Hello,

When I press the confirm checkout button using paypal payment option. It will go to the paypal security payment page. However, the amount is not show on the payment page, which I have to key in the amount by myself.


Can any one help me how to make the total amount show on the payment page.

Thanks,
Chaners

We are using Paypal Module, when we do checkout, it goes to paypal site with the store name and email address and other details, but shopping cart total doesn't get forwarded.

Any idea how this can be solved ? Will installing Paypal_IPN help ? If yes how can we install it?

Thank all you gues in advance for support.

Guys, I hope for your sakes that you've already solved this, but just in case see my post I made today. This will hopefully be the solution you want.

There are plenty of posts on Paypal issues and official support threads that should offer a solution to any paypal issues

I have the same problem

Solution thanks to Nick Schoonens. Though this says paypal_ipn.php module file it also works on the paypay.php module file.

So after some more digging I came across the following code in the /catalog/includes/modules/payment/paypal_ipn.php file on lines 261-263.

if (!in_array($my_currency, array('CAD', 'EUR', 'GBP', 'JPY', 'USD'))) {
$my_currency = 'USD';
}

For some reason the developers of the module (osCommerce team) decided that AUD wasn't a currency supported by Paypal (and maybe it wasn't when they first released it in late 2004), but it definitely is. So a simple hack to the code like this fixed my problem, and now sends the correct amount to Paypal in Australian Dollars.

if (!in_array($my_currency, array('CAD', 'EUR', 'GBP', 'JPY', 'USD', 'AUD'))) {
$my_currency = 'USD';
}

Could someone please help me! I'm having the same issue with the amount not passing to PayPal and it's in CAD. CAD is already an option and it still doesn't pass. I did not install IPN. Where do I go to install it. I go to Contributions but it's just a bunch of notes... I don't see anywhere to go to actually install IPN. Please HELP!!!

I have this trouble and still not found the answer, its ok whomever it was saying there are plenty of paypal queries in here that deal with any issues we have, yes
considering that there are loads and loads and still i can not find what im looking for, i dont find that answer helpfull in anyway shape or form,

Why does oscommerce go to paypal with no prices or postage information, what do we have to do to sort it out, what is missing form oscommerce to stop this.

and one link that was posted with a possible solution is broken or missing.

one stuck newbie.

I had the same problem. In my case it was because of currencies: I was using CAD in paypal but not in oscommerce where I was using USD. I added CAD as an option through the oscommerce admin and made it the default and problem solved.

[cfinch95]

I am also having this same problem, Oscommerce is not forwarding the totals to Paypal at checkout.
It appears to be the same for many of you.
Is anyone even reading these threads as to provide a solution?

Thanks ahead of time for any help that can be issued!

$process_button_string = tep_draw_hidden_field('cmd', '_xclick') .
tep_draw_hidden_field('business', MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_ID) .
tep_draw_hidden_field('item_name', STORE_NAME) .
tep_draw_hidden_field('amount', number_format(($order->info['total'] - $order->info['shipping_cost']) * $currencies->get_value($my_currency), $currencies->get_decimal_places($my_currency))) .
tep_draw_hidden_field('shipping', number_format($order->info['shipping_cost'] * $currencies->get_value($my_currency), $currencies->get_decimal_places($my_currency))) .
tep_draw_hidden_field('currency_code', $my_currency) .
tep_draw_hidden_field('return', tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PROCESS, '', 'SSL')) .
tep_draw_hidden_field('cancel_return', tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PAYMENT, '', 'SSL'));

return $process_button_string;

This code is responsible in std oscommerce payment module.


So just serialize and place this $process_button_string in a file.
if amount has no value then You need to dump the order info total to know what is happening.

Second If You are trying to send some encrypted values were as YOu are stating on paypal that form is unencrypted or vice versa then too this might happen.

This out of my paypal.php. Which appears to be the same as you posted.. What are you trying to say? that I need to create another blank.php and just add it to the site? hmm.. I'm not really understanding what you are saying..

Yes, I suppose the information may be encrypted since it is under an ssl.. That could be why it is not working I suppose..

I have oscommerce setup on another domain on the same resellers area and it works fine they are both running under an https://mydomain.com area..

pretty much identical setups.

Thanks..

Also, I just noticed that this is happening on my previous cart setup on another server that was working correctly a week ago.

Did anyone notice if paypal changed their forwarding codes? I'm sure it was working fine a week ago with no problems.. Strange..

Thanks..

Tried both
paste into my paypal.php
just hangs, and nothing happens

[cfinch95]

Thank You Satish,
It is passing everything correctly now since I changed my code to the code you posted. I'm sure that is probably the default code for oscommerce. I had an addon because of the problem with losing orders through paypal if someone didn't press continue. I'll have to check on that contribution to see if there is an update.

Thanks for your help,
