I’m not able to get your plugin to work. Not sure if you could elaborate on anything more, but what version of the paypal sdk are you using? I have the paypal PHP NVP samples working fine with my api key, etc..

Hey isaldana,
Ok, it’s good to know that I had it setup somewhat correctly. I realized I was passing the ‘credit card number’ just as ” and it’s not passing back an error, saying this in invalid. On this note, how is the error reporting? I know this plugin is very early in it’s development, and definately like what I see so far!

Also, I’m not sure how much you’ve done with the PayPal’s API.. but I have another question (maybe a little off-subject..), do you know if it’s possible to store a user’s billing information with paypal when they sign up, and to maybe just store like a “third_party_token_id” thing to charge that user’s account?

Thanks for the quick response!
Joe

Hey again,
I have my $error variable being set as you mentioned. It’s not reporting properly, atleast in the test mode. ‘$cc->getErrorString’ doesn’t catch any errors, if the ‘credit card number’ is blank / invalid. However, it does catch an error if the ‘credit card type’ isn’t passed.. ? So, I have $error atleast being set, so I can post a generic error of “Invalid Credit Card”..

if(!$cc->chargeDirect()){
$error = $cc->getErrorString();
// set $error to not empty
$error .=” “;
}
return $error;

Also, I changed ‘$this->api_action’ to ‘Authorization’, not ‘Authorize’.. this works atleast for the sandbox / testing mode..

private function setActionAuthorize()
{
// $this->api_action = ‘Authorize’;
$this->api_action = ‘Authorization’;
}

Ok, sorry about that first issue I spoke of - I was received that error because I was sending the Credit Card Type as “Mastercard” not “MasterCard”. It’s perfect now. I just got it working on Paypal’s Live site.

My next issue is figuring out how charge users, without re-entering their credit card information. The express checkout stuff isn’t feasible, because I don’t want users going off to paypal.com.

I know it’s illegal to store their CC info, but any idea on how other companies rebill your account? Are those companies just allowed to store their CC info?

Some suggestions:
- Import the project to symfony svn
- Include the paypal SDK in the plugin package
- Set sandbox/live through symfony yaml files

Nice plugin…

Hello.

I try to use t\your plugin and gets the error “Security header is not valid”.
I think that it’s because my preferences.

Can you please explain what values can be ‘mod_registration_paypal_signature’ and ‘mod_registration_paypal_test’. Also i have no found any variables to set up certificate file.

I am having a heck of a time getting this to work. Using the sample SOAP SDK from Paypal works without a hitch. Using the “To use the Direct Payment method you can do something like the following:” section found on http://trac.symfony-project.com/trac/wiki/sfPaypalDirectPlugin as a starting place.

Here is my actions.class.conf

error = $this->charge_cc(’Membership fee’, ‘6′);
}

private function charge_cc($desc, $total)
{
$error = ”;
$cc = new sfPaypalDirect(sfConfig::get(’sf_data_dir’).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.’PayPal’);
// Setup API’s credentials
$cc->setUserName(’paypal_api1.xxxxxx’);
$cc->setPassword(’XXXXXXX’);
$cc->setSignature(’XXXXXXX’);
$cc->setTestMode(’false’);

$cc->setTransactionTotal(’5.00′);
$cc->setTransactionDescription(’test’);

$cc->setBillingFirstName(’Kevin’);
$cc->setBillingLastName(’XXXXX’);
$cc->setBillingStreet1(’My Real Address’);
$cc->setBillingStreet2(”);
$cc->setBillingCity(’My Real City’);
$cc->setBillingState(’XX’);
$cc->setBillingZip(’XXXXX’);

$cc->setCardType(’visa’);
$cc->setCardNumber(’My Real CC Number’);
$cc->setCardVerificationNumber(’My Real Verification Number’);
$cc->setCardExpirationMonth(’My Real Expiration Month’);
$cc->setCardExpirationYear(’My Real Expiration Year’);
//$cc->setBuyerIP(’192.168.1.1′);

if ( !$cc->chargeDirect() )
{
$error = $cc->getErrorString();
}
return $error;
}
}

Does this plugin work for the UK as well?

By Eric on Sep 6, 2007

Does your plugin support IPN ? If not, how can I add this support ?

By leroy on Sep 6, 2007

Ok, I’ve another question: the only possible currency is USD, because it hard codered in source code?

$BasicAmountType->setattr(’currencyID’, ‘USD’);

This is not too hard to add the opportunity to set another currency.

By leroy on Sep 8, 2007

Hello,

on chargeDirect() method, my screen went blank at line $BasicAmountType =& PayPal::getType(’BasicAmountType’);

I was already had a try and catch block but it still doesnt give me any error message. Do you know what went wrong with PayPal::getType(’BasicAmountType’)????

thanks

hello,

thanks for your helpfull plugin

i have a question about this
the plugin sends you to a paypal page where you havte to login or create an account
is there a solution to integrate in the plugin to let the user pay without account ?

thanks !

here is sense to use
$this->getController()->genUrl(’registration/cancelpaypal’, true)
instead
url_for(’registration/cancelpaypal’, true)
in action.
at this way you don’t need to load helper

By Ivan Zgoniaiko on Jun 18, 2008

A STRANGE THING…..

$cc = new sfPaypalDirect(sfConfig::get(’sf_data_dir’).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.’PayPal’);

This look having a problem: it’s not ’sf_data_dir’ but sf_symfony_data_dir.

By changing that, it works, when it didn’t worked with ’sf_data_dir’.
