PayPal IPN - not showing line item details

Hi Guys

I've a small issue with my PayPal Shopping Cart.

When I go to process my cart and I go to the PayPal interface, when I chose to vew the shopping cart I see the order as per the attached image.

This test order actually had 3 separate items on it and I would have expected to see each of the items listed separately.

Is this possibly a configuration problem?

Any help would be appreciated.

Many Thanks in advance.

Re: PayPal IPN - not showing line item details

Zen Cart send an aggregate of the cart,
your customers get a line item receipt from Zen Cart

Re: PayPal IPN - not showing line item details

Merlin is right --- if you're using the PayPal IPN payment module, you'll not see line-item details on your PayPal receipts.

However, if you are using the PayPal Express Checkout option available in v1.3.7+ then the line-item details are available on the PayPal side as well as the Zen Cart side.

Re: PayPal IPN - not showing line item details

So basically, if I upgrade to 1.37 I shouldn't have a problem?

Excellent - upgrade here I come...

p.s: anything I should worry about before I upgrade? lol

Thanks Dr Byte & Merlin

Re: PayPal IPN - not showing line item details

Hi Guys

I've upgraded to 1.37 but I dont see PayPal Express Shipping within my Payment Modules screen.

I only see PayPal IPN - which when I go to complete the transaction it still displays one item as per the original attached image.

Where have I gone wrong?

I've setup the **Instant Payment Notification Preferences **and **Website Payments Preferences **on my Premier PayPal account and the only thing I haven't set - which I hope isn't the thing thats causing this not to work is the **PHP allow_url_fopen() must be enabled **because I don't know where this is configured.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Re: PayPal IPN - not showing line item details

If you dont see IPN and express checkout then you didnt upload all the files

Re: PayPal IPN - not showing line item details

I had the same issue, the changelog seems a bit incomplete somewhere. I basically copied the WHOLE Modules Payments Paypal folder over

and don't forget this file!! I did at first, got it all working now with Express, still not seen if the item name is copied across into Paypal. I also hope the Auth Only option works as this is just what i've needed!!
/includes/modules/payment/paypalwpp.php

/includes/modules/payment/paypalwpp.php

The Changelog contains multiple sections ... changed items and "added" items. If you missed reading the "added" (new files) section, then you'd naturally be missing expected functionality.

I have installed the New PayPal Express Checkout with thew new Feb 20 Patch.
The module seems to be working fine but this quoted feature is not available. :frusty:

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
