larryjam Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hello all, I am build my store using osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2 RC2a I have enabled PayPal Website Payments Standard When a customer orders multiple items from the store the Paypal check out page does not display the items being purchsed. It only displays the store name as the "description" and the total as the "unit price" and a quanity of 1 Example: If the customer buys 10 books @ $5 each and 3 cd's @ $5 each, the paypal checkout displays this as Description = 'Store Name' Unit Price = '$65.00' Quanity = '1 item ' Amount = "$65.00' How can I change it to display the correct product descriptons and itemize the purchase correctly. Any help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help appreciated. I post on the Paypal Developer forum for help, a moderator tried to help me and this was his response. I walked through the checkout and captured the post that is getting sent to PayPal. It is passing it over, as a standard buy now button command. Its adding the item totals together, and just displaying your store name as the item name. This should not be the way that the shopping cart should process orders that I am aware of. Most 3rd party shopping carts, process the orders using the cart upload method, where it sends all the information over itemized. You are going to need to try to get support thought the cart provider or their forums. Apparently the plugin is not working as it should. Is there anyone here who can help me correct this.

Guest Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Have you tried putting "paypal" in your page style? That is the default page style for paypal. It may be missing a style to format the information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryjam Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Have you tried putting "paypal" in your page style? That is the default page style for paypal. It may be missing a style to format the information. Thanks for the suggestion, but it did not work. It still does not display the product details. Could it be that becuause I am not using a secure connection that it does not pass the product details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hwkd Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Thank you Randy, I have it installed and the individual items are being passed and dislayed on the paypal page. Thank you for your help Larry Larry, So you uninstalled PayPal Website Payments Standard and installed http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/2679? hwkd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryjam Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Larry, So you uninstalled PayPal Website Payments Standard and installed http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/2679? hwkd Yes, but I have since changed back, at first glance it worked, the product details was passed to paypal but it did not display the taxes properly. I gather because the contribution is for v2.2MS2 I am using v2.2 RC2a. I decided it was easier to just have the total passed with the taxes and shipping calculated properly.

larryjam Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Use Itemize instead of Aggregate and Paypal will have item details. Satish I did use this option with Paypal IPN, the item details were passed with IPN but the shipping and taxes were not calculated properly. Is it possible to use "Itemized with with Paypal Website Payments Standard? I do not have the option in the admin control panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakedavi Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Well, I'm sure nearly everyone who uses PayPal Standard has this problem.. and I'm sure it's been fixed before. Could somebody please give us some advise? Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
