memeory)

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...arch,paypal+ipn

 

 

If you go with this one, just follow the install instuctions for the contrib. Set up your profile at paypal, and that is it. You do not need APIs, or other code from paypal.

 

The support forum for it is here

Had the same problem, and scoured the forum for a solution. Finally came upon this post:
