Problem with Billing addon and Paypal

Hello,
I seem to have everything configured properly and it's producing a form with what appears to be correct information. When I click on the the button I get a very unhelpful message that reads, "Things don't appear to be working at the moment. Please try again, later.

I'm not sure what you need from me, please ask and I'll make sure you get it.
Link to payment page: https://cp.xyonet.com/billing/payments/pay.php?id=
Paypal email: <[email protected]>
Paypal URL: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr
Paypal IPN: https://cp.xyonet.com/billing/payments/paypal/ipn.php

Anyone have any ideas?

 

The only thing that I can see in all of this is that the value for name looks like it needs to be urlencoded. the email address was valid, I changed it to protect the innocent.


<div id="paypal">

</form>
</div>

 

Just went to pay pal to try to trouble shoot the error. The sandbox gave me:
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/weba...AMOUNT_ERROR&mfid=1607653215406_f7b5fd3ef6d70

I changed the company name to Xyonet and dropped the rest of it. This looks like it's going for multi-item button instead of just a single item button. moreover, I can't find any information on the webscr api. It looks like it's been deprecated in favor of a REST API. A nealy incomprehensible API I might add.

 

Given what I can see from this page:
https://www.paypal-community.com/t5...ing-extra-fields-to-checkout-page/td-p/714647

It looks like the form fields should be named "amount" not "amount_1", "item_name" not "item_name_1" etc. We're really sending them there to pay the entire bill or at least part of it.

 

It may have been working for years, but I get this error:
"Something doesn’t look right. Your payment to this merchant can’t be completed using PayPal. Choose another way to pay."
On their website they are also saying this:
'The term "Legacy NVP" refers to the older integration method with PayPal known as Name-Value Pair (NVP) API. This method is being phased out and PayPal recommends upgrading to newer integration methods. For Log in with PayPal legacy integrations (prior to January 2018), you need to replace the '/connect' with '/signin/authorize' in your links. This is an example of how to update the integration for legacy Log in with PayPal. For more details on upgrading your legacy integration, you can refer to the relevant documentation.'

I can't make the payment bit work at all.

 

I have a call into paypal. Let's see what they have to say

 

Cool. Thanks. I got it working. Stupid problem. Currency was set to US instead of USD. That said, the button image link is broken. I have an image that I can use for the button. Can you please tell me which file I should edit to change it? Thanks, Curtis

 

Got the image and put it in the payments folder and linked it in the template. Thanks for your help.
