PayPal Express Plugin - Extended Version (Free)

[ssc3]

PayPal Express Checkout (Version 1.0.21)

An Improved installation script helps to automate the setup process, making
the plugin quicker and easier to install.
The user is now taken directly to the payment method edit page for the
plugin, with the plugin name been automatically filled in. All that remains is
for the user to add the API details and publish the plugin.

Also added links on how to find your PayPal API signature, password and
username.

Hi SSC3

Thank you for the plug in! 

When we have a payment logo defined (Payment Logos (/images/stories/virtuemart/payment))
The url for the image comes up with a http:// instead of https:// if the site is secured and IE comes up with message -"do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely"

Where do I need to change. Please advise.

Thank you

Could this be a template problem?

I assume you mean the logo that appears when the customer selects a payment method.

The plugin has no control over whether the payment logo uses http or https,

so it may be the template setting the logo to http when the rest of the page is https

This is now resolved!

For anybody else who has same issue-This is what I changed

$url = str_replace("http://","https://",$url);

If you are using a secure connection for the store or have

selected "Enable SSL for sensitive areas" in the Virtuemart setup then it should return to a secure page.

I tested with Virtuemart 2.0.24 and Joomla 2.5.14 using the default templates and it appeared to work ok.

If you set the plugin in debug mode and make a test order using https.

On the page that connects to PayPal you will see the debugging information.

Look for the payment request string.

&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_PAYMENTACTION=Sale&RETURNURL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yourstore.com%2Fjoomla_virtuemart_2%2Findex.php%3Foption%3Dcom_virtuemart%26view%3Dpluginresponse%26task%3Dpluginresponsereceived%26pectransid%3Dcba40313&CANCELURL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yourstore.com%2Fjoomla_virtuemart_2%2Findex.php%3Foption%3Dcom_virtuemart%26view%3Dpluginresponse%26task%3DpluginUserPaymentCancel%26on%3Dcba40313%26pm%3D43&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_INVNUM=cba40313&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_CUSTOM=&LOCALECODE=US&

If it contains

RETURNURL=https

PayPal will return to a secure page

RETURNURL=http

PayPal will return to a non secure page

Updates to the PayPal Express Checkout setup page and language files.

ssc3 thank you for the reply!  Sorry was away so could not reply earlier.

The RETURNURL=http when I debugged

Where does it get the url details?

The checkout page is https also the page where it shows connecting to paypal has got https.  Please advise.

Thank you.

It should normally take the URL from the web page it is on.

If you wish, send me a PM access to the site, and I will take a look at the problem for you, otherwise I am guessing as to the cause.

HI

I have PM'ed you.

I have selected "Enable SSL for sensitive areas" in the Virtuemart setup.

Thank you.

Is there any particular reason for the space between the street address and city fields on your Review and Place your Order page?
If not, is there a fix for this?
Such a glitch, minor to some, may not be that reassuring for the customer just prior to forking out some of their hard-earned.

[attachment cleanup by admin]

The space is reserved for the second line of the address.
In the example below "New Estate"
Only the first "2 Main St" is a compulsory field.

Hello


Vm 2.0.26d + Joomla 2.5.17

Is it possible that PPEC doesn't work correctly with smartaddons template?

Redirection to PP site once is successful, once not (in this case you have to choose payment method (I have ONE), save it, and you are redirected back to the shopping cart  page)

Any experiences with smartaddons, sj_bakery?

Thank you.

[ssc3]

Sorry I have not used that particular template before,

If you wish, send me a PM to access to the site, and I will take a look at the problem for you.

Is it possible for the customers address from their PayPal account to be used as the shipping or billing address in Virtuemart?
I've tried multiple settings in the configuration and it seems that none of them will take the address from the customers PayPal account and populate it as the shipping address in Virtuemart.  The best that I have been able to configure is that if the zip code doesn't match what is on their PayPal address, then the order won't go through.  Seems like it would be easiest if we can just use their Paypal address as the shipping address automatically.
Am I missing something or how can the PayPal address be used as the default shipping address in Virtuemart?
