Hello everyone,

I've just installed PayPal IPN v1.1 but am kind of lost on a few things. I'm hoping one of you will help me out here. My hosting uses a shared SSL, I have read the instructions given with the PP IPN and have searched the forums but haven't had any luck. With that said heres what I'm lost on:

Gateway Server
Live (I'm assuming this needs to be live?)

Enable Encrypted Web Payments
True (I'm assuming this needs to be set to true to use the SSL?)

Your Private Key
(Where in My PayPal account do I obtain this if needed?)

Your Public Certificate
(Where in My PayPal account do I obtain this if needed?)

PayPals Public Certificate
(Where in My PayPal account do I obtain this if needed?)

Your PayPal Public Certificate ID
(Where in My PayPal account do I obtain this if needed?)

Working Directory
(Where in My PayPal account do I obtain this if needed?)

OpenSSL Location
/usr/bin/openssl (Should this be set to the shared SSL location that I used for the set up of the shop? For example..https//mydomain.com/~name)

Can someone please help me out?

Thanks,

Mark

Go to page 7 from this thread and most of your questions will be answered and a few others are clearly explained inside the installation file with this contribution !

As for a few of your questions:

Quote

Gateway Server
Live (I'm assuming this needs to be live?)

This needs to be Live when you have it all working properly and are using it in your live shop. Before that leave it at Testing so you can test it through the Paypal Sandbox server.

Quote

Working Directory
(Where in My PayPal account do I obtain this if needed?)

This has nothing to do with Paypal. It is a directory on your own server where temporary files can be stored (just like you use for the osC caching/session temporary directory).

Quote

OpenSSL Location
/usr/bin/openssl (Should this be set to the shared SSL location that I used for the set up of the shop? For example..https//mydomain.com/~name)

Normally you can leave this as it is. It is an application provided by your host and has nothing to do with your shared SSL. If your host has installed this to another location you will have to ask them what the location is. If they haven't installed it at all you have a problem (this you can check through Admin->Tools->Server Info).

Be aware that the osC Paypal IPN encrypted web payments option stands seperate from your own (shared) SSL. It is meant to encrypt your osC order details during the 1 second or less when the customer leaves your site (with your SSL protection) and going to the Paypal payment pages (protected by the Paypal SSL). During that short moment the order details from your shop are vulnerable and that's where the osC Paypal IPN encrypted web payments option comes into play.

My volume discounts are lost when the user winds up at the PayPal site to make the payment. What shows is the order total before discounts.

I am using the Price Sensitive Discount V2.3 contribution from Ian Wilson.

The discount does appear on the Order Confirmation page (checkout_confirmation.php) and the discount does work for my other payment option (2Checkout) and previously worked for PayPal via an earlier IPN contribution whcih has been removed.

This discount module was an incredibly easy install with no hacking and just two added files, and the discount kind of appeared automatically during the Order Confirmation which I understand is as designed, so I am puzzled why it is not appearing for the new PayPal IPN module.

[bettysue]

Please don't slam me for this question, but could someone tell me which of the files I download to install this mod on a US based store?

So far I've downloaded most of them, yet each is named differently so it really is hard for a newbie who hasn't worked with OSC in over a year to figure out.

Thank You,

Betty

Right i have the situation where the cart contents, total, postage are passed to paypal sandbox and the order progresses nicely however when it is completed and i click "return to Merchant" i get the following error

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare tep_db_connect() (previously declared in /home/********/public_html/gallery/includes/functions/database.php:13) in /home/********/public_html/gallery/includes/functions/database.php on line 13
The order goes through and the admin section is updated once the payment goes through but no stock its deducted.

Anyone got any ideas where i am going wrong?

In the contribution section there is a mod for adding order number to emails. Just apply this to the paypal_ipn file and you're golden. You may need to adjust slightly for the paypal mod, but if you know a bit of php you should be fine.

Good luck.

