In the past I have used html forms to pass hidden 'custom' and 'invoice' parameters to Paypal during Credit Card transactions, using Paypal-Pro, so that I can use them in the IPN response later. However I can't seem to work out how to set/send these two parameters using Omnipay. If anyone could point me in the right direction here it would be appreciated.
See duplicate posting:
https://github.com/omnipay/paypal/issues/10
You can use:
$request->setTransactionId();
$request->setDescription();
or
$data = $request->getData();
$data['RANDOM_DATA'] = 'hello';
$request->sendData($data);
instead of simply calling $request->send().

I am using Paypal IPN
I have written a script that works fine with the Web Accept transaction type when used with the simulator. I get the variables back and process them etc However when I switch the transaction type to express checkout it stops working. Can anyone help me figure out why?
My code is in PHP
The question is sort of old, but in case others land on this page with the same problem... If you're using the IPN Listener code from the official PayPal Developer site, you probably still have some code in there that's expecting specific form POST items, and that's the problem. Those items do not exist in the IPN Simulator's Express Checkout messages. Here's the problematic code:
// assign posted variables to local variables
$item_name = $_POST['item_name'];
$item_number = $_POST['item_number'];
The Express Checkout form post will not have item_name nor item_number, but it will have item_name1 and item_number1. So, a good solution would be to take out all those lines of code, in that section, that specify form field names, and instead iterate through all the form fields. In the loop, you can test for existence of expected items, if needed. Or, if you just want to do something with the full set of form items, you could do that, like this:
foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {
$strOutput .= $key . " = " . $value . "|";
}
FYI... The problematic code was found here:
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/ipn/ht_ipn/
...and here:

I'm trying to find a way to pass a custom parameter through paypal's express checkout using NVP.
I've tried using the deprecated PAYMENTREQUEST_n_CUSTOM, the supposedly not deprecated PAYMENTREQUEST_0_CUSTOM and the CUSTOM parameters but none of them worked.
The only ways I can see right now (which I'd rather not use) are:
1. use one of the other parameters that I'm not using (like shipping)
2. use the return url and add to it the parameter as a GET parameter
3. use sessions.
According to the error page my version is 92.0.
And the rest of the parameters are:
$nvpstr="&SHIPPINGAMT=0&L_SHIPPINGOPTIONNAME0=test&L_SHIPPINGOPTIONAMOUNT0=0&REQCONFIRMSHIPPING=0&NOSHIPPING=1&L_SHIPPINGOPTIONISDEFAULT0=true&ADDRESSOVERRIDE=1$shiptoAddress&".
"&ALLOWNOTE=0&CUSTOM=".$CUSTOM.
"&L_NAME0=".$L_NAME0."&L_AMT0=".$L_AMT0."&L_QTY0=".$L_QTY0.
"&MAXAMT=".(string)$maxamt."&AMT=".(string)$amt."&ITEMAMT=".(string)$itemamt.
"&CALLBACKTIMEOUT=4&CALLBACK=https://www.ppcallback.com/callback.pl&ReturnUrl=".$returnURL."&CANCELURL=".$cancelURL .
"&CURRENCYCODE=".$currencyCodeType."&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_PAYMENTACTION=".$paymentType;
Don't mix PAYMENTREQUEST_0_* variables and their deprecated counterparts -- use one or the other. (E.g., don't use PAYMENTREQUEST_0_PAYMENTACTION and AMT in the same API call -- either use PAYMENTREQUEST_0_PAYMENTACTION and PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT, or use PAYMENTACTION and AMT.)
This appears to be the SetExpressCheckout call. You can pass a CUSTOM value in here, but if you do, the only place it will show up is in the response to your GetExpressCheckoutDetails call. You need to supply the CUSTOM value in your DoExpressCheckoutPayment call in order for it to be recorded to your account.
I am using a paypal ipn script i found here
http://coderzone.org/library/PHP-PayPal-Instant-Payment-Notification-IPN_1099.htm
I am aware that I can send information to paypal and get a response. It states I can get the information back using $_POST . My query is how do I specify the UK currency?
