Commercial Jobs / Need Help Setting up a PayPal ...

Last post by sohopros - July 09, 2025, 22:10:12 PM

We posted the issue here: https://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=152359.0 and need someone familiar with the PayPal connection systems to help us get this going. PayPal has told the customer that their transaction fees will be halved if they convert from the legacy PayPal VM plugin to the PayPal Checkout plugin.

Plugins: Payment, Shipment and others / Re: PayPal Checkout Plugin

Last post by sohopros - July 08, 2025, 23:36:47 PM

We actually got direct support from the PayPal Integration support team and they said everything looked good on their end, but the data simply would not populate into the plugin. They are baffled by it, but don't have an internal Virtuemart resource to dig deeper. So I guess we just need to find someone in the VM community that has dealt with this issue.

I don't recall VM having a wishlist feature in core.
Are you using an extension?

do this locally first. OR a private copy of the site in a folder etc.

I would take a clean install of the new vmart, and then move the virtuemart database over, thumbnails, files etc. then update/migrate etc.

General Questions / Re: Loyalty offers/rewards?

I would use chatgpt and make this.

You need an admin component.
You need a table that stores users points, reedeemed etc.
You can get it to auto run on page load when you view the admin component. (to take into account new orders, and update the table) OR get chatgpt to write a cron for you to run daily etc.

You could do a standardized points per order value (make this a parameter value for the admin component, and then you could even run sales where you change the value points to more etc. ).
You could also go into the admin component, and add a value for certain customers etc.

So then, after you have values in the database.
You could display a form box on the user page showing the available points etc. Have the form ask "Would you like to claim your $200 coupon code today?"  Then when they click the button for yes, add the coupon to the database (with an expiry date etc)

Like i said I would do this with chatgpt, i am a coder, but would rather just design the mainframe, and deploy faster.

Joomla ; 5.3.1,

DB; 10.6.20-MariaDB-cll-lve-log

PHP: 8.2.28

VirtueMart 4.4.4 11101



Hello

I would like to offer a few items, specifically iPhones and any type of display, battery or display & battery replacement. Displays in different qualities at different prices.

So I have created my own fields see printscreen and then assigned them to the only item I have entered (picture).



[Blocked graphic: https://compiservice.ch/artikel_benutzerdefinierte_felder.jpg]



[Blocked graphic: https://compiservice.ch/selbsterstelltes-feld.jpg]

As you can see, it always calculates with the first article of each group and adds everything together. I would like to be able to choose e.g. Display OEM LCD and nothing else and then only get the price displayed.



https://compiservice.ch/shop/apple-smartphon/ipone-x-detail



Can anyone help me with this? I have tried it with items that cost 0.- etc. as so it takes the first entry when I activate the switch automatically add empty option.



Thanks in advance and best regards

I had a similar problem, but in addition to that, the site was frequently crashing with an Error 500. After examining the logs, I discovered that an aggressive bot was operating on the site, and I had no other choice but to block it in the .htaccess file.
