PayPal Check out

[Merlinpa1969]

there are 2 solutions here,

1 add some text on the checkout confirmation page.

2. use paypal express.

There is an issue with paypal if you use discounts of any sort

We are using standard Paypal checkout will Paypal express show the quantities?

No I haven't found a fix nor does the developers seem all that interested in making check out compatable with PayPal as no one has bothered to reply with a fix.

Rooster,

the developers have stated several times that passing the items list in paypal IPN has issues, 1 the list looks like crap. 2 IF you use any kind of discount ( coupon ) anything that adjusts the price, paypal pukes on it.......

thats why the single item and total to paypal,

this issue is not being ignored, its been looked at over and over

the best way to got the line item in paypal is to use paypal express.

Merlin, if you haven't figured it out yet, the problem lies in zen-cart not passing the purchase information on to paypal check out. I do wish you would post something of a contribution if you have one? Otherwise your posts are just confussing the issue.

rooster, the issue is that paypals current IPN code chokes if you try to pass to much information to it,

IF you use a coupon or a gv or anything that changes the price paypal chokes,

If you do not believe me please use the little search box at the top of this page and search for it,


this has been talked to death you seem to think that Im trying to be a pain in the @$$ however I have done nothing but answer your questions and offer you solutions.


and I have actually made it pass the information however as I stated before the layout looke like a 2 year old designed it. and as soon as you try to use anything that modifies the price paypal acts stupid.

Do any of you guys know a recommended programmer or company that can fix this problem?

but don't use any discount coupons or gift certificates or you'll have abandoned carts

Well I am the last person you want to talk to about programing BUT I am good at cut and pasting code. I now have it working the way I want it to. Some times one needs to look out side the box. If you replace the checkout code with PayPal's checkout code it works the way it's supposed to.
