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

    Hello,
    i'm using zencart 1.3.6 and Paypal Ipn as the payment module. I have noticed after checking out, on the paypal page the item name doesn't show up as my shopping cart. It makes it quite difficult for me to understand what item customer actually ordered. I would like to use paypal ipn than paypal express.
    Any support would be very appreciable.

    That is by design. The reasons have been discussed at length elsewhere on the forum.

    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
    Zen cart PCI compliant Hosting

    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.