Also wanted to clarify a minor point. Am I correct that this is how i can confirm it was a success.
if ($_POST['payment_status'] == 'completed')
// Received Payment!
// $_POST['custom'] is order id and has been paid for.
}
This might be a little late for you sorry, but just in case - I currently use "currencyCode" = > "AUD" and it is working in the sandbox.
There's a full list of the currency codes available at PayPal
For yours, I'm guessing it would be:
$p->add_field('currencyCode', 'GBP');
As for your question about the IPN itself, it looks like you're on the right track. It will depend on the data you're getting back and whether you're interested in the individual transactions (if using adaptive payments) or if you're reversing them all on error etc. The easiest way to determine what you'll need to do is to simply display or log all the post data so you can see how it's constructed.
You'll also need to set it up so that the script is accessible by PayPal. You'll then pass the full URL of this script to the "notify_url" parameter and send it off to PayPal. Once the payment has completed PayPal will send a bunch of information to your script so that you can process it.
Unfortunately I'm not from a PHP background so I can't give you the exact code you'll need. Also note that there are a lot of security issues that you'll want to look into before going to a production environment. Not sure if you already intend to do this with that validateIPN function, but you need to ensure that you can tell whether it comes from PayPal and not a malicious user. One way would be to pass a value using the custom attribute and have PayPal pass this back to you, however you'd be much better off using the API certificates etc.
If you haven't already, it may be worth checking out a few of the sample applications PayPal has done up, there seem to be quite a few PHP ones.
Let me know if you need anything else,
Use this, it works for me
$p->add_field('currency_code', 'GBP');
You need to use PayPal Adaptive Payments, IPN wouldn't help.
PayPal Adaptive Payments
Using PayPal PHP library then it could look like this:
// Create an instance, you'll make all the necessary requests through this
// object, if you digged through the code, you'll notice an AdaptivePaymentsProxy class
// wich has in it all of the classes corresponding to every object mentioned on the
// documentation of the API
$ap = new AdaptivePayments();
// Our request envelope
$requestEnvelope = new RequestEnvelope();
$requestEnvelope->detailLevel = 0;
$requestEnvelope->errorLanguage = 'en_GB';
// Our base amount, in other words the currency we want to convert to
// other currency type. It's very straighforward, just have a public
// prop. to hold de amount and the current code.
$baseAmountList = new CurrencyList();
$baseAmountList->currency = array( 'amount' => $this->amount, 'code' => 'GBP' );
// Our target currency type. Given that I'm from Mexico I would like to
// see it in mexican pesos. Again, just need to provide the code of the
// currency. On the docs you'll have access to the complete list of codes
$convertToCurrencyListUSD = new CurrencyCodeList();
$convertToCurrencyListUSD->currencyCode = 'USD';
// Now create a instance of the ConvertCurrencyRequest object, which is
// the one necessary to handle this request.
// This object takes as parameters the ones we previously created, which
// are our base currency, our target currency, and the req. envelop
$ccReq = new ConvertCurrencyRequest();
$ccReq->baseAmountList = $baseAmountList;
$ccReq->convertToCurrencyList = $convertToCurrencyListUSD;
$ccReq->requestEnvelope = $requestEnvelope;
// And finally we call the ConvertCurrency method on our AdaptivePayment object,
// and assign whatever result we get to our variable
$resultUSD = $ap->ConvertCurrency($ccReq);
$convertToCurrencyListUSD->currencyCode = 'EUR';
$resultEUR = $ap->ConvertCurrency($ccReq);
// Given that our result should be a ConvertCurrencyResponse object, we can
// look into its properties for further display/processing purposes
$resultingCurrencyListUSD = $resultUSD->estimatedAmountTable->currencyConversionList;
$resultingCurrencyListEUR = $resultEUR->estimatedAmountTable->currencyConversionList;
I am currently testing an online store using a custom cart within paypal sandbox.
I am able to go trough all transcation steps properly
setExpressCheckout-> pay -> DoExpressCheckout.
