Customer with last name 'Null' Can't place order.

I just had the weiredest thing happen.. I kept getting e-mails saying an order couldnt be processed because of missing required field, last name..

So I checked to see who the customer is trying to place the order and I noticed his last name is Null ... is it possible that zencart is not passing the last name parameter right due to his real name being 'Null' ?

any help appreciated, thanks!

**81136 Missing Parameter - LastName : Required parameter missing **

Can you replicate the scenario on demand?
Do you have PayPal debug logging enabled? If so, please post the logs.
What version of Zen Cart?
Was this indeed a Website Payments Pro transaction? or from a different PayPal module?
How did the customer's account get created in the first place? Did you import customer records from anyplace?

I can turn on debug and replicate and post logs here...

I use ZenCart v1.3.8 with the Website Payments Pro Module which you guys added in 1.3.8..

The customer registered through the site..

P.S:

Another bug im having is... when I have a free item in my store PayPal gives an error as well during checkout even though there is still a shipping charge.. but something about item totals not matching... if I make the free item 99c or something it works fine..

any ideas?

The debug logs which show what data was sent to PayPal when the 81136 error was returned will be helpful. Basically trying to determine whether it's Zen Cart that's sending a blank because it sees "Null" or if it's PayPal that's reading "Null" as a special word instead of as a literal valid string.

What version of Zen Cart?
