Passing Product ID number to PayPal

[agiftcodotcom]

I would like to pass my product ID numbers through to PayPal, but I'm not real good with php yet. I think it would be in the following script under includes/modules/payment/paypal.php , but I'm not sure what exactly to adjust.

 

function process_button() {
     global $order, $currencies, $currency;

     if (MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_CURRENCY == 'Selected Currency') {
       $my_currency = $currency;
     } else {
       $my_currency = substr(MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_CURRENCY, 5);
     }
     if (!in_array($my_currency, array('CAD', 'EUR', 'GBP', 'JPY', 'USD'))) {
       $my_currency = 'USD';
     }
     $process_button_string = tep_draw_hidden_field('cmd', '_xclick') .
                              tep_draw_hidden_field('business', MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_ID) .
                              tep_draw_hidden_field('item_name', STORE_NAME) .
                              tep_draw_hidden_field('amount', number_format(($order->info['total'] - $order->info['shipping_cost']) * $currencies->get_value($my_currency), $currencies->get_decimal_places($my_currency))) .
                              tep_draw_hidden_field('shipping', number_format($order->info['shipping_cost'] * $currencies->get_value($my_currency), $currencies->get_decimal_places($my_currency))) .
                              tep_draw_hidden_field('currency_code', $my_currency) .
                              tep_draw_hidden_field('return', tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PROCESS, '', 'SSL')) .
                              tep_draw_hidden_field('cancel_return', tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PAYMENT, '', 'SSL'));

     return $process_button_string;
   }

 

Here is a sample of the coding in a paypal button if it helps at all...

 

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="[email protected]">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="itemnameorservice">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="123456789">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="999.99">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but23.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
</form>

 

I'm particularly looking at the following thread from the PayPal button, but I don't know how to make it work with the php coding of OSC...

 

<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="123456789">

 

Any help is appreciated.

I am trying to do the same thing. My item number in PayPal is not populating and I need to use my product ID number to define the PayPal Item ID variable during the order.

 

I didn't notice any other posts to your original request. Were you able to figure it out? If so, can you let me know how you did it? Thanks!

Hi. I'm a newbie. Pls try the following

 

Find the following in catalog/includes/modules/payment/paypal.php

	  if (!in_array($my_currency, array('AUD', 'CAD', 'CHF', 'CZK', 'DKK', 'EUR', 'GBP', 'HKD', 'HUF', 'JPY', 'NDK', 'NZD', 'PLN', 'SEK', 'SGD', 'USD'))) {
	$my_currency = 'USD';
  }

Add these lines below:

$xx = '';
for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($order->products); $i++) 
{
$xx .= ($order->products[$i]['id']) .'';
}

These will shows the product ID on the payment page instead of store name.
