   Awesome module!!! Thankyou so much for developing this. I was going to do it myself, but my php skills aren’t all that and it would have taken me forever!

2. Steve "DFW Products" January 2nd, 2010

   I just found this MOD for prestashop, the Paypal WPP and it works GREAT! THANK YOU so much for finally bringing the problem to an end. I have heard and spoken to alot of people who love Prestashop and need the Paypal WPP to make it happen. Finally its come to pass, we can use prestashop with our WPP finally. THANKS GUYS and please keep up the great work.

   Hi Dave

   Just got to say a big thanks for this module and to keep up the good work……

5. Tony January 9th, 2010

   Hi,
   I tumbled into this blog from the prestashop forum and wao, this module is exactly what I have been waiting for 6 months! Definitely will try and feedback. GREAT, GREAT!
   Ah, would you consider to work on some small projects for our website? I will send you a private email about this.
   Thanks for a great module for all the presta fans out there.
   Cheers,
   Tony

   Hi Guys,
   Any help please on this getHttpHost() line that needs to be added? Not sure where it goes but when I FTP the module to my site, the modules area in PrestaShop crashes.

   Help would be very appreciated.
   Many MANY thanks

9. Dave Sniper January 18th, 2010

   The easiest way to add the function getHttpHost() is to search for the line below in class/Tools.php class file.

   1	static public function completeMetaTags($metaTags, $defaultValue)

   and add the following code above it

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

   static public function getHttpHost($http = false, $entities = false) { $host = (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST'] : $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']); if ($entities) $host = htmlspecialchars($host, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8'); if ($http) $host = (Configuration::get('PS_SSL_ENABLED') ? 'https://' : 'http://').$host; return $host; }

   Download the text version of this function here

    You Clearly Are A Legend,
    The code worked perfectly, thanks a million.

12. Tanya January 19th, 2010

    I am super excited about getting your mod installed, thank you so much for the FREE and great contribution to presta. I was at my whits end…then someone told me about your mod

    Was wondering…any way to make it run with USD currency?

    thnx again my friend

13. bob January 19th, 2010

    a few hints for further development

14. Bris January 19th, 2010

    Hi
    How do i change the default currency from USD to EUR?
    Many thanks

15. Lou January 19th, 2010

    Hi All,
    I have the module installed, My Pay Pal Pro API certificate details entered, my Cardinel Centinel details entered and once I try a test sale, I am directed to an error 500 screen?

    Does this module require that you have SLL via your host?
    And is so, does your site have to have a seperate IP address to work correctly with SLL.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated as Ive now just slumped in my chair, out of ideas.

    Thanks,
    Lou

16. Lou January 19th, 2010

    I managed to solve my problem and thought I’d share (although Im pretty sure most of you guys know this).
    Hosting permissions were set incorrectly at 755. They should be set to 644.
    The module is live and running.
    Many thanks again

17. Dave Sniper January 19th, 2010

    @ Bris: You can change the default currency via Back Office > Payment > Currencies restrictions and simply tick for desired currency.
    @Lou: Which version of Prestashop are you using? You don’t need to have SSL for this module, however, it is recommended for all online store anyway.

18. Lou January 19th, 2010

    Hi Dave,
    Yes your right. I didnt need SSL and it works brilliantly! Its been advised though that I do set up SSL as Im taking cards, but cant rave enough about the module, awesome!

19. Tanya January 20th, 2010

    in regards to this post

    http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/38359/#171104

    i cannot see paypal pro as an option at Cardinal Centinel
    i see
    paypal api – soap/nvp
    payflow SDK
    unknown

    so do i just selected the ‘unknown’?

    thanks muchly

20. Dave Sniper January 20th, 2010

    @Tanya: Just use Paypal API

21. Tanya January 20th, 2010

    thank ya kindly Dave

    heres that hug btw

22. bob January 21st, 2010

    Just wondered if this can be used in conjunction with any of the one-page-checkout / guest check out mods out there? If so, any tips?

23. Dave Sniper January 21st, 2010

    @Bod: I’ve never tried it but I think it should.

24. GIANNI January 22nd, 2010

    Hi all! Important question!
    Since in the title there’s US&UK, my question is whether I can pay with this module in other countries (Slovakia).
    Thank you.

