Paypal - Error message *SOLVED*

Post by DadOfZelda » Wed Jun 27, 2018 8:47 am

Hi,

I tried to get the Paypal block work.

I have both tried with generated ID and mail but got the same error message (from PayPal) in both cases.

What I don't understand is if they mean my Meteotemplate site or Paypal site when they refer to "sellers site".

Well, I'm a newbie so there is possible a simple solution to this ;-)

Thanks
Christian

They are referring to the site that sent the request to them, so they are talking about your Meteotemplate website.

Hi Christian,

An obvious check I suppose, but you are definitely using the email address attached to your PayPal account?

Hi,

OK, what I thought also. But now know, thanks!

Yes, I'ts the same mail.

I have had other CMS running with my account before (as Joomla and Wordpress) and then no problem to mail. So I don't think there is any problem with my service provider. But you should never say never ;-).

I read in some thread about a problem with the test (in the template, but that mail worked anyway).

Is it possible to trigger a mail in any other way? I suppose that field then must have my mail within it?

paypal has changed to needing TLS 1.2 on a server
on the 28 june
(i.e security layer)
maybe that is part of the problem?

OK, hmm.

I tested to set up a blank page with the code from Paypal. Created a page in the same directory as the Paypal block.

Then all was ok. I was directed to PayPal with correct information. This with the same ID as I provided in config.php in the template.

Could it be some problem with the block? Or more likely, what do I do that is wrong? :-)

Now it's working, did a workaround.

Within payPalBlock.php I change the code for $payPalType==Button from the original to the code I got from PayPal.

Understand this could be a problem if the Block updates and/or with a new version of the template. But could not see what else to do.

Now I have to figure out how to get PayPal to open in a new Window :-)