During the DoExpressCheckout step I think it would be the good time to update my database with the order. For that I use the GetExpressCheckoutDetails function to retrieve the content of the transaction.
Sadly this function return everything paypal has to offer but miss the content of my cart. All i can get is the detail of one item. If the transaction involve multiple items i would only get the details of the first one.
Here is my code (mostly taken from paypal samples) :
$token =urlencode( $_REQUEST['token']);
$payerId=urlencode( $_REQUEST['PayerID']);
$getExpressCheckoutDetailsRequest = new GetExpressCheckoutDetailsRequestType($token);
$getExpressCheckoutReq = new GetExpressCheckoutDetailsReq();
$getExpressCheckoutReq->GetExpressCheckoutDetailsRequest = $getExpressCheckoutDetailsRequest;
$paypalService = new PayPalAPIInterfaceServiceService();
$getECResponse = $paypalService->GetExpressCheckoutDetails($getExpressCheckoutReq);
$details = $getECResponse->GetExpressCheckoutDetailsResponseDetails;
// $details->PaymentDetails->PaymentDetailsItem this array should hold all items details
// sadly it always have 1 element instead of the full content of my cart :(
$orderTotal = $details->PaymentDetails->OrderTotal;
$PaymentDetails= new PaymentDetailsType();
$PaymentDetails->OrderTotal = $orderTotal;
//
Some stuff with payment details
//
$DoECRequestDetails = new DoExpressCheckoutPaymentRequestDetailsType();
$DoECRequest = new DoExpressCheckoutPaymentRequestType();
$DoECRequest->DoExpressCheckoutPaymentRequestDetails = $DoECRequestDetails;
$DoECReq = new DoExpressCheckoutPaymentReq();
$DoECReq->DoExpressCheckoutPaymentRequest = $DoECRequest;
$DoECResponse = $paypalService->DoExpressCheckoutPayment($DoECReq);
Do i miss a step or call a bad function. Because i tried to print_r every variable i came across and the full content of my cart was nowhere to be found. I find this strange since the 'orderTotal' of the transaction match with my original cart. I could store my original order during the SetExpressCheckout step but since paypal already have those values i find it redundant.
As a last resort I did found the content of my cart using $paypalService->getLastRequest() but seriously this is the raw XML returned by paypal and the api should be parsing it properly :(.
Thanks for reading
I had this exact same issue - while the XML returned by PayPal is fine, their PHP SDK doesn't parse it properly, so you can only ever see the last item in GetExpressCheckout.
I've posted a fix for this problem in an issue on PayPal's GitHub, please check it out:
https://github.com/paypal/SDKs/issues/37
I need to determine when a user's paypal subscription is set to end/renew. I know that the easiest way to do this would be to extrapolate it from the time when the initial subscr_signup gets sent through, based on the subscription interval value, but because I'm working with some 3rd party software, it's not possible (or at least, not ideal).
It seems to me that I ought to be able to send a query to paypal to get this info based on txn_id, but I can't find any documentation that implies that this is the case.
if you send a request with:
TRXTYPE = R -this is to tell it recurring profiles
ACTION = I - this is to tell it to make an inquiry
ORIGPROFILEID = XXX - this is the profile you want to look up
PAYMENTHISTORY = N - this will tell it not to return payment history
from there the array will return something like this:
RESULT[1]=0
RPREF[12]=XXXXX
PROFILEID[12]=XXX
STATUS[6]=ACTIVE
PROFILENAME[1]=0
START[8]=10182006
TERM[1]=0
NEXTPAYMENT[8]=10182009
PAYPERIOD[4]=QTER
TENDER[1]=C
AMT[5]=0.00
ACCT[16]=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
EXPDATE[4]=0101
AGGREGATEAMT[6]=0.00
AGGREGATEOPTIONALAMT[5]=0.00
MAXFAILPAYMENTS[1]=0
NUMFAILPAYMENTS[1]=1
RETRYNUMDAYS[1]=4
NAME[11]=BLAHBLAH
ZIP[5]=12345
What you are looking for is the START, but pretty much all the items in the array are self explanitory.
