PayPal

[glamourfish]

Hey all...can anybody please steer me in the correct direct for adding PayPal to my shopping cart....There seems to be so many options & I am not sure which one will be best to use.

 

thx...

Apparently, this is the one to use: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...arch,paypal+ipn

 

I'm about to install it myself, I currently have an older IPN module installed.

Thanks Peter...That looks like the one I'll need! I hope I can do this...I really seem to suck at following instructions :(

[♥peterpil19]

No problemo (as Arnie says)!

 

It has clear instructions, but follow them carefully and use the checklist thoughtfully incorporated into the readme document.

 

Don't forget to Backup!

The PayPal IPN module is one of the easiest mods to install as it is all new files (no edits to existing ones). Just copy them up to the appropriate directories on your webserer and that's it. Installing from the Admin tool is a one click thing and the values to be filled in are very straightforward.

Peter...do i need to instal something before this one?

[glamourfish]

Thanks Jason...I installed that now...tell does the SSL need to be active for this to work.

Sorry I am not always 100 % sure with tech terms & all that jazz!

no - if you choose PayPal then you go off to the PayPal site and enter your details there so you don't really need SSL.

I prefer this method and no addons to install..

 

you must set you paypal account info in osCom..

 

then you must goto paypal..

 

in your profile on paypal..

 

you will find this link

 

( Website Payment Preferences )

 

you set auto return to your site..

 

/checkout_confirmation.php page..

 

and your done..

 

Hope that clears up all the un-needed paypal addons..

Below that line where I can set auto return to my site on true, there is another line with (I am using the German Paypal) something like: do you want to add the paypal data to your site after a customer is returned to your site with auto return.

 

This default is false, but does it needs to be set to true ?

 

Kind regards,

I am trying to add this contrib, but when I go to run the sql file I get the following error:

What am I doing wrong? This is the first payment module I have tried to install. Thanx for any help!

vmtent- it's telling you that the field you're adding already exists.

 

The Paypal IPN that Jason posted a link to doesn't require any database entries. It's 3 clicks and you're done. I recommend going with that one anyway.

 

club69-

 

you set auto return to your site..

 

/checkout_confirmation.php page..

 

it's checkout_process.php :thumbsup:

 

...but the IPN that Jason posted a link to will work w/o settting ANYTHING at Paypal.
