This transaction is invalid - Paypal express

[Jeff_Mash]

Just had another failure. Here is the exact subject line for EACH email message that I have, in case you want to see a certain one:\

09:02:46 AM PayPal Debug log - GetTransactionDetails
09:04:54 AM PayPal Debug log - GetTransactionDetails
09:05:04 AM PayPal Debug log - GetTransactionDetails
09:05:11 AM PayPal Debug log - GetTransactionDetails


The very last email that we got (listed above) looks like this:

Like the others, we do not get this order. Nothing is put in our paypal account, and nothing comes to Zencart.

I don't know if this makes any difference, but even on a failed transaction an account is created.

The account is missing the * required phone number.

[Jeff_Mash]

Hmmm, I wonder if you are onto something here. I just noticed an automatically created account as well, where the phone number and the date of birth are missing, both required fields.

I don't know if this makes any difference, but even on a failed transaction an account is created.

The account is missing the * required phone number.

If this helps, here is where the process seems to go FUBAR. This is a direct quote from one of our customers:

"it brings me to the paypal site and then it tells me all the info like who im
buying it from (MJM Magic) and stuff like that, and then i click pay now and it
re-directs me to the MJM Magic website saying the invalid parimeter.. this never happend before i've ordered from you guys plenty of times."

[burk]

I'm guessing that the problem is in passing the country. IIRC, PayPal doesn't pass the country at all times when it's the US for a US account ... it used to. With IPN the country is already in zencart.

Just remembered a few months ago a question on one of the eBay boards - "where is Saskatchewan?", apparently PayPal didn't pass Canada in the notification.
