It's not looking for a web address. It's looking for a file system path; the place where you put it using FTP. I assume that all the files go on the server in one place; you don't have duplicate copies for HTTP and HTTPS access, even though the URL that you access them from is different.


Make sure that "Proxy Address" in the WPP module settings is blank. To the best of my knowledge, this test should work with shared SSL.

You still haven't got the API certificate path correct.

I'm pretty much at the end of what I can do without actually looking at your server configuration. If you would like me to have a look at it, please contact me via private message here.

Hi Glen

I have figured out what the problem is. I dont think I have been making my setup clear.

I have 2 versions of my site which are exact copies. 1 on my main site, and an exact copy on a secured shared server.

A person browsing items in my site stays on the normal www.xxx.com but as soon as they want to checkout or log in they are taken to https://www.securedsite.com/xxx/
which is on a completly different shared server and is an exact copy of the normal site.

so when I put in the file system path for the main site it says it cant find it because by the time someone wants to pay for something they have switched onto the secured server.

Changing the cert file path in admin to the secured server location works and is confirmed with wpp_diagnostics.php

However trying to run the module with this brings up the "PayPal WPP installation incomplete!"

This is because it is again looking for items in the www.xxx.com file system path.

Changing the Set DIR_FS_CATALOG in configure.php in the secure version of the site to the secure file system path EG '/secured/catalog/etc/' sorts this out and I am able to go through the checkout normally and can put my card details in and process the payment up until the very last page where I have entered the verified by visa code. When i enter the visa code i get forced back to the chekout_shipping page and the following error is present;
"unable to use client certificate (no key found or wrong pass phrase?) (Error No. 58)"

Clicking on the 'Pay with Paypal' button also produces this same error.

I'm thinking that the module prefers everything to stay on the same server and because of my multi server setup it is confusing everything!

Sorry this is getting epic now lol! Thanks.

I see. This is definitely not how osCommerce is designed to run, as the session information has to be able to work back and forth between SSL and non-SSL page loads. You need to have *one* server with a single copy of your shop. Shared SSL works fine as long as the shared URL points back to the same files used by the regular shop. This is why we have two variables defined to point there; HTTP_SERVER and HTTPS_SERVER. They are two ways of looking at the same site, not two copies of the site. In your case, http://www.xxx.com/catalog/index.php and https://www.securedsite.com/xxx/catalog/index.php *must* be the same file, not two identical files. My own site has a dedicated SSL certificate, so I set my server variables to the same url and just set the scheme appropriately (http or https).

It's not just this module; it's the way all of osCommerce runs.

Brian, does the 3D Secure support in this contribution work with DynamoCheckout?

[matthell]

Hi Glen

Thanks for your help ...

The mirrored site method is the only way to get SSL working on Fasthosts (and this is what they recommend), I am now looking at changing hosts.

The only way I can get it to work currently is by disabling SSL but this is obviously not the correct way to do it!

Matt,
There is apparently a way to get osC working with fasthosts. There is a post here in the forums that describes the technique. http://forums.oscommerce.com/index.php?showtopic=232372&view=findpost&p=964638 The post is old, so if you're running RC2a, you can skip step 3, as it is already installed.

The certificate path might be a problem, as it may need to be accessible from both HTTP and HTTPS requests, and the path is stored in the database.

There may be a way to code around that problem. However, the best solution may be to find a provider that has a clue. Depending on where you are in the world, there are plenty of reasonably priced hosting services that understand how to implement shared SSL without requiring duplicate installations.

According to here: https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_api_nvp_errorcodes

the problem is:

10501

Invalid Configuration

This transaction cannot be processed due to an invalid merchant configuration.

Occurs when the billing agreement is disabled or inactive.


I would guess there's something in PayPal that you need to activate.

You need to apply for and be approved for Website Payments Pro. This feature is not available in all countries. Currently, it is available for PayPal business accounts in the US, Canada, and the UK. If you are not in one of these countries, check the PayPal home page for the country where your account is located to see if Website Payments Pro is offered. There is a monthly fee for Website Payments Pro; it is currently $30 USD for US accounts, $35 CAD for Canadian accounts, and 20 GBP for UK accounts.

First and foremost a very big thanks to Brian and Glen (DynamoEffects and SteveDallas) for keeping this fantastic contribution active with posts and regular bugfix updates.

