No item description in paypal express receipt

FGold:

The new revision does not allow standard Paypal checkout and Express Checkout to be set up at the same time. So I've just been using the Paypal Express option.
Correct, but it still shows "PayPal" on the payment-choices page if you choose the normal checkout process. And, when you do that, it processes using the same Express Checkout methods. The only difference is that you login to your PayPal account at the end of the process (like Standard does) instead of at the beginning. So, it behaves similarly to Standard, but doesn't have any of the technical hangups/limitations that Standard possesses.

I was wondering if the problem manifests when you use that method of going through checkout.

Sorry for the confusion DrByte. I'm trying my best not to waste your time, I can only imagine how busy you are.

I processed an order as described and the final steps were paypal as you said. The Paypal receipt still came through without an item description.

I guess I am to assume there is no solution for this missing product info in the paypal express module? Seems strange that it would not include it.

Hi, has this problem been addresed yet?

I am experiencing the same problem after an upgrade from 1.3.8a to 1.3.9f. The paypal item descriptions are not showing.

Could this be a bug in the PayPal payment module?

I've not been able to recreate the symptoms described.
And without a full set of debug logs from such a transaction and a detailed list of how to set up my fresh new clean install to work just like yours such that I can reproduce the symptoms, there's not much I can do to help. Care to supply any? http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61199

If there's a bug, I'd like to find and fix it. But, since I can't trigger the problem, I can't confirm whether the bug is in the code or something to do with settings conflicts, etc.

Do you guys get this problem when using the orange express checkout button (which bypasses all the details and gets you straight to Paypal) OR when you use the normal Paypal checkout (for which you first click on checkout and select Paypal from the payment list options) OR both ?

I get the problem only on the 2nd case.

I just wanted to say that i was experiening this also, when i removed then re-installed website payments pro, the item descriptions did get passed through properly. I know there may be many causes for this but wanted to share that with you.
