Hi,
​
i'm sucessfully using paypal payments with chronoforms. Great so far.
​
Now i would like to use the solution on different sites for different customers with different paypal accounts ("Business email" in Paypal Redirect and "Receiver email" in IPN).
So i set up a variable holding this particular information (email as string).
​
Unfortunately it seems that this is not possible at the moment?
It only works if i put an email inside these fields, especially IPN
​
If i put the created variable holding the business email in Paypal Redirect i'm transfered to the correct sandbox account. But if i receive the corresponding IPN i only get the following error in the debugger:

paypal_ipn._error = "INVALID email"

It would be great if this bug will be fixed in the near future. For me it seems that this is a bug because the redirect works with the variable.
​
Thanks for your great work, i appreciate it!
​
Best regards,
Stefan

The topic needs to be changed: 🙄[h1]Paypal Redirect and IPN not configurable with variable as business email and receiver email[/h1]

Sorry, what do you mean by a variable ? you are supposed to provide the PayPal account email address in that setting!

I want to use {data:my_paypal_email_variable} instead of my paypal email address.
The variable my_paypal_email_variable holds the paypal email address.

Why would you want to do that?
​
Also it will only be available on form submit if you're using a data call, and will not be available in the IPN event. You can't store it in session because the session is tied to the user machine and PayPal will have a different identifier.
​
MAYBE you can use different IPN events, one for each?

Why would you want to do that?

Please see above:

This may be correct but IMHO this is not my use case:
I'm using a code block "getConfiguration". Inside i set all related values to the needed variables in IPN. In this custom php code block i assign "my_paypal_email_variable" with the merchant paypal e-mail address.
​
As i mentioned before this works in paypal redirect but not in ipn.
​
Thanks for investigation!

In libraries\cegcore2\admin\extensions\chronofc\functions\paypal_ipn\paypal_ipn_output.php you need to change line 96 from

if(empty($function['receiver_email']) OR ($function['receiver_email'] == $this->data('receiver_email'))){

to

if(empty($this->Parser->parse($function['receiver_email'])) OR ($this->Parser->parse($function['receiver_email']) == $this->data('receiver_email'))){

​
This change will need to be redone every time Chronoforms or ChronoConnectivity is updated.

Hi, thanks for this proposal but changing core libraries after every update is not "professional".
Maybe this change can be made within a future release of CF?
​
Would be great!

Hi, any news on this?
Is it possible to integrate this into the core?

Best regards
