Hi,

I would like to ad a PayPal payment fee in percent. But it looks like it only ads the amount in the currency as a normal amount.

For example:Amount = 100 (currency)
  4% = 4.- or 0.04 = 4.-

But at the moment it calculats it like that.

4% = 4 no matter of the amount of the cart or 0.04 = 0.04.

Thanks for the quick respond.

Yes because it is the way it is done rigth now.
But you are rigth, it should be an amout per transaction, + an amount based on the order total amount, both could be fixed amount, or %.

Thanks for the answer. I thought that this feature was already included in the PayPal-Plugin from a earlier version. Could you or someone of the Team help me with that?

I just looked in to the VM 1.1.9. Is it true, that the PayPal payment is integrated in VM itself? And not as a plugin? notify.php and ipayment_notify.php ? PS: i know that there is no notify in the new VM. But if you could give me a hand to find out or help to change the PayPal plugin for the VM "2.0", that would be awsome.

I think it would be great to have this feature for al payment plugins.

Hi,

Please note that VM version 2 has been completely rewritten. So may be something was true for the VM1 version, but it is not for the VM2.

Payments and shipments have also been completly rewritten.

Hi alatak,

Thx, for the respond. After the "study" of the two VM version i was geting exactly this conclusions. ;-)
However. Could you or a recommended developer provide me with such a modification?

I think it would take to much time to understand the hole VM2 complete. But i just startet to study it proper. For future works.

Or do you think that with the calculate and taxes feature is a work around possibility?
