Thank you @MTS_MichaelL for the explanation, though I am sorry to hear that. I noticed the hints you mention but it might be helpful to explicitly highlight in the documentation that this kind of functionality is not supported. I found several questions throughout the forums trying to achieve exactly the same thing as I do because the documentation is a bit confusing about this.   Thanks!   ... View more

Hi,   I need to dynamically generate buttons to upload the whole cart at once and then proceed to the payment. For that purpose, there is a CART button with upload=1.   When I do this in HTML without any security, it works as expected.   <form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> <input type="hidden" name="upload" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="my-business-account"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name_1" value="Item name 1"> <input type="hidden" name="amount_1" value="1.00"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name_2" value="Item name 2"> <input type="hidden" name="amount_2" value="2.00"> <input type="submit" value="PayPal"> </form> However, when I try to create exactly the same button but encrypted through NVP Button Manager API, it fails.   curl https://api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com/nvp \ --data-urlencode USER=<user> \ --data-urlencode PWD=<pass> \ --data-urlencode SIGNATURE=<signature> \ --data-urlencode METHOD=BMCreateButton \ --data-urlencode VERSION=204.0 \ --data-urlencode BUTTONCODE=ENCRYPTED \ --data-urlencode BUTTONTYPE=CART \ --data-urlencode L_BUTTONVAR0=business=<account> \ --data-urlencode L_BUTTONVAR1=upload=1 \ --data-urlencode L_BUTTONVAR2=item_name_1=ABC \ --data-urlencode L_BUTTONVAR3=amount_1=1 \ --data-urlencode L_BUTTONVAR4=item_name_2=DEF \ --data-urlencode L_BUTTONVAR5=amount_2=1 Invocation of this command returns this error in both the sandbox and the production environments.   TIMESTAMP=2017-07-20T20:18:06Z CORRELATIONID=a1ccba5db437c ACK=Failure VERSION=204.0 BUILD=33063964 L_ERRORCODE0=11929 L_SHORTMESSAGE0=Invalid Data L_LONGMESSAGE0=A cart button must have an item name and amount specified.

For future reference, there is the issue resolution from PM by MTS_Ciaran:   Thanks, so this looks like a bug on the sandbox from what I can see. The issue is that the account is CZ and for some reason we're not allowing the button creation because of that. It doesnt look to be the same on the live environment so I would suggest using a US account for testing and once live the CZ account shouldn't be an issue.    I'll work internally to get the sandbox corrected for this.  ...

@MTS_Ciaran Yes, that's what I thought and did as the first thing when I tried to implement it. However, it doesn't work. To be sure, I re-run in now:   Request curl https://api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com/nvp \ -d USER=<my-user> \ -d PWD=<my-pass> \ -d SIGNATURE=<my-secret> \ -d VERSION=51.0 \ -d METHOD=BMCreateButton \ -d BUTTONCODE=ENCRYPTED \ -d BUTTONTYPE=CART \ -d BUTTONSUBTYPE=PRODUCTS \ -d L_BUTTONVAR1=item_name%3Dshoehorn \ -d L_BUTTONVAR2=amount%3D1464.46 \ -d L_BUTTONVAR3=tax=%3D21 \ -d L_BUTTONVAR4=item_number%3D123456 Response: TIMESTAMP=2017-07-04T15:05:59Z CORRELATIONID=d0c4c31e39082 ACK=Failure VERSION=51.0 BUILD=33063964 L_ERRORCODE0=11945 L_SHORTMESSAGE0=Invalid Data L_LONGMESSAGE0=The button country and language code combination specified is invalid.

@MTS_Ciaran That's odd. Yes, I am using command curl in Linux exactly as I posted in the previous post.   As you were suggesting, I tried a different account. I created a new account with US as an origin and it worked! So I created another account in Czech (which I need because of our clients) and it didn't work again. I got stuck with the previous error.   TIMESTAMP=2017-07-04T12:50:41Z CORRELATIONID=294ed0bd7d3cb ACK=Failure VERSION=51.0 BUILD=33063964 L_ERRORCODE0=11945 L_SHORTMESSAGE0=Invalid Data L_LONGMESSAGE0=The button country and language code combination specified is invalid. L_SEVERITYCODE0=Error So obviously, this is related to that the account resides in Czech. Unfortunately, as it is "must have", what can I do with that? Do you have any thoughts, please? ...

Hi @MTS_Ciaran thanks for your reply. However, none of those actually helped. Here is what I tried:   1) re-run the previous command (see in older posts) and there is the response   TIMESTAMP=2017-07-04T11:46:25Z CORRELATIONID=bf0478fc864d0 ACK=Failure VERSION=51.0 BUILD=33063964 L_ERRORCODE0=11945 L_SHORTMESSAGE0=Invalid Data L_LONGMESSAGE0=The button country and language code combination specified is invalid. L_SEVERITYCODE0=Error Then I changed the variable in the request to: BUTTONCOUNTRY=CZ And the reply is here: TIMESTAMP=2017-07-04T11:46:46Z CORRELATIONID=f833c70912ba6 ACK=Failure VERSION=51.0 BUILD=33063964 L_ERRORCODE0=11945 L_SHORTMESSAGE0=Invalid Data L_LONGMESSAGE0=The button country and language code combination specified is invalid. L_SEVERITYCODE0=Error I tried all sorts of combinations of BUTTONCOUNTRY and LC (locale) before starting this thread, none of those helped.    Unfortunately, the user account has to be in Czech because our clients (multiple) have them.   Thanks   ...
