Paypal description

[unclegusy2k]

Hi there,

I have almost configured most things with paypal and presta shop now but there are still a couple of things i need help with.

When an item is bought and the buyer is sent to paypal to pay, the item description just says "my cart" and dosent actually have the actual item desription.

Any idea's???

Many thanks

Hey,
You have edit the paypal.tpl file to specify each of the cart items as shown here:

<input type="hidden" name="item_name_1" value="{$idProductAttribute}" />


Here's links to PayPals instructions which helped me set this up in the paypal.tpl file:

1) PayPal Integration Guide:
https://www.paypalobjects.com/WEBSCR-600-20091209-1/en_US/pdf/PP_WebsitePaymentsStandard_IntegrationGuide.pdf

2) PayPal HTML Variables:

The only problem I am having now is figuring out how to get Paypal to recognize vouchers as a valid cart item.
Good luck and let me know if I can help further or if you figure out the voucher error.

Thanks,
Kimerlin

I hope I can still get some help on this issue. I'm still not clear where to post this code in the paypal.tpl file. Also do I use this format:
<input type=“hidden” name=“item_name_1” value=”{$idProductAttribute}” />
<input type=“hidden” name=“item_name_2” value=”{$idProductAttribute}” />
<input type=“hidden” name=“item_name_3” value=”{$idProductAttribute}” />
...and so on
