General product description.
Need to coplete Alertpay process.
Thanks
Help please?
Someone here must know.
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
Many thanks for that! I've been looking for that little piece of the puzzle!
The one Downer about using the Alertpay module is it does not show what your customer has ordered! Pain in the ###### if you sell more than one product LOLQuote:

If anyone has found an IPN designed for Alertpay can you please post it here as it would be very helpfull
Cheers

Use the PayPal IPN which you can find in ADMIN > Modules > Payment > Payal IPNQuote:

I am curently using the alertpay moduel, but am having issues with some orders proceesing in alertpay but not updating the order to processing, i think this is due to a timeout issue,
Really could do with some help
Can anyone help with this.
Every day now i am having 10-15 orders that are not updating after alertpay payments.
It seems like a timeout issue, i have tried changing the cach method, but this doesnt seem to have worked.
I really need to sort this IPN out or the timeout issue
I have tried using this
But i get an error stating that the account does not accept the selected currency.
I am working with GBP
I hve tried changing to USD and still get the same issue
i think i am nearly there
But have an issue now with an error
"Sorry, the merchant does not accept the given currency. Please try again."
I have tried setting the currency to GBP and USD
I have also tried changing the ALertpay primary currency to USD but this also did not work
Any idea anyone
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?
Hi, I don't anderstend hay to set up IPN paypal for Alertpay in admin ZenCard!Quote:

Thanks

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.
forgot to mention 1.3.9f ZenCart version
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...
Update - installed version 1.1 and it works.
I am have a similar problem, I have recently set up with Alertpay, installed the module v1.2, seemed to be working fine, copys all the items in the shopping cart to the Alertpay payment page, but if there is free shipping, the alertpay payment page cant handle it for some reason. I just an error saying the amount has to be a numeric value.
I think the problem could be solved by someone who is a but up on php (its a but out of my league) if they could make the module send 0 (zero value) as a numberic value, becuase Alertpay page seems to think there is no value at all.
I offer free shipping with orders over 65 euros, but if I use Alertpay as a payment option I cant give that offer.
Also, one other thing I noticed while testing, is that if you have items with tax (VAT in my case) the module only sends the amount before VAT is added, so if I have an item that is €10 + VAT @ 21% = €12.10, It will only show as €10 on the Alertpay payment page.
So, I was wondering if anyone else had the same problems or if someone is already noticed and in the process of updating the module.?
Cheers

Been a long time since I posted on this tread.....
Just for anyone who is reading this tread and having problems with alertpay not sending back IPN info to their website.
The Alertpay payment module has been updated here http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=227
It now sends the details of the products to Alertpay, so if you do not get the IPN sent back to your website, the details will be stored in the transaction details in your alertpay account on the alertpay website.
I am using the newer updates module and also using the paypal ipn and I am having no problems at all. The only issue is, as in the very first post is that if you offer free shipping, the alertpay payment page will give an error. I have tried the old module and it works because it doesnt send the shipping as a seperate item, so you wont get the error. I think all that needs to be done is to somehow send 0 (zero) as a positive number to alertpay, so that when you have free shipping etc, zero values wont show an error on the Alertpay payment page.
Dont know how to do it myslef, but im sure somebody out there does.. ;)
All the best

Hello Everyone!
Do you have any problem with Alertpay not including tax in the total?
Did you ever correct this problem?

Hello dropbop,
Have you tried this:I've made some changes to alertpay.php in includes/modules/paymentCode:zen_draw_hidden_field('ap_shippingcharges', number_format($order->info['shipping_cost'], 2, '.', '')) .
No error with shipping when it is zero.
Tax shows
Item name shows
Payment status true / false shows in admin: You can know choose false / true
No more problem with Payment Zone
Problem: When using discount coupon. Discount is not taken off.
You can test this code for: includes/modules/payment/alertpay.php

Hi,
We are have the same problem with AlertPay module. Sometimes it overcharges customers. We think it happens when customers try to apply a discount. Any idea?

Any ideas anyone?
Hi,
Based on Paymate module, I think somehow AlertPay module needs to change this code from:
zen_draw_hidden_field('ap_amount', number_format($order->info['total'], 2, '.', ''))
to something like:
zen_draw_hidden_field('ap_amount', number_format(($order->info['total'] - $order->info['']))
I am not sure if this would work, give it a go and let us know?
Hi guys, I use zen cart 1.39h and a custom template fro 12leaves.
I have installed paypal and google checkout payment modules, now I want to install Alertpay.
I placed the 2 files in the correct directories, found and installed alertpay in modules>payment.
however alertpay does not show up in the checkout I tried removing paypal and google....still not there.... any suggestions?
Thanks

It seems that you are missing this file: Thumbs.db
Ok I followed this instruction to the "T" and when i tested it out on the alertpay i get this instead of the product information on what was purchased or going to be purchased "Purchase(s) made on Hillbilly Electronics and More:" then the total that included shipping and tax combined which is good but not showing the product.
I am using zc 1.3.9h
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Jim
This was the instructions i followed and it didn't show the product during checkout except what i posted.Quote:
