Guest Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Hi Everyone I'm very new to OsCommerce and i have just set up my first osCommerce shop. When you pay for an item with Paypal it puts the item name as the name of the shop. Is there anyway to change this so that it puts the actual items ordered in the Paypal basket? Sorry if this has already been covered a million times, i did have a search but couldn't find a previous post on it. Any help would be great.

I have messed around with the Paypal.php file which as standard reads "tep_draw_hidden_field('item_name', STORE_NAME) ." I've tried changin STORE_NAME with PRODUCTS_NAME and PRODUCTS_ID, both of which create a blank text box during paypal so the buyer can enter whatever item title they like.. not so useful. Any help would be greatly appreciated?! Thanks mic

In your admin section you must have payment set to "aggregate", so as Paypal do not know what you have sold they simply display the vendors name instead. If you set this to "per item" PayPal will show the individual purchases that make up the total amount. I do believe, however, this can have some effects. See the read me file in the official osComm "PayPal IPN Contribution V1.3" - sorry can't give you a link wouldn't know how. Ann.

Ann. hey Ann, Thanks a lot for your response, I'm pretty sure I had tried this at some point but this caused another problem somewhere down the line! I will give this another shot over the next couple days and, fingers crossed, it will work :) Thanks again, mic :rolleyes:

However i have also now installed PayPal IPN Contribution V1.3 which as you say doesn't work with "per item". Not to worry, it is something i shall have to live with. Maybe someone in the future will update it so it works properly with the "per item" option. Cheers

Cheers Yes, I too have tried doing it as 'per item' with the PayPal IPN... it works as long as your customer purchases one item, but after 2 or more items, things get weird. Sometimes shipping & taxes don't show up or get totaled. Its a real pain. It would be great if somebody could figure out how to pass the 'per item' so it passes to PayPal correctly, especially when using the PP IPN.
