PayPal Express Plugin - Extended Version (Free)

[ssc3]

I've the same problem. Did you solve? Virtuemart or the paypal plugin is flooding the customer of confirmation mail... any ideas?

If you had the above problem you would not be getting any confirmation emails. It relates to a networking or firewall setup issue on the server.
Only your hosting user support can fix it.

Update to the PayPal Checkout Express Plugin.

That's not used in this plugin, although you may be able to get the same effect using the shipping plugin.

Defining only countries you want to ship to. Later versions of the PayPal express plugin may add this feature.

So i just bought this plugin and it seems to work well. Easy to install and i added all the info and did a purchase. The joomla system updated straight away both when buying and when cancelling an order. Now the question i have is....

When a user goes through all the steps to just about to pay with paypal (clicking pay inside paypal) and then decides to leave or just close the browser and not clicking cancel. Say they just decide they don't want the item and just stops and never cancel the order. How does the shopping system know that its not a sale., It stays as an order in the system but does it have a timeout when it decides its not happening? Now i have two orders in the system where i tried this and nothing happens. Can anyone tell me

If you check in Virtuemart, you will see orders are either pending or confirmed.
If the customers cancels the order, it is deleted and removed.
When the customer pays the status changes from pending to confirmed and a confirmation email is send to the merchant.
If the customer does not pay or cancel the order stays pending.
That's the way Virtuemart treats orders and it can not be changed by the plugin.
There is no way for Virtuemart to know if the customer just leaves PayPal and closes the browser.
Only ship goods when the order status is confirmed and you have a confirmation email.
It is not just Virtuemart that does this, most other shopping carts operate in same way.

Allows the merchant to make either the PayPal or the Credit Card order form as the main payment option. One option is shown "maximized" and the other "minimized".

Version 1.0.14
The final confirmation page can now either be on the PayPal or on the merchants website.

Hi,

Just testing this module, and found 2 issues at the beginning.

First of all, any database tables are created during installation. During order placing is table missing error

•   vmError: VmTableData::store failed - Table 'db192857.rvl_virtuemart_payment_plg_paypalexpresscheckoutssc' doesn't exist

Secondly, I'm using multilanguage shop with product variant. Product variants strings are in language overides folder. I think that this plugin does not using "JText" function instead it gets string directly from product variant name. Example: I have product variant string "COM_VIRTUEMART_ART_DISPLAY" and in overrides language folder is COM_VIRTUEMART_ART_DISPLAY="Display";. Virtuemart see this product variant correctly - as "Display", but the paypal plugin see it as "COM_VIRTUEMART_ART_DISPLAY" in checkout page.

Could you tell me SQL statement for 'virtuemart_payment_plg_paypalexpresscheckoutss' table to create it manually, please?
Any idea to 2nd issue?

Best Regards
Artur

There problem with the database in the latest release of I have rolled the download back to previous release of the plugin.

I think you want the multi-currency version which hopefully be back on the site in a day or two.

If you check back then.

Hello,

Can you please add UTF-8 Support?
Because if I type in a name or address with UTF-8 Chars like "űáéúő" on the VM checkout than at the payPal payment page they are disorted.
In the original VM PayPal plugin I added

Code Select Expand

"charset" => "utf-8" at the end of $post_variables array and it solved my problems.

Thanks!

[ssc3]

Checked and one of the PayPal Express Checkout plugin files were not saved in UTF-8 format
All files in the latest release 1.0.17 are now saved as UTF-8
though when tested on a server, űáéúő characters were already appearing correctly.
PayPalExpress extracts the name, address fields from the Virtuemart database to send directly to the PayPal server
and the post variables array is not used.  The post variables array in PayPal standard sends these parameters via the
the customers browser and not directly from server to server.

Thank you!

Hi

Great plugin!

Checkout works fine!
2 issue.

1- After paying on paypal returns back to the website with the message "Thank you for your order" and the order details but does not display the order number- but I can see the order number in the title of the page.  How to display the order number on the thank you page?

2- Order is updated correctly in the database with confirmed status but no email to vendor or customer- not sure if this is to do with my configuration.

Please advise.
