Paymate

Hi,
Once you have installed the module into zen-cart, all of the fields including your email and totals etc are prefilled for you.
There are usually no issues there.
If you just go to their website yourself, or your customer does then yes, they would need to put in email address of store, but not if you are using the module...

Hello.

I installed the google checkout to my site without problems BUT, now I'd like to add the Paymate module. I've forgotten how I did it and cannot find anywhere on this site the basic set-up for getting Paymate set-up. Do I first have to create a Paymate folder in the public html?

Thanks!

I downloaded the latest paymate zencart module, @ http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_48&products_id=999

Zen Cart™ Version: v1.3.8
Version: 1.01
Last Updated: Oct 03 2009
Author: Richard

and it had a readme file in the ZIPPED Module

"Adjustment still required for paymate.txt"

Information reads as follows

In the includes > modules > payment > paymate.php file make sure you edit the "$this->form_action_url =" line 36.

I replace the original...

link with...

https://www.paymate.com/PayMate/ExpressPayment?mid=username&return=http://www.site.com.au/index.php?main_page=checkout_process

(my comments)
maybe we are missing this "return" redirect which is why the successful "Checkout process" has not been logged back to Zen Cart?

Thank you!

I know when I added GCO, I messed things up.

Have a good day :)

Hey all, I have added the paymate module to my website, I get all the orders through ok with the customers details etc but the actual items the customer has ordered do not come through, I have to email them and ask them what they ordered, very tiresome and unprofessional... is there a solution :|

I managed to sort it using the fix on page 3 but its still a really dodgy process, PAYMATE CAN WE PLEASE HAVE A BETTER SYSTEM!!!!! the blue "confirm order" button is a step that should not be needed and is too easy to miss for customers!!!!!

Even though I haven't had a chance to test it yet, I made the adjustment to use ".HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG." instead of the actual url - makes it one less thing to change if synchronising between a production and a test system.

Hi Folks,
The Paymate Module doesn't have any Instructions.
Does this get loaded into the Root Directory?

Has anyone managed to fix the problem listed below?

I've just tried to install the Paymate module and found the same issue in IE8, which prevents the module from being used at all.

Hi Again,

I've completed what someone said to do on page 3 and everything seems to be working fine when checking out in Mozilla but Internet Explorer 8 (the latest version of IE) on the other hand has a couple issues.

I;m wondering if anyone else is using IE 8 and checked that Paymate is working correctly?

what seems to be happening is that when you choose to pay with Paymate you select confirm and are taken to Paymate check out page where you enter all your credit card details.

Whats keeps happening is that the first time you are taken to this page the recurring payment section is already open (with out selecting recurring payment) and just below the the address bar in a browser information box it says "Internet Explorer has modified this page to help prevent cross site scripting"

When you enter your details and press confirm, instead of going to the next page it actually reloads the first page without the recurring payment open and without the cross site scripting information box.

My question is to everyone that is having no problems with the Paymate module what Browser are you using?

Also does anyone know how to pass the "Order Items" reference to the Express Payment page? As like some people have mentioned this field is empty when emails to both the customer and seller are received.

Thanks to all in advance. Kind Regards Rob

I would forget Paymate. They treat their customers like **it and they owe many of their customers money. They refuse to even answer emails and the Paymate cart is broken for good, I fear. I wrote to them several times asking about it and no-one responded. When I did get an answer on a different issue, mine, plus everyone elses email addresses were in the To: line of the email - so they in effect broke privacy issues as well.

I had the same problem and this is how i solved it.

In the includes > modules > payment > paymate.php file make sure you edit the "$this->form_action_url =" line 45. I replace the original...

Make sure you insert your paymate username where it says username and your site address where is says www.site.com.au

All this info is in the Txt file in the zipped folder

The Paymate Module is downloadable from here

Working on the IE8 problem now so keep checking

Hey All

I have been ajdusting the code with no sucess as yet. Also have been emailing the techs at Paymate about the problem and we have not found a solution as yet

I have also tested on IE9 32bit this morning and we are getting the same problem. so if we can find it it should would for both versions

Richard

Will keep you posted

Patrick Bourne in Akld (NZ) may of found the fix for the problem. We are still testing but this is what he has found.

There’s a line in the paymate.php file that was calling the hidden field in the button (the field that was being put in badly and stuffing it up) so I removed it.

The line (134) was:

zen_draw_hidden_field('return', zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PROCESS), '', 'SSL')

When this has been removed it appears to be working correctly, but more testing is needed.

Thanks to Patrick

Richard

I tried to remove this and i got an error when i got to the payment options....

Close. The problem is the parentheses on lines 133 and 134 are messed up so that the function call for the 'back' field encloses the function call for the 'return' field.

The fix is to move the closing ) from line 134 to line 133 to change this:

zen_draw_hidden_field('back', zen_href_link( FILENAME_CHECKOUT_CONFIRMATION).
zen_draw_hidden_field('return', zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PROCESS), '', 'SSL'));

to this:

zen_draw_hidden_field('back', zen_href_link( FILENAME_CHECKOUT_CONFIRMATION)).
zen_draw_hidden_field('return', zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PROCESS), '', 'SSL');
