"Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

Hello!

We have released patches that add the "Login with PayPal" feature to 4.6.0 - 4.6.2 versions (however, we recommend you to upgrade 4.6.2 to 4.6.3 instead of applying the patch).

You can download the patch in the "File area" section in the HelpDesk system at https://secure.x-cart.com/ (look for "login-with-paypal-2014-03-12_{version}.tgz" file names). Instructions on applying the patch are in README file inside the package.

To communicate with PayPal servers we use the PHP code recommended by PayPal. Unfortunately, this adds extra requirements to your server:
1. You need this: http://php.net/manual/en/curl.installation.php
2. The minimum PHP version is 5.3.2 (actually, any php version that has "sha512" in its phpinfo() result will work)

I've attached a script that you can use to check the new requirements. Place it in the X-Cart directory and open in your browser.

Thanks!

I already updated to 4.6.3 and love the functionality, it's great to see that QT decided to create a script to test availability of the necessary functions & to create patches for non-updated stores.

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

Is this only for US stores?

The instructions in the module appear to be incorrect

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

No, it works just fine in my non-US store. I do however server US customers.

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

This appears to be wrong to me.

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

It seems you use an old instruction. Please check the following one:

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

I updated the paypal as directed but now when someone clicks on the login with PayPal it gets redirected to home.php and error top right of screeen says "Client Validation Error: Invalid scope."

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

Ok so now i started from scratch box opens paypal ask to login but now get error " Login with PayPal authorization has been failed."

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

You should be logged out from the PayPal development site to test this feature.
Try to log in using e.g. Incognito Mode or in a different browser.

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

I have configured the login with paypal feature but i cant seem to see anywhere where this option is for the customer to login with?

We are using X-cart gold 4.6.3 with reboot template

any advice?

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

Please make sure the module is configured correctly. There should be a "Login with PayPal" button on the login page.

Try temporarily switch theme to default one. If in any of the default themes you have no issues, most likely there some compability issues with reboot template. I would suggest contacting template authors regarding this problem.

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

This is great advice that should be used whenever you experience problems in a custom skin.

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

I've installed 4.6.3 but can't login using paypal. The xcart log shows "User account couldn't be created because a user with this email already exists in the database". I've created a new paypal user not in my xcart database but still get the error. Tried using an Incognito browser window.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

I found the problem: paypal login verifies the primary email address even if you try to log in with a secondary email address. For example if I try to login with paypal secondary email test@xyz.com, paypal and xcart actually find a match on the primary email account me@xyz.com.

To confirm this I renamed my old xcart test profile me@xyz.com to metoo@xyz.com and paypal login now works with test@xyz.com. In edit profile xcart now shows the paypal primary email address me@xyz.com, not the login email test@xyz.com.

So it's important for customers and merchants to understand that the primary email address is what we should be using.

Now I think I found a minor bug... when I click on edit address xcart is defaulting to British Columbia instead of my defined paypal province Quebec. So if a client wants to make a minor change to his shipping address like "ring buzzer 444" he will also have to correct the state/province.

Paypal login is a great feature!

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

another issue

If I change my address in paypal, it is not updated when I log back into xcart.

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

I don't see that as an issue: X-Cart only imports the address when creating an account by Login with PayPal.

It would be strange to reimport the address every single time you login.

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

I don't know, my client base has a lot of 18-25 year olds, college students, musicians... they move around a lot. Maybe it doesn't make sense to store an old address in xcart. Paypal has their verified address so maybe xcart should always use this as the main billing and shipping address. As I think about it, it makes much more sense if xcart would always grab current address info from paypal.

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

I am also getting this error. I have triple checked every single setting. I am browsing within an Incognito window. I have fully upgraded this site to v4.6.3. Any direction on this error would be appreciated.

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

Try to clear cookes and the cache in your browser settings. Also, do you use something like LastPass or 1password that may sign you into PayPal account automaticaly?

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

Please enable debugging (define 'PAYPAL_LOGIN_DEBUG' constant in config.local.php) and provide me with the debug log files.

Thank you.

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

I was browsing Incognito, but went ahead and cleared cookies and the cache in my browser settings to no avail. In addition, I don't use something like LastPass or 1password that may sign you into PayPal account automatically.

@Mixon, you have just received a PM with the php log file for Login with Paypal. I sent a PM because the account data passed in the log file has secure information.

Thank you Qualiteam for your continued assistance with this matter.

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

@Mixon,

Did you receive my PM with the log file?

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

Yes, thank you. I'll check the log file and contact you soon.

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

** Urgent **

Taxes not working when using Paypal login.

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

And what is the problem? Who do you do? What do you expect to see? What do you see instead?

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

Canadian client with Ontario address checks out with 0 tax instead of 13%. When I go to address book it shows British Columbia as I previously mentioned in this thread. When I correct the province it then applies the 13% tax.

I suspect the province from paypal is not recognized so xcart applies no tax.

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

Do you mean you have a different Province defined in your PayPal account (Quebec)? And when you login with PayPal for the first time (no account in X-Cart yet), X-Cart does not recognize the Province correctly? Is my understanding of the issue correct?

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

yes that seems to be the problem. It does show Quebec in the shopping cart checkout, but when I look at the address book it is defaulting to British Columbia.

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

@ Mixon, Did you have a change to review my log files?

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

As far as I can see from the logs. There is "no_data" error. In most cases it means that corresponding record in lwpp table either does not exists or has incorrect info.
I would recommend removing corresponding record from lwpp table for that account and use Login with paypal once again.

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

No data has been written to this table at all. The table structure is there, it simply has no records. The following is the source code of the "login with paypal popup screen" after it tries to authenticate and fails:


If you want me to pay for support, that's fine. This just appears to be a bug because there is nothing more I can do to be sure this is installed correctly. Thank you for your continued support Qualiteam.

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

The empty table means that connection to PayPal has not been established.


It means there is a network problem or some other problem related to network connection not the integration itself.

Do you have any other error in web server or X-Cart logs?

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

Have you managed to sort this error out?

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

@seyfin,

I get this exact same error: "Client Validation Error: Invalid scope."

I have given up trying to figure it out because I know it is setup 100% correct. There must be some bug. Please let me know if I can provide any specific information to help this get sorted out.

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

Is there anyone in the x-cart community that has "Login with PayPal" working? I am still having all of the issues mentioned throughout this entire thread with still no response from QT...

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

Hello Michael,

Please contact our support staff through http://secure.x-cart.com/ - I believe this is something that should be looked at right on your server.

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

Confirmed: I have it working on 4.6.5

Re: "Login with PayPal" patches for 4.6.0 - 4.6.2
 

Please try to set up a new application at https://developer.paypal.com/, and configure it as per the below instructions, then configure the "Login with PayPal" module in your X-Cart store using the new application's Client ID and Secret values.

The error "Client Validation Error: Invalid scope." is apparently caused by the fact that step #8 has not been completed properly in your application setup.

1. Open the following URL:https://developer.paypal.com

2. On the Developer Portal page, click Log in.

3. On the Developer Portal page, click Applications.

4. On the My REST apps page, click Create App.
