Payment module problem alertpay

[davidgrm]

I also would like it to show what has been purchased on the Alertpay side. I want to try modify the code but need some help. Can anyone advise where I can find info on how to extract the items from the Zen order?

There is no standard IPN page for Alertpay in Zencart, but there is a way around it.

Go to admin > Modules > Payment and click on PayPal IPN.

Copy and Paiste the IPN address on the right
(http://www.YOUR--STORE.com/ipn_main_handler.php)

Go to you Alertpay account www.alertpay.com

Go to the Business section in your account and click on IPN setup.
Enter the IPN address you copied from your admin.

Now any orders that have been made from your site will show in your admin.

Note: do not enter a password for the IPN in Alertpay as this tends to stop the IPN from working properly on Zen.

Hi guys,

Just wanted to pop up a quick note about IPN for Alertpay.

I have noticed on a few forums that people are having trouble knowing what people have ordered from there website when using Alertpay.

There is no standard IPN page for Alertpay in Zencart, but there is a way around it.

Go to admin > Modules > Payment and click on PayPal IPN.

Copy and Paiste the IPN address on the right
(http://www.YOUR--STORE.com/ipn_main_handler.php)

Go to you Alertpay account www.alertpay.com

Go to the Business section in your account and click on IPN setup.
Enter the IPN address you copied from your admin.

Now any orders that have been made from your site will show in your admin.

Note: do not enter a password for the IPN in Alertpay as this tends to stop the IPN from working properly on Zen.


Hope this helps a few people.

regards

Eoin

Thanks!!

Just to jump on this,

How reliable has this been with Alertpay, im having to setup zencart using Alertpay, but obvious first signs are you have no idea what the customer has ordered within Alertpay, but I remember in the past orders from paypal didnt always get called back to the shop so this is the worry, how have peoples experience been with this?

Thanks
Sam

Besides the IPN issue, do we have any luck to have the solution like the one as for Paypal's Automatic Return URL in Website Payments Preferences ?

Any idea!

Thanks

I installed the Alertpay payment module on one of my sites, made the alterations to the Paypal IPN settings as suggested by dropbob and everything 'appeared' to working fine.

When cross referencing the Alertpay account transactions I found that one in six transactions were not registered as sales on the site and no order details available within Admin.

Alertpay support deny that there are any IPN issues at thier end and will only offer to resend the IPN details to you.

If you run a busy store like I do where you have multiple transactions a day, then this payment processor/module is not recommended until Alertpay make available a complete module that works without issues that could destroy a business.

My trouble is ap_amount cannot be negative or 0 (on the AlertPay PayProcess.aspx page) . The version 1.1 gives me no trouble. I install 1.2 either new or just copying it over, still same result with this.

Can someone give me a clue, or can we work together to find a solution? I tried commenting and un-commenting the ap_amount lines, checking things with WinMerge, opening with WordPad to straighten the page and resave and try again.. all same result.
If someone has experience or would like to discuss, please leave some info.

hi steve,

i've been encountering a similar problem with my alertpay payment module v1.2

when a customer tries to purchase from my website the following message is displayed before they can complete the transaction:

ap_shippingcharges field must be numeric

i have been trying to locate the ap_shippingcharges field to modify the value but have been unable to do so and also have been unsuccessfull in finding the appropriate code to alter it.

this sounds like a simiar problem to yourself. i'm currently in contact with alertpay but they haven't offered me any help yet.

have you managed to overcome your problem yet?
do you know where the ap_ fields are contained to alter their values?

thanks.

There seems to be a problem with AlertPay ever since they did maintenance yesterday (the 7th). Our store was working fine just before their maintenance, but immediately after, our customers are getting the ap_amount cannot be negative or 0 message.

My client is using 1.3.9b with AP module 1.2, and every was working perfectly literally up until the moment AlertPay came back online.

PS - there are only 2 files for version 1.2: includes/modules/payment is the location you are looking for...
