Paypal payment error

[mozaco]

hi all,

i'm still using PaypalV1.6. It shows "payment error" to the customer but in fact in paypal account it shows payment completed. Below message appears in order:

"Verification failure (using cURL). Returned: cURL error:Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurlThe PayPal transaction could not be VERIFIED."

Could someone help...thank you very much

p/s: previously i don't have this problem.

I'm getting the payment error with 1.7.1, Sorry to bump the post but there doesn't seem to be an answer elsewhere!

This is hosting related, not really related to the cart. You can get around it by modifying the validation.php file, or you can find out from your hosting company why they don't let you make an ssl cURL connection.

In /modules/paypal/validation.php find the following:

// Getting PayPal data...
if (function_exists('curl_exec'))
{
   // curl ready
   $ch = curl_init('https://' . $paypalServer . '/cgi-bin/webscr');

   // If the above fails, then try the url with a trailing slash (fixes problems on some servers)
    if (!$ch)
       $ch = curl_init('https://' . $paypalServer . '/cgi-bin/webscr/');

   if (!$ch)
       $errors .= $paypal->getL('connect').' '.$paypal->getL('curlmethodfailed');
   else
   {
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $params);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

       $result = curl_exec($ch);

       if (strtoupper($result) != 'VERIFIED')
           $errors .= $paypal->getL('curlmethod').$result.' cURL error:'.curl_error($ch);
       curl_close($ch);
   }
}

You'll notice the two lines that have:

$ch = curl_init('https://' . $paypalServer . '/cgi-bin/webscr (etc.)

Try changing the https to http.

Tried that and had no luck! Thanks anyway

I changed the two lines as specified and still getting the same error!

Are you getting the same error as the original poster, or a different payment error message?

I was getting the same error on 1.37 - and last week I installed the latest Paypal module (add on page) and that solved the issue. It has since created many 10417 errors - which is a general error - but did solve the one you are seeing.

[AbeP]

Yes, updated the paypal module to 2.0 and it's returned to 10417 error. Anyone know what this is about?

EDIT:

Fixed it, you have to go into your paypal account and give the API_username access (Its on the same page as "View API" or whatever the button is.

Anyway I am DELIGHTED, and the 10417 errors are valid, just tried again with a card with no money on and it returned the 10417, which according to paypal means basically that they have no money or the card didn't get authorised.

Cheers

Its a general error - could be the customer did not have enough funds, address issues etc. (I did a search on the paypal site) but the error message does not tell you what the issus is - pretty pointless.

I have seen a huge rise in this error since the update, and it does not appear to happen on all orders - just random few. I have tried to work out if it is a PS module issue or a Paypal issue by talking to the customer, and a few just sent the funds via Paypal to my account with no issue - which does lead me to think its a PS issue.

I keep getting this error message in my store. I put a product in the cart, and go through all the screens and get all the way to the "Choose Your Payment Method" page. Pay Pal (either one) is their choice. But either one I click sends me to error page every time. (both http and https, both regular paypal and the one where they can use any credit card.
Any solutions?
thanks,

I'd say you have to set the return url for IPN in paypal settings...
