Hi Mitchell.. The PayPal App requires a later jQuery version than what is used by your Administration Tool template. You should try to update your jQuery version to at least v1.5. This can be done with the following steps: 1) Download jQuery v1.11.1 from: http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js 2) Copy that file to: catalog/ext/jquery/ 3) Update the jQuery version in the Administration Tool template. In the following file: catalog/admin/includes/template_top.php change: <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo tep_catalog_href_link('ext/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js'); ?>"></script> to: <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo tep_catalog_href_link('ext/jquery/jquery-1.11.1.min.js'); ?>"></script> Keep the v1.4.2 jQuery version in that directory as your shop template is more than likely using that jQuery version, which it can still keep using.

@@LDeeJay - the Request API Credentials buttons are only shown if the store country is US or UK. This is defined in the Admin -> Configuration -> My Store -> Country configuration parameter. I don't know why "error_log_extraction" is reported when applying an update and am looking into it. To fix the OSCOM_APP_PAYPAL_EC_STATUS error, reset the App's configuration parameters by executing the following MySQL command: delete from configuration where configuration_key like 'OSCOM_APP_PAYPAL_%'; You should be able to execute that via your hosting control panel or using phpMyAdmin.

Is anything logged in the includes/apps/paypal/work/ directory? The Retrieve API Credentials buttons are only currently supported for stores in the US and UK. The App will be updated to allow more countries as soon as they are supported.

Are you able to access the following file directly: http://your-shop-url/path-to-catalog/ext/modules/payment/paypal/standard_ipn.php You should receive a blank page similar to: http://demo.oscommerce.com/ext/modules/payment/paypal/standard_ipn.php

@@LDeeJay for some reason the error string is not being recorded in the update log file properly. Could you try downloading v4.027 and overwriting the files from the full app download package to your store installation? http://apps.oscommerce.com/index.php?Download&paypal&app&2_300&4_027 You can then force an online version check on the Info/Help page to test out the online update feature to update your App to v4.039.

Hi All.. PayPal App v4.039 has been pushed out! This is the first public release of the App and is now available on our Add-Ons site at: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/9184 A public announcement will be pushed out later today!

Is there only 1 such entry for checkout_process.php in your log file or are there perhaps two occurring at the same time or within 1 second of each other?

I really don't know what the cause of that problem could be. If you can get that behaviour to show with a sandbox account, could you email me the paypal account username and password and I'll look into it.

This will be looked into in a future update of the App. So it downloads the update package successfully but stops when it tries to apply the update? Can you provide more information of your webserver such as operating system, PHP version, and your browser? If no log file is created in catalog/includes/apps/paypal/work/ is anything reported to the browser via its developer tools javascript console?

Not in the first public release. It behaves the same as performing the refund directly at PayPal. This will be looked into in a future update though.

The target date for releasing the App publicly is this coming Monday (the 8th)! The documentation is just about ready too which can be previewed at: http://library.oscommerce.com/Package&en&paypal&oscom23 (the pages from Balance onwards are still being worked on)

@@altoid Can you confirm that BRANDNAME is sent as a parameter to the SetExpressCheckout call in the PayPal App -> Log page, and that it contains your store name.

@@altoid It might also be that the business name is only shown for PayPal Business Accounts, and an e-mail address is shown for PayPal Personal/Premiere Accounts.

@@altoid Just to make sure, are you perhaps mixing your PayPal Sandbox account profile settings with your live account settings?

I was referring to your actual PayPal account settings at PayPal, not the PayPal App configuration parameters :) Try looking around PayPal -> Profile Settings -> Business Information -> Business Name The default value for the button title is: Back to STORE_NAME That's for the last button shown after payment at PayPal has been made. The "Cancel and return to" link title is not configurable and uses your PayPal Account Profile settings.

I just looked at updating the javascript code to support earlier jQuery versions however using features first introduced in jQuery v1.5 (from 2011) allows a safer online update routine to be performed. The next update to the App will display a notice if jQuery < 1.5 is used.

The maximum length of the return to store button title is 60 characters (which includes the "Return to" string and the store name). If the whole string is longer than 60 characters, the default PayPal button title is used which is generated from your PayPal account settings. You should be able to change the e-mail address to your business name in your PayPal account settings. With the online update feature it is not recommended to edit any of the App files otherwise they may be overwritten the next time an online update is performed. A manual update is possible if custom code changes need to be applied. The following options are possible: 1) Increase the MySQL auto increment value for the orders table (PayPal allows a maximum 127 characters to be used for the invoice), or 2) Allow the invoice number sent to PayPal to be prefixed Option 2 seems to be the best solution and will look into it. Thanks for the feedback!

Great catch! Will look into this tomorrow.

@@Supertex if you're getting that on a mobile device it is a problem on PayPals side. The only solution is to enable Payment Data Transfer (PDT) in your PayPal account Website Payment Settings page.

@@Supertex that seems to be a bug with jQuery 1.5.0 :( Could you try this: http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.5.1.min.jsThanks!

Here is the url to try jQuery 1.5: http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.5.min.js Download that and copy it to catalog/ext/jquery/ and update the url in your admin template. You could also use the latest jQuery version however I don't know if that will conflict with your template.

@@Supertex I just noticed your updated post. You're using jQuery 1.4.2 which a jQuery function is not available to. I will add in some code to detect this to prevent the error happening to someone else. Until you update your jQuery version you won't be able to apply online updates automatically :( Would you be able to update your jQuery version to at least 1.5? You could use a newer jQuery version for your admin side and keep 1.4.2 for your catalog side.

@@Supertex Could you post the jQuery version being used on your admin installation? It should be visible in the html source code of the page, something like: <script type="text/javascript" src="https://store/ext/jquery/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>

@@Supertex, the button link is loaded through javascript which is why no url is showing for the button. Could you see if any javascript errors are being reported in your browser? Chrome: More Tools -> Javascript Console Internet Explorer: Developer Tools -> Console An error could be shown when first clicking on the Apply Update button.
