Oh geez, this was so long ago that I can't even remember what site it was for. If I did manage to get it fixed I don't remember how. Sorry, but I wish you luck!

I'm trying to link my bank account and have received the two small deposits they said I would. I also received an email saying to "Log in to your PayPal account and click Confirm Bank Account". There wasn't an option to do so on that page, so I checked the forums and found a post suggesting to do it under "Wallet" but I don't have an option there either. I also tried going back to the page where I originally set up the link request but it's also not there. Where do I need to go to do the confirmation? Thanks!

I'm sending an HTTP request for Payflow Pro to the sandbox at https://pilot-payflowpro.paypal.com. The string I'm sending (with redactions) is below. The amount has two decimal places, as it should, but I'm still receiving an invalid amount response. Oddly, if I send it without the decimal -- just 48 -- it authorizes. I also tried using 48.16 just in case it didn't like having 0 cents, but that also got an Invalid Amount response. Everything I've read (and Googled up when researching this) says the amount should include a decimal to two places, so what might be going wrong here? I found one issue where it could throw an error if the address had a period in it (like Rd. Or Ave.) but I don't even have that parameter. Thanks!

Neither mc_shipping nor shipping appear to be coming though. This is what I get when I use mc_shipping: Any other suggestions?

If I test my site's IPN processor through PayPal's IPN simulator it works fine, but if I try it through my site using the sandbox it doesn't fire. I have an IPN set up in my account profile and am sending the same URL with notify_url when I upload my cart. <input type="hidden" name="notify_URL" value="https://mysite.com/paypal-notify.cfm"> I found this thread, but that has it working in sandbox but not live. Any ideas what I may be missing? Thanks!

I tried passing the "shipping" value and it's not coming through either. I'm passing the following: <input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="4.95"> PayPal is showing this:

I'm using this number from the profile page, which looks to be the one referenced... or am I misreading?

Thank you, AngelEye! Your answer to #2 worked perfectly. When I put the merchant ID in place of the email I get the following error after clicking the checkout button: "Things don't appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later." The code I'm using is as follows (with the actual ID, obviously): <input type="hidden" name="business" value="MERCHANTID123"> The variable mc_shipping doesn't appear to do anything on the payment side. I searched Google for it and found document reference here but it looks like it's something that's returned, not something that's sent. I also found some references to it as a form variable but all the posts are much older. Could that have been deprecated? Thanks!

My site is using a custom shopping cart, so I'm using the HTML variables explained on this documentation page. It's mostly going well, but I have a few questions: Is it possible to use the business ID rather than an email associated with the business? (Not a huge deal, I just don't like having email addresses out there for scrapers and such.) Is it possible to pass notes for an item? For example, someone orders item_name "T-shirt" and has specified in the shopping cart (saved as a string) that they want it in size small, the color red. Is there a way to pass that? I don't want them to have to make a choice at PayPal which is what the on_/os_ variables appear to be, or am I misunderstanding them? Let's say shipping for all orders is $5 no matter what. Can you set shipping for an entire order? It appears you can override tax, but I don't see an option for shipping. The way I have it set now is to set shipping_1 = 5.00 and no shipping for any subsequent items, but that feels kind of inaccurate. Thank you!
