Paypal old API - shipping not transferred anymore

[stout_77]

Hi there,
I need your help!
My website is in Joomla 1.5.22 and Virtuemart 1.1.5.
I have paypal payments set with paypal old API and everything as been working until Thurday 5th April; now I'm getting PayPal IPN Error messages, with Total check failed, and the shipping costs are not transmitted.
This are my configuration settings:

Code Select Expand

<?php
$db1 = new ps_DB();
$q = "SELECT country_2_code FROM #__vm_country WHERE country_3_code='".$user->country."' ORDER BY country_2_code ASC";
$db1->query($q);

);
if( $page == "checkout.thankyou" ) {
$query_string = "?";
foreach( $post_variables as $name => $value ) {
$query_string .= $name. "=" . urlencode($value) ."&";
}
vmRedirect( $url . $query_string );
} else {
echo '<form action="'.$url.'" method="post" target="_blank">';
echo '<input type="image" name="submit" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but6.gif" alt="Click to pay with PayPal - it is fast, free and secure!" />';

foreach( $post_variables as $name => $value ) {
echo '<input type="hidden" name="'.$name.'" value="'.htmlspecialchars($value).'" />';
}
echo '</form>';

}
?>

Same on 2 different sites: one with VM 1.1.3 - worked fine for years, nothing has changed, and one with VM 1.1.9 and the VM fix from b-planet.com - also worked fine for more, than a year. both sites are running latest Joomla, both wheren't changed, not by me, nor by the site owner, and the hosting environment is also unchanged.

I did an ugly hack to solve it until a real fix is found. I simply added the shipping amount to the total to be passed to PayPal, and send zero instead the real shipping amount, in short replaced this:

Code Select Expand

"amount" => round( $db->f("order_subtotal")+$tax_total-$discount_total,
"shipping" => sprintf("%.2f", $db->f("order_shipping")),
with this:

Code Select Expand

"amount" => round( $db->f("order_subtotal")+$tax_total-$discount_total+sprintf("%.2f", $db->f("order_shipping")), 2),
"shipping" => "0",
The customers are charged via PayPal with the correct value, and shipping and tax details are still okay in the order - just they aren't passed to PayPal, so won't be shown on PayPal's invoice.
Hopefully I will find a better solution - or somebody else will do it.

Hi there,

Very similar situation. I did upgrade to the fedex web service and just yesterday and order was placed and shipping wasn't passed through which really sucks.

I just modifed the paypal info as above and it worked, however, is this the best fix?

I'm using joomla 1.5.20, virtuemart 1.1.9, fedex services 2.2011.04.19.
Thanks.
