How to configure PayPal in VirtueMart 2

[alatak]

Hello

PayPal doesn't send confirmations when the status is "Pending".

The order is set on pending when it is created by VM. And VM does not send emails in that case.
We alreday had that discussion on another post. We

If the order status is not updated, it means that something went wrong while decoding the POST from Paypal. Turn on the log option in the paypal payment config, and may be the infos logged will help us to understand why the order status is not updated.

Do you know a way to send to Pay pal the data from a custom field to be seen on the transaction manifest?
Thanks in advance

Hi All,   ** Solved **

I am using Paypal as my payment system, but unfortunately I do no currently have SSL.
The issue is when My customer goes to the Paypal Checkout there is a Security warning with regards the image not being stored on an https server

Is it possible to remove the Logo so it is not passed to the Paypal checkout.

**update **

I have edited paypalstd.php and commented out the following from around line 252

Code Select Expand


//if (empty($this->_method->headerimg) OR $this->_method->headerimg == -1 ) {
// $post_variables['image_url'] = $this->getLogoImage();
//} else {
// $post_variables['cpp_header_image'] = JURI::base() . 'images/stories/virtuemart/payment/' . $this->_method->headerimg;
//}


Now the header of my paypal page is simple my site name pulled from the paypal setup.

Please let me know if you can see any issues with this quick fix.

Many thanks
Mark

Hi,
Is ther a way to config as was possible  in VM 1.* so that Pay-Pal Charges the customer the currency they have selected on the website ?

i.e.  If I select USD as currency in front end as a customer, when i get to the checkout page & Pay-Pal it charges in GBP ( which is my store`s main currency )
Thanks

Joe
