Question about mass payment

by Trondheim1 Contributor in Merchant Products and Services Archives
‎May-26-2018 11:01 AM
‎May-26-2018 11:01 AM
Hi   For each day we want to be able to send a payment together with order information to my supplier. So for each day I send payment to my supplier together with information about where the supplier should send the item. We are talking dropshipping here so each payment item must contain info about where to ship the product.   Been reading about mass payment and to my knowledge I can have 2 -3 custom field per payment item, but feel that is not enough   The best would if each individual order gave a paypal transaction id, just in case both we and the supplier can see the transaction inside paypal   Been thinking of using simple money transfer too, where I upload a file with info about where to send the items..   If we get 1000 ordes each day I cannot manully handle it, so I must prepare just in case ...

2 questions about recurring payment

by Trondheim1 Contributor in About Business

Hi   First question is: do PayPal send a callback to the server for each time the payment is collected? Would nice if it did, have some calculations that should be done on the server when the payment is collected. Can do it manually but that is not nice...   Second question, Below you see a subscription button I created, but something is wrong, When I test it I'm sent to paypal, I login but see no information about starting a subscription... I'm following this guide: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/Appx_websitestandard_htmlvariables/#recurring-payment-variables. I think there is a few fields I am missing, not sure which <form target="_self" action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="NOK"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="45245"> <input type="hidden" name="a3" value="116"> <input type="hidden" name="p3" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="t3" value="W"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_subscribeCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!"> <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"> </form>   ...

Price include VAT tax, How to exclude the VAT amou...

Lets say I have webshop selling shirts, and customers are used to see what the price is. Not easy to just specify $100 as the price and add 20% on that as VAT. That is not good, as the price the user think he should pay is not the correct price...   So I was hoping it was possble to exclude the VAT tax from the calculations If shirt costs $120 including 20% VAT. then it calculates that the price without the VAT is (lets say $95). Then it is the $95 price the discount should be based on, is it possible?   ... View more

One of the things I had done wrong was that I had checked for adding avanced variables, and took it for granted that they would be applied if I specified them in the button markup....   So I created a new buttton and this time I entered discount in the advanced variable field. No the discount is visible in the shopping cart   But there are issues: tax_rate was not applieed   As about I had to specify discount on the button, but magine if I had 8000 products, and each product have 8 types of discount, then it would take days to create all the buttons. Isn't there a better option where I specify discount in a input field? ... View more

Problem applying discount to shopping cart

I have a shopping cart where certain users should get certain discount.... So I created this "add to cart" button (I only tested this in sandbox):   <form target="paypal" action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" > <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick"> <input type="hidden" name="encrypted" value="value removed"> <input type="image" src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_cart_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!"> <input type="hidden" name="discount_amount" value="10"> <input type="hidden" name="tax_cart" value="25"> <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"> </form>   But no discount is visible in the shopping cart, with that I mean there is no extra ljne in the cart detailing the discount and the price for the item is still the same as without discount, what am I doing wrong?, Here in this markup I use discount_amount, but have also tried discount_rate_cart without any luck either   info about what fields to use I took from this page in the paypal doc: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/Appx_websitestandard_htmlvariables/#id08A6HH0D0TA ...
