I did a button of 3 options for payment (Buy Now) on PayPal, and when I pasted the code on my website.
Everything looks ok until you click on Buy now, It's transfer to error code on PayPal.
This is the link for the website: http://compx.co.il/?page_id=43
The error code that I get is:
1.Can not process your request at this time. Return to CompX IT Services and try another option.
2. PayPal can not process this transaction because of a problem on the site of the seller. Contact the seller directly to resolve this issue.
Any suggestion?

It's probably a character set issue. The default character set doesn't recognize them so you can fix this problem by changing the text of your option values or by changing the "charset" you're posting to PayPal.
You can follow these steps to modify the character set within your PayPal account:
- Log into your PayPal account at https://www.paypal.com
- Click the Profile link
- Click the 'Language Encoding' link under the Selling Preferences column
- Click the gray 'More Options' button
- Choose the same encoding you are using for your data off your site
- Select 'Yes' for 'Do you want to use the same encoding for data sent from PayPal to you (e.g., IPN, downloadable logs, emails)?'
- Click 'Save'
You can also define the charset value in the button code to match the charact values you have set in your options.

I have a problem passing a variable to the Paypal button so that the IPN sent by Paypal can send the data in the variable back to me.
However, when I tested the button, I get the error 'Data does not match input character set or default encoding. For more information, please contact the merchant.'
Can anyone help?
This might be related to the encoding that you have set in your PayPal account for IPN and other things . You can try to change the encoding as "UTF-8" from your PayPal account . Visit the below url to change the encoding settings in your PayPal account .
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/customerprofileweb?cmd=_profile-language-encoding
Once you visit the above url , click on the link which says "MOre Options "
I want to redirect visitor automatically after successful payment. There are two options in Paypal and I am confused.
The first one (in the buy now button editing section)
The second one (in profile > my selling tools)
But in the second one, you can only select 1 url and that will be for all buy now buttons. That won't be good. What is the correct way to do that ?
To make the auto return works you first need to turn on the "Auto Return" in your PayPal Profile and you can specify any return url there . Now if you have the multiple return url's then you should specify the return url in your button code in the section "Take my customer to this url when they finish checkout " . In this way it will always override the return url that you have mentioned in your PayPal Profile .
Well, you can either set it account-wide or per button: in fact, you can do both - have an account-wide default and a selective override for selected buttons. There is a third way: define the return_url variable in the POST data for the button yourself: this is another per-button override.
Which you use is up to you.
Setting Up Auto Return Using PayPal
To set up Auto Return:
Log in to paypal and click Profile.
Click the Website Payment Preferences link under Selling Preferences.
Click the On radio button to enable Auto Return.
Enter the Return URL.
Note: You must meet the Return URL requirements in order to set up Auto Return. Learn more about Return URL.
Sendbox Form Multiple Return Request URL's : If you are using different URL's for success/failure
It will automatically overwrite paypal specified URL.
I am trying to connect to Paypal to get a users consent to access their paypal payment history. The end goal would be to download payments received at the end of the day and take the info and dump it into a local database.

Login with paypal
Clicking on the link below returns:
Relying Party Validation error: redirect_uri provided in the request
does not match with the registered redirect_uri. Please check the
request.
I have logged into the Rest API, modified my app and made sure the redirect uri's for the test and live return link match that listed above. I have also made sure that the accept logins options are checked.
I have also tried the same code against their sandbox URL:
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/webapps/auth/protocol/openidconnect/v1/authorize
and instead of receiving the validation error, I get a page cannot be displayed.
I've tried every combination of things that I could think of
1) removing 1 cfset statement at a time to isolate a bad variable
2) making sure the return uri was a https vs http
3) switching to sandbox mode url and back
I've connected to other oauth2 api's in the past, but can't figure this one out.
This has changed a bit, and will presumably change again soon... but here's how you do this now.
Log into developer.paypal.com
Click on Dashboard (https://developer.paypal.com/developer/applications)
Click your app name under "Rest API Apps"
Scroll to the box at the bottom of the screen labeled "Sandbox (or Live) App Settings
Set the Return URL (Where users will be redirected after test transactions)
Click save
NOTE
This Return URL must exactly match the redirect_uri that you pass in via querystring (so it's confusing as to why you'd need to pass it in in the first place)
GOTCHA
At this point in time, the Return URL can seemingly never be updated. In my recent experience, if you don't type it correctly the first time you save it, you will have to create a new app.
The only time I have seen this error is when your redirect_uri does not match the one set in your applications profile.
You need to set this value inside of your app on the developer website.
Log into developer.paypal.com
Click Applications
Under My Rest Apps click your App name
Click Edit next to App redirect URLs
Set the return URLs for live or test
Save
I am also unable to get sandbox to work for my Log In with PayPal tests so it is not just you.
As of now (October 2015), the Dashboard Return URL should correspond to the redirect_uri. You can obtain the redirect_uri parameter in Firefox, by downloading the HTTPFox browser plugin. Then you start HTTPFox, point your browser to the OmniAuth login link, and view the scParams in the query string in the bottom-most link in the HTTPFox history to obtain the redirect_uri.
You have to literally make sure the Return URL is the exact same sequence of characters as the input redirect_uri. For example, if one points to "localhost" and the other to "127.0.0.1", it won't recognize the redirect_uri value as the same. It also won't recognize redirect_uri if only one of the redirect_uri values has a final slash.
Yes, the return URL was able to be updated in my experience.
I am hoping someone can help me with the following. I have a Buy Now button on a child dialog. Buy Now button displays PayPal page correctly. Now I am trying to do I cannot find info on it. I would like PayPal to return to the child dialog with a variable that will indicate success (payment made) or failure (payment cancelled by buyer). Is this possible?
The flow works like this:
Member logs in to my site
Member makes purchase via paypal
Member is added to a raffle prize.
The child window (dialog) remains open as PayPal is opened in another page. Regardless of whether the payment is successful or cancelled/ failed I would like to return to the child window with a value indicating the result of the payment. If the result is a success then some code is performed. If not then nothing is done and the child window remains open.

You need to add a return url input <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="return" value="URLspecificToThisTransaction">, look here https://cms.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_html_formbasics under Setting The Return URL on Individual Transaction heading
You also need Instant Payment Notification – notify_url
Instant Payment Notification comprises three parts:
Someone pays you.
PayPal POSTs FORM variables to a URL you specify that runs a program to process the variables.
You validate the notification.

I installed the payment option check/money order on the Zen Cart admin side, but it says
Check/Money Order (not configured - needs pay-to)
How can this be fixed?
In admin->modules->payment, select Check/Money order, hit the edit button on the right, and at the bottom on the right, put the name of the person to whom the check should be made payable.
