Seeing Order Number in Paypal Pro Details

Hi,

I'm using zen cart 1.38 with PayPal Website Payments Pro

Should I be able to see the order number when looking at transaction details? I have several sites and it can get confusing when looking thru transactions and not knowing what site a payment came from.

Regards,
Barry

Sorry, not at the present time.

Thanks- any way if indicating what site or IP address the order came from in Paypal?

You could try making the following edit to /includes/modules/payment/paypaldp.php, at line 539:
Replace:

Code:

---

      // unused at present:
      // $options['CUSTOM'] = '';
      // $options['INVNUM'] = '';
      // $options['DESC'] = '';

---

with this:

Code:

---

      // send the store name as transaction identifier, to help distinguish payments between multiple stores:
      $options['INVNUM'] = STORE_NAME;  // (cannot send actual invoice number because it's not assigned until after payment is completed)
      // $options['CUSTOM'] = ''; // reserved for internal use in next version of Zen Cart:
      // $options['DESC'] = '';  // reserved for internal use in next version of Zen Cart:

---

Cool! I'ts in there, I'll let you know

Incidentally, paypaldp.php is actually in the
/includes/modules/payment dirrectory

Yeah, looks great! that would be exactly what we need :blink:

I checked both orders paid with cc and paypal, still no store name.

I've got this code on line 540 of paypaldp.php:

$options['INVNUM'] = STORE_NAME;


Thanks in advance.

Did the changes upload to the server successfully?

Yep, the edited paypaldp.php is up there but still no store name.

I also found the same unused field code block in paypalwpp.php in the same directory & made the edit, I'll let you know if that makes a difference.

Editing the paypaldp.php file deals with Pro transactions. The paypalwpp.php file deals with Express Checkout transactions. (Ya, I know, the names are confusing ... it's all changed in 2.0)

Hey Dr Byte- I got the store name in Invoice ID, thanks! :clap:

It's an instant payment, here's what it looks like:

Invoice ID: Giggles.com
Date: Oct 22, 2009
Time: 10:49:16 EDT
Status: Completed
Payment Type: Instant

I'm not sure which file edit did the trick, I'm going to add the code to paypalwpp.php on another of my stores and wee what happens.

Aha!

Now I'm getting this error:

"Payment has already been made for this InvoiceID"

Oops!:oops:

That's odd ... I didn't get that in my testing.

However, you can do this instead:

Code:

---

$options['INVNUM'] = STORE_NAME . ' - ' . time();

---

That'll add the current time (to the millisecond) to the end of the store name, making it reasonably unique.

Is this because the order number is generated last? We really need our paypal to contain the zen cart order numbers somewhere in the transaction as well.

Mostly, yes.
