PayPal Express Plugin - Extended Version (Free)

[ssc3]

But why do I have to press "Place Order" on a page titled "Review and Place your Order" after I'm back in my shop. That doesn't make any sense for me. Hey I payed already seconds before on PayPal.

You do not pay on PayPal, only review the order.

The final review and confirmation of the order takes place on the merchant's site.

That's the way PayPal designed Express Checkout to work.

Though "Review and Place your Order" might be better as "Final Confirmation of Order".

Thanks for the answer.

Yes that is true. Learned something new. Thank you !

Maybe an addition  "cancel" button (besides "Place order") would make that more clear. What do you think ?

Or another parameter in configuration for a free text on this form.

Just want to help to improve your plugin as I know how easy it is to loose customers if they don't understand the checkout process.

Cheers

Hi,

thanks for such a great plugin.
I'm a bit stuck... when I use live account all is fine, but when I use Sandbox it doesn't work -  Could the details be the same for both - Live and Sandbox?

I tried to create the Sandbox details, but not sure what steps I should take... I created the account buy I can not see the Api Signature there etc...

Please what I should do?
If the Sandbox has different details - can you tell me exactly what I should do please.
Thanks a lot!

The live and sandbox details are different.

Go to https://developer.paypal.com and create two accounts.

A pre-configured seller account and a pre-configured buyer account.

The seller account will contain the API sandbox username, password and signature.

Enter those in to the VirtueMart Control Panel.

Use the buyer account to make a purchase from the seller account.

Please need help, I have installed the PayPal Checkout Express (1.0.4)

The problem is it is not showing in my chart options. http://life2day.net/

So what must I do, is there settings missing or what. Please help for we are stuck. I have sent a screenshot of the details

The setup looks OK from what I can see.

Is "Published" set to Yes as in

http://plugins.online-store.co.uk/express_checkout_selected.jpg

After the plugin is enabled in the Joomal Plugin Manager it then should be published in Virtuemart.

Is there anyway to make this work with a standard 'business' paypal account, and not express? The default VM 2 PayPal plugin isn't cutting it for my client (they want product name, details, etc. to carry over to PP, which the default plugin does not).

Even better would be a way to turn "PayPal Account Optional: On". I've done this in my sandbox admin, but your plugin still requires the enduser to create a PayPal account.

hello,
a question for this wonderful plugin.
in a future version you can add a button to pay for your order at a later time?
In the version of (vm1x) this was possible, but in the version of (vm2x) can no longer do this.
In practice, if the customer does not confirm the payment with paypal would be able to pay for your order at a later time via a button (pay now) in the air account.
thank you!

You should seeing seeing an option called

"Don't have a PayPal Account?"

which when clicked on gives the customer the opportunity to pay by credit card.

This option is configured by the merchant's PayPal account and may not be available in every country.

delayed payments are not possible with this plugin. Sounds like you want a way of saving the original cart for later use. This would have to be done through Virtuemart itself and not the plugin.

Thank you for providing PayPal Express Checkout Plugin.

It has solved one of my big problems with using PayPal payment and shipping.

When I use the shipping by price with standar PayPal payment, it created 2 problems.

1) The VM invoice does not include the shipping fee.

2) I was unable to send the order invoice to the vendor so they can
see the order.

Using PayPal Express Checkout (PEC) now allows me to get an immediate copy of
order emailed to vendor for processing. This fixes one problem but created a
new one. Now I don't have a plugin or function to charge shipping rate by PRICE,
which PayPal provides via their standard payment method.

Can I set up shipping using PayPal and have it process with PEC and add it
to the total order? Do you know of a plugin to add the shipping by PRICE?

[ssc3]

In Virtuemart, click on Shop and then Shipment Methods.

Define a new shipment method for each price range.

Using "Minimum order amount" and "Maximum order amount"

You may need to define several shipping methods. One for each range of prices.
