Basic paypal IPN problem...doesn't show the item name on paypal

[Merlinpa1969]

zen cart sends a detailed receipt ( provided your ipn is set up correctly )
paypal chokes on discounts so it must be sent as a single total to overcome this

Hello,
thanks for your reply...i'm still looking for the solution......is there any?

[sunny747]

I tried with single total also..still having the same problem.....i have updated with the latest patch for paypal.....quantity and item name still not showing up on paypal ......i can't figure out what the customer has ordered...
can't tell the problem...really need support here..

thanks.

That's because your server and PayPal's server aren't communicating properly.

sorry for discussing about this old topic again but i have the same problem as sunny747 has.. In paypal, it shows only these two things and then the total

JJ Shop Purchase
Store Receipt $100 (for example)

Which also means when that when the customer sends the money through paypal, what i will get on paypal IPN is just "store receipt" right??

This would definitely make things difficult to organise.

You can check the log Here

And for some reason if the customer wants to claim again, it would also be difficult because it doesn't show the item that the person has bought right?

Correct.

If you want detailed cart transactions, use Express Checkout instead.
