The link you have used to enter the PayPal system contains an incorrectly formatted

[nick02895]

I'm getting an error at PayPal "The link you have used to enter the PayPal system contains an incorrectly formatted item amount.
"

I've narrowed the cause of this to an entry in the attribute controller. Setting "Onetime Attributes Qty Price Discount:" to 1:-1.95.

This is the only time I get this error.

I want to offer a one time discount of $1.95 for the first item and rest at the normal price.

Thanks for your anticipated support.

Maybe this should be moved to bugs?

Warnings (as identified in the file) do not stop program execution.

Do you have logs of the paypal transactions? (Possible to turn them on for debugging). What other modules do you have installed? Anything affect shipping or product prices? Paypal may be provided a negative number in a field that is expected to always be positive and something else may have prevented that change.

I searched but couldn't readily see how to turn on paypal transaction logging. Nothing found in the log folder.

I have a cherry_zen template and easy populate 4.

It is only the negative number that gives me issues. I can add to the price of the first item, but not subtract.

I don't see anything that would affect shipping or product prices. My site is very generic.

Admin screen: modules: payment: paypal payment method of choice, edit, scroll to the bottom, logs in bottom right.

What paypal module do you have installed? Recommended is paypal express.

Agree, neither ofthose two alterations should affect the end result. (I haven't looked into what the template alters, but shouldn't cause a problem like this.) To confirm, problem occurs when using the standard ZC process, correct?

All products are also more expensive than your first product discount?

And no plugins have been installed that are now removed, correct?

Thinking about the terminology used, although I haven't tried to reproduce the problem, it seems opposite to put a negative in front of the number when the statement is to provide a discount. Ie this is how much I'm going to give you back, -10. That would mean I'm going to take 10 from you. Do things work correctly if you change it to 1:1.95? (I *am* guessing here, but if all other things are correct, seems like the correct way to go.)

I turned on the logging. (Where are the logs now that they are on?)

I was using paypal standard, I am trying PayPal express. Seems to be working, however now the option (at PayPal) for my users to use a credit card is gone. check out as guest just hangs.

I believe I am using the standard SC process. Neither of those modules should have affected the process.

I did remove a plugin, and that was an earlier version of easy populate. Still that shouldn't affect it.

All product prices are more than the $1.95 discount I'm attaching to one product.

I do have another shopping cart, on another host. the $-1.95 discount worked there. There was nothing added to that. I hate to start from scratch to figure this out, but it is an option.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated. Nick