I didn't read well, was looking for something different than jeff.keeling after all

I was hoping it was possible to ad the order nr to the PayPal e-mails, currently I get "Item # - Notification of Payment Received from ..." in the subject or just "Notification of payment received".

It seems that at least the the e-mails with the "Item #" could have the order number included in the subject.?

Hi 2 issues on the OsCommerce PayPal IPN Module 1.1.

1. checkout_confirmation.php is not generated by the order number sometimes. This cause the IPN.php script fail to correlate the IPN with the order in the database.

How to solve this intermittent issue of not having the order id or invoice #?

This the code of the button,

<input type="hidden" name="invoice">

2. I am using HKD to in the catalog and paypal mandate the use of USD for settlement. From payment perpsective, it is working fine. But when it comes to IPN, the current IPN 1.1 module is trying to compare USD amount received from the IPN, to compare with the HKD amount stored in the database, obviusly, it is causing undeisred behavior in the script.

Anyone have solved it before?

The related code in IPN script is

if ($_POST['mc_gross'] == number_format($total['value'] * $order['currency_value'], $currencies->get_decimal_places($order['currency']))) {
if (MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_IPN_ORDER_STATUS_ID > 0) {
$order_status_id = MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_IPN_ORDER_STATUS_ID;
}
}

Hi,

I'm having this same problem. In the configuration on osc of PayPal IPN, I use an email address of sales@halloweenplayground.com. This is also the email address of the business account setup on the sandbox.

I created a personal account on the sandbox which has the same email address as the user I created on my osc to test an order - the personal account has a different email address.

What else should I be checking? The first error I get from osc is:

Warning: openssl_pkcs7_sign(): error creating PKCS7 structure! in /home/hsphere/local/home/scavenge/halloweenplayground.com/includes/modules/payment/paypal_ipn.php on line 356


Then, when I click confirm order, I get this error from Paypal:

Error Detected


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The email address for the business is not present in the encrypted blob. Please contact your merchant.

Continue



Any ideas on how to solve either error?
Many Thanks!

Either email address should work.

Shop around for the SSL. You probably do not need the most expensive.

Places like GoDaddy run about $55.00 (might have been for two years, I forget) for a "turbo" level. That is what I have and it works fine.

Just copied this from my receipt:

QTY ITEM PRICE 1 Turbo SSL (2 Years) 55.90

Hi all! I am having a problem with the PayPal IPN not passing the shipping costs to PayPal consistently. It is only doing it right about every 20 orders. I have a $2.00 handling charge and then a table rate based on weight. The correct shipping charge shows up in the orders admin area but the shipping charge is missing from PayPal.

Here is the info:

Enable Table Method
True

Shipping Table
1.0:3.00,2.0:4.00,3.0:5.00,5.0:6.00,7.0:7.50,10.0:10.00

Table Method
weight

Handling Fee
2.00

Tax Class
--none--

Shipping Zone
--none--

Sort Order



I used to have PayPal set with a shipping table in their admin area with the override box checked. I had assumed (incorrectly) that everything was working right. I used to get a double shipping charge about every 20 orders. After I removed the PayPal side of the shipping charges, none of my orders show the shhipping charge even though the charge shows in the order admin in oscommerce.

Anyone have any clues with this?

PAYPAL IPN Canadian Currency Code Problem

Hi there,

I've installed the Paypal IPN module, but am having some issues with the transaction currency code symbol for Canadian $$.

The problem is this: The standard symbol code shound be CDN, which is what the Canada Post Shipping module uses, as well as all financial institutions etc.

When this is used in OSC and the Paypal IPN module, the total will not transmit to the Paypal page. If this is changed to CAD, it works, but the shipping amount cannot be retrieved from the Canada Post servers for the Canada Post shipping module...

since CAD is technically not correct, is there a way to change this in the Paypal IPN module and have it calculate, or is this an issue with PayPal?

Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Cheers,

TC
