Tranfer shipping and tax info to Paypal

Hi There,

I can't seem to find a thread on this issue.

I have set-up the tax and shipping in Zen-Cart (ZC). I am using a Paypal IPN. When I go through the checkout ZC adds the correct tax and shipping, however when I am transfered to Paypal to make the actual payment only the Total amount is transfered and not the tax and shipping breakdown I see in ZC.

Is there a way to configure ZC or Paypal to transfer the seperate subtotal, tax, and shipping components into Paypal, instead of just the total?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Adam

Not at this time ... the total amount of the order is sent to PayPal and it does not break it out ...

Re: Tranfer shipping and tax info to Paypal

Ajeh is correct -- the PayPal IPN module doesn't send the subtotal or lineitem details to PayPal.

However, the PayPal Express Checkout in v1.3.7 does (as long as there are no coupons or other discounts or one-time charges in the order).
