Paypal Error concerning the &return field


Guest

Recommended Posts

When I click process to use PayPal to run a transaction, I get forwarded to the home page rather than a transaction. When I remove the &return field in the link, it works fine but of course will not return to osc to continue the transaction.

 

I did change the link from secure.paypal.com where I was getting an error to www.paypal.com like one of the threads mentioned. With the www, I get the PayPal home page.

 

Can anybody troubleshoot this link created by the "Process" button within osc? Here it is:

https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=paypal%40jnjhost.com&item_name=RealBoating&amount=16.09&shipping=10.06&return=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.realboating.com%2Fcatalog%2Fcheckout_process.php%3Fpaypal_return%3Dpaypal%257C0%257C10.06%257CUPS%252BGND%252B1%252BX%252B5%257C%2526

 

I realize the characters are using the numerical references but this is what is spit out of oscommerce.

 

Thanks!

Just so you know, even when the the numbers were replaced with the correct symbols (IE: %2F = /), same problem.

 

Has anybody had this problem?? I can't be the only one.

So is it OSCommerce or my browser changing everything to hex?

Please help!

 

Dear Chris,



Thank you for contacting PayPal.  We apologize for the delay in 

responding to your service request.



Your code is being converted to hex code and is not being handled 

properly.  The second problem is the paypal_return is not a 

recognizable variable are you wanting to use the "cancel_return" 

variable?
