Re: Paypal Adaptive Payments Going Live

Hi @Folajifadeyibi    Unfortunately, Adaptive Payments has been deprecated and unsupported for new accounts for several years. Specifically, this was disabled for new accounts on Sep 19th, 2016 due to a new product with greater features and reliability. You can see the "Unsupported" notice through this link where it outlines that it is not available in the red box at the top of the page.    The product that replaces this is called PayPal Commerce Platform For Marketplaces. This has numerous features and has greater ease of use. You can see all the information about it here.   I'm very sorry about this inconvenience but unfortunately, no configuration can be made for Adaptive Payments. Instead, look to PayPal Commerce Platform for the product that would be a great alternative.   Hope this helps! -Aaron ... View more

Re: Multiple items smart button

Hi @Santi76    Yes, this is definitely possible and it looks like you're on the right track!   Here is the documentation for the Item Object  which it looks like you've already been looking at based on how you've crafted your call. Keep in mind If you specify amount.breakdown, the amount equals item_total plus tax_total plus shipping plus handling plus insurance minus shipping_discount minus discount.   Is there a particular error you're running into? I would just try that out in sandbox, working the kinks out as you go. However that looks like a valid call to my eyes.   Hope that helps! -Aaron ... View more

Hi @ViVa-Kakele    PayPal attempts to emulate Production as closely as possible with sandbox operations. Because of this, there is no way to bypass a user logging in and approving an order so far as I know. Not only is this good for consistency across live and sandbox, but also for the security of PayPal, Merchants, and their Buyers so that internal processes aren't revealed to those testing these transactions.   It's purely so that testing in sandbox can be as close to the real thing as possible.   I hope this helps.  -Aaron ...

Hi @ginapala    For this one, you may need to reach out to support where they can help you with this account specific issue. They'll be able to tell you if there's a problem with the account or any next steps that need to be taken. Click the "Help and Contact" link at the bottom of this page to get started.   Hope this helps! -Aaron ... View more

Re: Payment with different currency other than USD

Hi @SantoshKrSinha  Welcome to the forums!    In terms of support for those currencies, that shouldn't be a problem at all while implementing the Rest API. You can refer to this link which talks about the currency codes supported for the API. Simply pass the correct corresponding currency code based on the transaction and you should have no issues.   I hope this helps! -Aaron ... View more

Hi @PXU    PayPal no longer provides downloadable guides like that. This is so that merchants can go to this page and know they're seeing the most up to date version of the documentation.   For up to date Payflow Pro information, refer to that page in the future. You can download or print various pages that are within there if you like.   Hope that helps! -Aaron ... View more

Hi @LAusler    Any time a suspicious email is received, I would not recommend clicking anything in the email. Instead, I would recommend taking a screenshot of the email and then contacting PayPal using the "Help & Contact" button at the bottom of this page. You can provide the screenshot to them and they can verify if an account change was made to your account and they can let you know whether or not further action needs to be taken.   Hope this was helpful! -Aaron ...

Re: Empty IPN response using php / curl

by PayPal Employee MTS-Aaron in NVP/SOAP APIs
‎Feb-26-2020 10:23 AM
‎Feb-26-2020 10:23 AM
Hi @musaffar    When looking at this, the URL kind of stuck out to me. The documentation here seems to say the link should be "https://ipnpb.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr (for live IPNs)" along with the prefixing the returned message with the cmd=_notify-validate. I guess I'd try a few different variations just to see if I couldn't get some response from there.   Also, refer to some of this information to see if you are seeing any IPN messages sent in your IPN history. Just something to check in case your notification URL is different in your account or for some reason there's a bigger reason that IPNs aren't getting sent.   Hope this helps! -Aaron ... View more

Hi @rbajrac    From the looks of that error, your account may not be enabled for that feature.   My recommendation would be to reach out to support using the "Help & Contact" link at the bottom of this page and ask for the Mass Payment feature to be enabled on your account. That is the particular feature that this plugin seems to rely on to "payout" vendors.    Hope this helps and let me know how it turns out! -Aaron ... View more

Hi @orlandowhisper    Accounts need to be enabled for these types of transactions. To do this, you'll need to contact us in order for the change to be made.   Please refer to the "Help and Contact" button at the bottom of this page and reach out to PayPal Support where they are able to help in configuring your account.   I hope this helps! - Aaron ...
