Hi everybody,
I`m working for a company and we have a working express checkout that works more or less flawlsessly, but from time to time we have requests that fail with "Express Checkout PayerID is missing". I have checked my logs and it is true that the PayerID is missing, but this is because the "GetExpressCheckoutDetails" request doesen't return any PayerID, but, strangely it returns ACK="Success". Does anybody have an idea what could be happening here?. Ist the problem on our side while sending the request, or am I missing something?.
The data I send with the request looks like that:
[METHOD] => GetExpressCheckoutDetails
[VERSION] => 53.0
[PWD] => XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
[USER] => XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
[SIGNATURE] => XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
[TOKEN] => XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The data I recieve in the response looks like that:
[TOKEN] => THE TOKEN I SENT
[TIMESTAMP] => XXXXXXXXXXXX
[CORRELATIONID] => XXXXXXX
[ACK] => Success
[VERSION] => 53.0
[BUILD] => 7319395
[CURRENCYCODE] => XXX
[AMT] => The value that was charged
[SHIPPINGAMT] => 0.00
[HANDLINGAMT] => 0.00
[TAXAMT] => 0.00
[INSURANCEAMT] => 0.00
[SHIPDISCAMT] => 0.00
Best regards, and thanks in advance
