Paypal Express Checkout issue

[Alex Tinlin]

Anyone know how to get round this particular problem I have encountered? When I checked the API credentials I got the following message:Failure!

The PayPal Express Checkout credentials are not set up correctly for live production use.

array(0) {

}

have you setup the PayPal Express access using the API credentials from PayPal website? or just enetered email and password? as it's different type of access.

Yes, I'm not that daft. The API credentials have not changed ever since I set the shop up, this problem started over a week ago, and I have re-entered the API stuff into the admin area of my store, but still the same old story...

Did you set the module to SALE and not authorization? Did you take the module out of 'sandbox' mode ?

Yep, set to SALE, still no joy :sweating:

Unfortunately, I don't have any other suggestions. That should resolve the issue.

Ok, someone must know how to resolve this issue, it's getting ridiculous now.!

I'm with you Alex. I have the same issue & no resolution. I'm about ready to ditch oscommerce, very UNsupported & go with ZenCart as it seems oscommerce is all but dead in the water..

a similar problem happened with a friend where his paypal account required re-verification and he hadn't noticed.

 

He had been using it successfully for nearly a year before he had the problem.

 

He ended up creating new api signature and everything, it did solve his problem. Hope that helps someone.

me too! four days at this and no resolve! contacted both the installation team at templatetuning (which I paid for) and templatemonster (who I bought the template from) and no f****answer. About to switch :(

Hi Julissa,

 

Templates are generally not supported on this forum especially not templatemonster the name says it all :).

 

Unless from an experienced developer who will be generally found on this forum who adheres to osc coding standards

 

I would suggest you get in touch again with your template provider.

 

You paid and as far as I know you have 7 days to claim a refund because it does not function / work !!!!

so go for it

 

Regards

Joli

It seems I am having the same issue as well. It has completely shut down my website. I am losing money everyday. My paypal express modual is not working at all! I have all the correct information listed with my API information and password, everything is just as it was for the last year. Then, last week I started getting a PayPal Debug error and noone could pay for an order using paypal. ANY help would be great. OR if there are any developers out there that could help, I am willing to pay anyone with an answer,

 

Sincerely,

Yes, I have ditched this software as well and I am an experienced coder since the early '70's. I wish it worked well, I really do because I absolutely love the admin side.

I can and have resolved most all issues but, the fact that every single installation that was perfectly functioning goes down, and it takes so long to get it all set up, kills the "real world" application of this software.

(If you still want to go for it, don't use templates people, use the stylesheet. You can accomplish most all theme-ing there. And add ons, don't touch em. Keep it easily upgrade-able and just replace the stylesheet. Do they still say "Word" :- )

 

Back in the day osc showed promise and I was excited about v3 but, it is an advanced store solution and support is prob now overwhelmed with people who don't know how to write a lick of code.

Which, unfortunately is almost essential to get a functioning store up and running (for a while at least). Therefore, previous minimal support is now non-existent.

 

But, it is free :thumbsup: and it can work (for a while). All dozen or so installs I have made in the last decade or so eventually became broken / defunct and replaced with other store / cart solutions that have been plugging right along without issue. Just got tired of all the OSC issues and no quick fix / support.

 

Another real downfall is during initial installation, even if everything passes, issues like cookie domain and paths can still be quite incorrect causing failure without ANY INDICATION of what is wrong.

 

Issues like; Your hosting provider upgrades their cPanel software or php version, your site can go down and it takes forever to figure out how to fix it because you don't know why it happened. That actually happened to me a few times AND ONLY WITH OSCommerce.

 

Okay, I may be opinionated but, I have to roll with my experiences.

 

My best advice, don't put all your eggs in the same...cart.. B)
