Need Help with PayFlow Pro

[dsdavis]

Hello,

I am trying to implement PayFlow Pro with Zen Cart 1.3.7 on Solaris 10 running Apache 2.2.

I believe I have everything installed correctly, but when I go through the purchase process in Zen Cart and get to "Step 3 of 3 - Order Confirmation" and then click the "Confirm the Order" button, I get taken back to "Step 2 of 3 - Payment Information" and see the following:

Result code: 1:

Error There has been an error processing your credit card, please try again.

I then receive an e-mail with the following info:

valueA: sh: /storage/www/wwwsec/bookstore/shop/includes/modules/payment/bin/pfpro: cannot execute
valueB: 
RetVal: 1

0 => sh: /storage/www/wwwsec/bookstore/shop/includes/modules/payment/bin/pfpro: cannot execute

After looking at some posts here (hello, Dr. Byte!), I've tried to run 'pfpro' from the command line, but when I do, I get "Invalid Argument". Is there some argument I need to supply?

ANY help would be appreciated.

If I recall correctly, Return Value of "1" means that your user/vendor/partner/password credentials have been supplied incorrectly.

Thanks, Dr. Byte, I was hoping you'd see my thread since you seem so knowledgeable about this stuff.

I am pretty confident that my auth stuff is correct, but here's the line that makes me think it's something else:

valueA: sh: /storage/www/wwwsec/bookstore/shop/includes/modules/payment/bin/pfpro: cannot execute


That's in the debug e-mail that gets sent to me.

Am I supposed to be able to run the pfpro binary from the command line? If so, how? When I try, I get an "Invalid Argument" error.

Thank you. I am really without any other help on this, and need to get it working, so any help you can give is GREATLY appreciated.

"cannot execute" would seem to be a permissions issue ... ie: the pfpro binary needs to be set to give eXecute permissions to the apache user

As for running from command line, yes, you should be able to. As for what parameters, I don't recall ... it's been years since I actually used that older module. The newer one for v1.3.8 is much more flexible and reliable IMO.

This is not related to the above issue, but I have a question about Payflow Pro.
Does Payflo Pro have to installed in order to process cc payments thru PayPal? It was my understanding that it didn't as long as the PayPal account is verified and at a "business level".

Thanks for clarifying this for me.

Payflow Pro is a payment gateway service previously run by Verisign, until it was bought out by PayPal. In its purest sense, it has nothing to do with your PayPal account. However, PayPal is slowly linking the features together.

Website Payments Pro is quite similar to Payflow Pro, in that both are gateway services which can process credit cards directly from your website, without the customer even knowing that the PayPal network is actually the one clearing the card through the banks. Both services require the payment of a monthly service charge, as well as a credit check before the service can be available to you.

A regular PayPal "premier" or "business" account can accept payments via Credit Card. The customer does all the credit card data-entry on the PayPal site after selecting the items to purchase from your store. They "know" that PayPal is processing the transaction.