I have two questions:

Can someone please explain the pros/cons of using this PayPal WPP contribution over the newly released official PayPal WPP one:
http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7280

Also, can someone please explain if the either of these PayPal WPP contributions are supporting the Advanced Fraud Management Filters add-on. To add this feature costs £20 per month per 5p per transactions on top of the £20 per month WPP and 3.4%-1.4% and 20p per transaction fees but it seems like a good thing to have as an extra security measure.

Does this work for Maestro Cards for you in the Uk ?

Have you seen any sucessful Maestro card sales since this was introduced

i have that DynamoCheckout checkout and it does "not" work i have had to go back to using the old checkout, paid for it and got about 3 weeks use out of it before 3d secure came into play , been a nightmare trying to get support for it, the emails just keep getting ignored.

Dave,
It appears that there may be an error in PayPal's documentation in that the card type 'Maestro' is not accepted, but 'Switch' must be used instead.

Here is an untested bit of code that should resolve the issue:

In catalog/includes/modules/payment/paypal_wpp.php, around line 1583:

Change:

        $order_info['PAYPAL_CC_TYPE'] = $cc_type;

To:

        if ($cc_type == 'Maestro') {
          $order_info['PAYPAL_CC_TYPE'] = 'Switch';
        } else {
          $order_info['PAYPAL_CC_TYPE'] = $cc_type;
        }

Please try this and let me know if it resolves your issue. If it does, I'll incorporate it into the next release.

PayPal has a long history of creating payment modules and dumping them into the contribution archive with little to no support. There also seems to be no 'institutional memory' at PayPal, so they create a new contribution for major releases, rather than treating them as updates to prior contributions. Their old "official" release was based on an earlier version of this module, but the new one referenced is not. The new one appears to have been written by an outside contract developer.

PayPal's version provides support for the advanced fraud management filters and subscriptions, though I haven't installed it to see how these features work. It appears that their support for Maestro cards may be broken as well, as the usage of the strings 'Maestro' and 'Switch' seems inconsistent.

For some time now 'Switch' has been rebranded as Maestro, maybe that has something to do with it?

The PayPal documentation says that the card type should be Maestro, but another user reports that PayPal told him to use Switch instead and his "Card Type Mismatch" errors went away. I don't have the code that he used, but the above will leave the consumer branding as Maestro but send "Switch" to PayPal.

--Glen

[chooch]

Glen I agree with you about PayPal contributions not being supported. I have used this one on demo mode (sandbox) for a long time and now am going live with a store and just wanted a comparator.

Once PayPal approve the application and the store goes live I will test out the "switch/maestro" issue on the live store and see if I can replciate the problems that have been mentioned and then update here.

Thank you for supporting this fantastic contribution.

Hi, I have recently tried to implement the Paypal Express Checkout on my website but not sure what the correct process is.

The following are the steps I undertake:

1. Select Product
2. Add to Cart
3. Select Shopping Cart
4. I then have Checkout OR Checkout with Paypal Button
5. I click on Checkout with Paypal
6. (if sandbox is selected in settings, i get a security header is not valid error) not sure why
7. In Live, I go to Paypal Page and Login
8. Then asks me to review my info and Continue
9. (This is where i think its not going to the right page) I get redirected back to my checkout_payment.php?error_message=Please+select+a+payment+method+for+your+order.

with the Please select a payment method for your order.

Could somebody please tell me how to resolve this issue, also just to clarify, I do only have the Paypal Express Checkout and the Website Payment Standard setup on the website, so don't know if this error appears as i have no other payment method.

Hope that makes sense.

If somebody could please help, would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

[SteveDallas]

@aftabn10: Are you using the DynamoEffects Website Payments Pro contribution? That is the module supported in this topic.

It sounds as though you may be using the Express Checkout module that is supplied with osC RC2a, which I am not very familiar with. A quick search of the forums shows that this post may be on point for your problem.

--Glen

[aftabn10]

SteveDallas, thanks for your reply.

I am using the Express Checkout module that was supplied with OsC RC2a. Will have a look at the post and try and see if this changes anything.

Thanks once again.

Btw, any ideas where i can find out the difference it makes with having the Express Checkout on the website in terms of process?
