PayPal RESTful API Payment Module

Testing zencart 2.2.1

**Note I am testing this on a local machine using xampp

I enabled the PayPal Checkout (RESTful) plugin that comes with Zen Cart 2.2.1.

However, when I try to activate it, I receive the following error:

“The live/sandbox credentials for the PayPal payment module are invalid. The payment module has been automatically disabled.”

I recently completed an upgrade, and know the credentials I entered are correct.

Any ideas what would cause this?

Other than the credentials being incorrect, I don't have ideas. You could turn on the module's Debug setting and retry; that'll have the PayPal transaction and PayPal's response.

It strange because the exact same setting work on zencart 2.1 with php 8.2. When I do the upgrade to zencart 2.2 and php 8.4 is when the problem occurs. The module does not work when i use the encapsulated or non encapsulated.

I also tried it on a clean install with the same results.

I also enabled debug mode in paypal; module. Not populating a log unless I am looking in the wrong section. /logs/

I figured it out — the issue was on my local XAMPP setup. There was no SSL/CA bundle configured, so PayPal couldn’t validate the connection. Once I added the SSL certificates, everything verified correctly.

It looks like now, even in a testing environment, SSL is required for authentication with PayPal.

Where did you do that. I installed Zen Cart 2.2.2 and cannot find it nowhere.

https://github.com/zencart/zencart/t...odules/payment

paypal.php = standard
paypaldp.php = website payments pro
paypalwpp.php = express checkout

If I dive into the documentation there should be something like paypalr.php ?

edit: Oh I eventually found it @ /zc_plugins

zc 2.1.0. paypalr 1.3.1

I just installed paypalr for the first time. I enabled the credit card payment. Under the checkout page, it looks like "Paypal wallet" button is selected by default, so the credit card number box is not displayed. Is there anyway I can change the default option to "credit card" instead?

Also, under the shopping cart page, there is no paypal express checkout button anymore (like paypalwpp). So everyone needs to click on "Go to checkout", right?

Do you have payment modules other than paypalr installed?

Yes, there is no "express checkout" button for this payment module; everyone runs through the checkout processing.

Only paypalr and check/money order are enabled for this testing. paypalr is selected by default. Under paypalr section, there are two options: PayPal wallet and credit card. Paypal wallet option is selected by default. I'm able to edit jquery.paypalr.checkout.js file so credit card option will be selected by default instead.

I see. So now, if a customer wants to pay the order by paypal instead of a credit card, he needs to enter his address over the websites. On one end, with paypal express module, the customer can choose the saved one from his paypal account, which might be more convenient. On the other end, also paypal express, sometimes paypal saved address will overwrite the address entered on the websites, which also cause some issues.

The customer doesn't have to enter their credit-card on the paypalr form; they can use the "Wallet" and (after signing into their account) then select the card to be used.

I'll consider adding a configuration setting to determine which PayPal payment method (wallet vs. card) is initially selected.
