Logo doesn't show up on PayPal checkout page

[dealbyethan.com]

Hi,

I created a custom payment page with my logo and made it primary on PayPal website. But when I checked out on my website choosing PayPal as the payment method, my logo did not show up. I contacted PayPal for help and they told me to check with Zencart to make sure they are not passing an 'image_url' variable to PayPal. This will prevent my custom payment page from showing correctly. Please advise. Thanks in advance :)

Best regards,
Ethan

/includes/modules/payment/paypal.php
around line 191 or so (v1.3.6), you'll see:

                             zen_draw_hidden_field('image_url', MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_IMAGE_URL) .

add 2 slashes in front of it like this:

//                             zen_draw_hidden_field('image_url', MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_IMAGE_URL) .

Hi DrByte,

Thanks for your quick response. I am using zencart 1.2.7. I did what you suggested to comment out the following in the specified file:
zen_draw_hidden_field('image_url', MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_IMAGE_URL) .
However, the logo still doesn't show up. What's the problem?

I don't know, but Zen Cart is no longer sending the image_url parameter if you commented it out as instructed.


near the bottom of the file, around line 256, you'll see:

//         'MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_PAGE_STYLE' ,

If you *remove* the // from the beginning of that line, then you'll have another option in your PayPal screen of Zen Cart Admin, called "Page Style". In this field, you can specify which PayPal page-style to use. By default it uses "paypal". You probably want to change this to "primary", or some other specific name you used when creating the layout on the PayPal site.

I'm having a similar problem in Zen Cart 1.3.7. I have a custom style set up in my Paypal account, but when I enter the style name into the module in the Zen Cart admin I don't see my logo on checkout.

When I preview in Custom Payment Page Styles in the Paypal admin, I can see the logo, so I know that the URL is good. The url is to a file on the secure server, so that's not the problem.

I don't see "MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_IMAGE_URL" anywhere in /includes/modules/payment/paypal.php. I do see 'MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_PAGE_STYLE', but it isn't commented out.

Any ideas about what else could be causing this?

The paypal module doesn't send the image URL. It relies entirely on the page-style name that you enter. Does your page-style name contain any spaces or uppercase letters ? Does it match exactly between your PayPal profile and your Zen Cart settings?

The style name is exactly the same, all lowercase, no spaces. Odd!

Any more ideas on what could be causing this? We haven't been able to find the problem.

Do a test transaction ... and go all the way to the checkout-confirmation page.
But before you click "Confirm" (where it normally takes you to PayPal), use your browser menu to View Source.
Search the source for 'page_style'.
What's the full content of that field? It should start <input ... type="hidden" name="page_style" value = "something".... /> etc.

It says:
<input type="hidden" name="page_style" value="flipflopsoriginal" />

"flipflopsoriginal" is the correct page style name.
