PayPal Product Name on Receipt

I have ZenCart installed using the PayPal module. Everything works as expected :smartass: and I can access payments from PayPal.

The only problem I have is that on the receipt that PayPal issues, under product name it has: MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_PURCHASE_DECRIPTION_TITLE instead of the actual product name. The receipt looks like:

---

Payment Details

Transaction ID: xxxxxxxxxxx
Item Price: $xx.xx USD
Total: $xx.xx USD
Item/Product Name: MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_PURCHASE_DECRIPTION_TITLE
Item/Product Number: 1

(The xx are filled in with the correct values).

I cannot find that variable anywhere in the code base ... anyone know how to help?

Many Thanks,

Dennis

It's defined in the paypal language file, and is a new item since v1.3.5. Perhaps you missed it during your upgrade.

/includes/languages/english/modules/payment/paypal.php

Yup -- that was it. Also explains why I couldn't find it -- you can't find what isn't there!!

Thanks for the quick reply!!!

I haven't upgraded to 1.3.6 yet. Here's my related problem - up until today, my receipts were showing the correct product name. Then, for some reason today it decided to show the MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_PURCHASE_DECRIPTION_TITLE text. The only things that I have done were to add credit card logos to the page 2 payment page and change the name of the payment options so instead of just Paypal it says "Paypal or Credit Cards (Credit cards processed through Paypal)". I also edited the admin/configuration/credit cards thing to show credit card logos in checkout.

How do I fix this?

in v1.3.5, the description sent to PayPal was changed to add the word " Purchase" to the store name.

You're missing this line:

  define('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_PURCHASE_DECRIPTION_TITLE', STORE_NAME . ' Purchase');

in:
/includes/languages/english/modules/payment/paypal.php

Thanks DrByte! What would have caused the line to disappear? Prior to just this morning everything was sweet. Go figure.

So, where do I insert the line of code?

THX!

The following displayed when paying via paypal below:

Payment For Quantity Price
Direct Fragrances Purchase
Item Number1 1 $69.95 AUD
Subtotal: $69.95 AUD
Postage & Packing: $0.00 AUD

                                                                Total Amount: $69.95 AUD 

Is there a way the description of the product can be displayed, plus postage and handling broken down into paypal. Please Note: Total amount correct, postage and handling included in the total amount. Zc doesn't transfer the P&H into paypal correctly.

Can anyone confirm that the Item/Product Name description still does not show the actual item description in the paypal email receipt? In this thread it almost appears as if the actual name of item should be showing instead of the "store name Purchase". I am getting the following using 1.3.6.

Item/Product Name: outdoorsinteriors Purchase
Item/Product Number: 1

Thank You

what you are getting is correct.

Zen Cart doesn't pass the items details.

nor does it pass an order number other that 1 because the order has not been created yet.

what you are seeing is correct.

I'm getting a similar problem on SOME PayPal payments.

On this transaction:

Total Amount: $40.66 USD
Currency: U.S. Dollars
Transaction ID: xxxx
Quantity: 1
Item/Product Name: MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_PURCHASE_DECRIPTION_TITLE
Item/Product Number: 1
Buyer: xxx
Phone: xxx

But on other transactions, it works fine.

I've discoved that IF the buyer has a PayPal account already, the paypal receipt shows up with each item they bought listed. If they don't have an account and are just paying through PayPal, then it shows up like above.

Also, some orders in ZC have an "order refunds" section when you edit the order and others do not have this section.

I did look in the paypal.php module and the line was not entered. I've added it but will it show up now just as 'Purchase' instead of the items being purchased?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jake
