Input variables for Paypal API plugin

Hello,

Exactly how do I put these input variables into the module:
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="35.00" />
<input type="hidden" name="currencyCode" value="USD" />
<input type="hidden" name="countryCode" value="US" />


The tutorial says to access the form source code but I don't know where that is. Is see the html code but that doesn't have table info.

Hi Manesh,

If they are 'fixed' data then use the 'Extra fields data' box:

amount=35.00
currencyCode=USD
countryCode=US

Hello,

Where is this box? can't seem to find it.

Hi Manesh,

Down at the bottom of this tab.

Hi sunman4008,

Mostly I think you need to check the details. You have CREDITCARDTYPE as 'American Express' but the PayPal docs say 'Amex.

And some codes appear to be included twice and to hae wrong values.

&COUNTRYCODE=US
&CURRENCYCODE=
&amount=amount: 
¤cyCode=currencyCode: 
&countryCode=countryCode:

You'll need to check the correct parameter names and make sure that they are only included once. If you put values in the Extra Fields Box then I think you need to leave the individual boxes blank.

Hello,

How do you edit or delete your own posts?

Hi Manesh,

I see edit and delete buttons to the top right of the post

Hello,

Not sure where the repeated currencycode is coming from? I did have a text box with it but I deleted it. I don't see in the field box either now so I should be gone. Also, the amount I have set to 1.00 but it shows = amount. Is that correct?


&COUNTRYCODE=US&CURRENCYCODE=&amount=amount: ¤cyCode=currencyCode:

Hi manesh,

Is that correct?

No

Bob

Hello

How about the other questions?

-manesh

Hello,

Also, if I leave them blank I get the following:
COUNTRYCODE=&CURRENCYCODE=&amount=amount: &countryCode=countryCode: ¤cyCode=currencyCode:


The extra data fields is not working the way it is suppose to. It seems like it adds data fields instead of giving them assignments. This
is why we have duplicates. Whenever, I put something in the extra data field, it gives me duplicates.

I have this in the extra data field with the fields blank
amount=1.00
countryCode=US
currencyCode=USD

It doesn't even assign the amount.

-Manesh

Hi sunman4008,

It looks as though Max has this working slightly differently to the other plugins. Looking at the ToolTips try putting US and USD directly into the upper boxes; add a hidden field to your form to set the amount and remove all the entries from the Extra Fields Data box.

Bob

Hi Bob,

I am confused.

For the CurrencyCode and CountryCode, you want me to put the values straight into the menu instead of setting a variable like codeCountry
and codeCurrency right?

For the amount, what you want me to do? Do the same?

If I do this, how do you change these values if you don't have an input field like first name?


-Manesh

Hello,

I set the Country/Currency Code in the menu. I then set the amount field to 1.00 and it didn't like that at all. It told me the following:

An error occured : This transaction cannot be processed. The amount to be charged is zero.

-Manesh

Is 1.00 suppose to be $1.00 or "1.00" or just 1.00? I have just 1.00

Hi Manesh,

For the amount format please check the PayPal docs. I would expect it to be 1.00

For the CurrencyCode and CountryCode, you want me to put the values straight into the menu instead of setting a variable like codeCountry and codeCurrency right?

I don't know what the 'menu' is but straight into the boxes on the Plugin configuration tab, Yes.

For the amount, what you want me to do? Do the same?

No, you can put it into an input. A hidden input if it is fixed or a visible one if it varies. (Just how you do it depends on how you are setting the price.)

Hello,

I got this to work by just using a javascript.
