PayPal standard - show product items
 

A quick mod to show the ordered items on PayPal side.

Please check these posts:
X-Cart 4.5.x. (Updated)
X-Cart 4.4.x. (Updated)
X-Cart 4.3.x. (Updated)

X-Cart 4.4.1 users should also apply the DIFF.patch.txt

Note: Gift certificate support has been added; incorrect order total in certain tax configurations issue has been fixed.

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

Can this be configured for 4.2.x?

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

Can you give an image as to how it will work with a Quantity of 2 or more?

I understand that you can only pass one number to PayPal, but does that mean the Total Cost shows the correct values in the end? Even though the quantity shows 1?

After reading the thread regarding the quantity issue, I still find it quite confusing.

If I order 2x SKU1 item price is $10.25, total should be $20.50
Then in paypal what will show up?

Sorry for any misunderstanding

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

The problem appears in certain tax configurations (e.g. when the price includes taxes etc.)...

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

I've re-checked the PayPal documentation.

I have found an option that allows passing cart total discounts.
So, I've updated the patch to use cart total discounts instead of the items based. It allows to avoid devision and rounding issues.

I've updated the patch for 4.4.x version.

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

Alex is this going to find its way to 4.4.3 as default behaviour for PayPal payments? Hope so

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

Updated patch for 4.3.x version.

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

So, this works with a Quantity of 2 or more now?

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

Yep, it has no limitations now.

Alex, you rule bro!

Wish I could clone you. :)

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

I installed the 4.4 version yesterday and although it does send over the cart contents descriptions it created us no end of problems.

All Paypal orders were marked as "Not Finished" although the customer had paid. The totals shown in Payal added Tax on again to inclusive tax pricing and shipping was charged on all orders even free shipping ones.

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

Seems quite strange. As the modification is not changing the order status logic in any case.
Could you please provide a screenshot of the tax configuration page?

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

Sure - here you go

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

Thank you. Just tested with the same configuration, but got the correct info on PayPal...

The only thing I noticed is that Gift wrap cost was always included into the Shipping and handling section on PayPal (4.4.x). So, I've fixed that and updated the patch.

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

Thanks I'll give it another go then

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

Still adding shipping charges and tax at Paypal side.

Removed and won't be trying again as it messes up the customers payments.

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

I'm sorry, but I have not manage to reproduce the issue.

Probably it is specific to your installation/configuration.

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

I implemented this mod yesterday, and now no orders are getting sent to Paypal. The error is Fatal error: Call to undefined function func_paypal_convert_to_BasicAmountType() in /hermes/bosweb/web107/b1072/ipg.alamocitypepperprodu/bhut-jolokia/payment/ps_paypal.php on line 265

I can't find where that function is defined. Anyone know?

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

As far as I can see you use 4.4.1.

Please apply the attached patch.

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

Thanks. I applied the DIFF.patch.txt and that works. That will really help with order fullfillment. Unfortunately, I am also having the zero shipping charges sent to paypal, so customers are not paying for shipping. Is there a fix for the 0 shipping charges showing up on checkout for the shipping method and then being sent to paypal?

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

Hi Alex,

Can you please check your 4.3.x patch? We have a client who uses a membership assigned discount. While in xcart, customer sees proper discounted price/subtotals but as soon as they reach PayPal Standard, PayPal is only seeing the full non-discounted total. I tried forcing transaction through just to see what would happen and as expected it results in a "Failed" transaction total mismatch error.

Addendum: user xcart version is 4.3.2 and the applied patch does work as far as showing line items now on PayPal side, but in the case of orders with discounts, discounted total/subtoal is not being passed correctly. Normal non-discounted orders work fine.

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

I've checked the mod in 4.3.2. As far as I can see the total is correct. Please have a look at the attached screenshots.

If problem persists, please provide screenshots of the discounts, paypal and x-cart checkout pages (PM).

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

Kudos to Alex for his perseverance, timely and accurate communication, and his extensive knowledge of the PayPal interface in ultimately resolving and updating his "line item" patch 8)

I can only speak for our client's particular scenario: if you use xcart 4.3.2 and have an xcart checkout order where shipping and/or taxes are not applied, but a discount is, and the payment method is PayPal Standard, his latest update will resolve the issue of discount amount not being recognized/applied by PayPal.

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

I swore I had read a thread somewhere about how to add the product image to the PayPal invoice, but I must have been hallucinating.. is this possible?

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

I'm afraid it is not possible. At least, I have not found anything like that in PayPal integration documentation.

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

Thanks, Alex. I must have been imagining it!

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

I love this mod, except I am getting 0.00 sent to Paypal as a shipping charge. If I take out the changes to payment/ps_paypal.php, the total cost including shipping is sent to paypal. Then when I put the changes in to payment/ps_paypal.php the total cost does not include shipping.

So I have to choose a) see line items in Paypal but no shipping charged or b) no line items but shipping cost sent and charged.

Am I missing something?

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

Hi,

Would this mod work for X-Cart 4.1.12?
If not, could this patch be modified for X-Cart 4.1.12?

Thanks in advance!

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

So, am I out of luck for a free patch for 4.1.12?:(

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

There is no patch for 4.1.x or earlier versions, sorry. But I suppose it can be back ported.

Check the 4.3.x patch it is more close to 4.1.x. code.

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

is this pat part of 4.4 or do I need to load it? I have no order details showing up in PayPal. I do collect taxes - does that matter?

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

No, this is a standalone patch. It is not part of 4.4.4.

Re: PayPal standard - show product items

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

Hi, When applying the patch in xcart gold version 4.4.5 on step 1 of 2 I am getting a "Could not patch" status for the payments/ps_paypal.php file. Do I need to reset the file permissions to apply this patch? If so, what would it be set at? Thanks for your help.

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

Is there any plan for an update to 4.5.2?


Thanks

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

I'll update the patch and create one for 4.5.2 till the end of this week.

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

I actually just manually patched with the 4.4.x version.


I spent the last 30 minutes running tests and from what I can tell, it seems to be working.


From what you know, is there a chance of some differences that I might not be seeing?


Thanks!

Re: PayPal standard - show product items
 

I've created a patch for 4.5.x version.

I'm attaching it here.