25. GIANNI January 22nd, 2010

    Hi all!
    I’m just trying to get this module working on my site, but before the setup, there’s one important question – in the title of this article there’s “US&UK” -does it mean only payments coming from these countries are enabled? What about others (e.g. Slovakia)??

    Thanks for you help! Appreciated a lot!

26. Dave Sniper January 22nd, 2010

    @GIANNI: You would need to modify the code a bit for your country’s currency.

27. Stig January 23rd, 2010

    How do I know the module is working correctly on my site? I didn’t receive any documentation from Cardinal Centinel so I don’t have the numbers for any test credit or debit cards to run through my shop. I’ve run test credit cards using the card numbers from PayPal sandbox, and they go through, but the ‘verified by visa’ authentication never shows.

    Are there some test credit /debit card numbers I can use that will work in Sandbox?

    This is a great module, thanks!

28. Mendel January 25th, 2010

    Do I need a Cardinal Centinel account to get this module working in the US? How do I sign up for one (if it is required)? How much does it cost? Thanks!

29. Dave Sniper January 26th, 2010

    @Stig: Cardinal Centinel document could be found via this link http://www.sailboatvn.com/download/Centinel.IntegrationGuide.PayerAuthentication.pdf . Test cards are in chapter 7.

    @Mendel: Cardinal Centinel account is FREE. you need to sign up a Paypal account first and then signup for Paypal WPP (not free)

30. tanya January 26th, 2010

    my client contacted Cardinal and in reply he got this…

    Currently Prestashop has not integrated 3-D Secure into their platform. However, we do have a partnered called, Quay Creative, who built a certified module for 3-D Secure for Prestashop merchants.

    i have sent them an email telling them we are not using a default prestashop module, rather one that was written by Dave Sniper, and gave this url as a reference for them. Fingers crossed

31. Martyn January 26th, 2010

    Do you have any plans, or is there anyway you can release code that is 100% stand-alone from presta shop?

    I am using DoDirectPayment NVP, and need to integrate 3ds, but i am having issue, just wondered if your work can be use stand-alone?

    thanks

32. Stig January 26th, 2010

    During tests and also with live payments I don’t get to see the Cardinal Centinel redirect page for card enrolled in 3D secure. The payments are authorised and complete successfully. Am I missing something?

33. Stig January 26th, 2010

    The module passes the field ‘id_product’ to PayPal (PayPal show this as ‘Item Number’). How can I change it so that it passes the product field ‘reference’ instead? It makes more sense to see the product reference alongside the product description instead of the database id (a number that has no real meaning unless you look it up in a table.

    Many thanks…..

34. Dave Sniper January 27th, 2010

    @Stig: Did you use the test cards in the Centinel integration guide for 3D secure transaction?

    If you would like to change the product id to product reference, please get in touch with our company Quay Creative (info@quaycreative) for a free quote.

    All the bests

35. Stig January 27th, 2010

    In Test Mode: For test cards, yes, I used the test cards from the Centinel integration guide.

    In Live Mode: I used a live working Visa card, enrolled in 3D secure.

    In both cases the payment processed fine, but without the redirect page showing.

36. J. Duke January 30th, 2010

    I am in the USA and I cannot find anything about how to register with centinel! I have paypal WPP and everything but I cannot configure the module without centinel credentials. How in the heck do I get centinel credentials?

37. Dave Sniper January 30th, 2010

    @Stig: you need to view the activity record in Centinel and if your card required 3D secure then you need to get in touch with Cardinal Centinel company to resolve this matter.. ask them what is happening.

    @J.Duke: Not too sure if 3D secure is required for US, you need to contact Paypal staff and ask them. They would definitely give you the best answer.

38. bob February 1st, 2010

    Just a lil’ security question.

    When the customer enters their cc info and clicks ‘confirm order’, I’m assuming their cc details are kept in a cookie at least until the next page. Please can you confirm this? Please can you assure us there are no security risks with this plugin? Cheers,

    Bob

39. bob February 2nd, 2010

    One more Q. Will there be a paid version of this module with tech support? It handles the customers holy of holy’s, so would mind paying extra for peace of mind…..

40. bob February 2nd, 2010

    …meant to say ‘wouldn’t mind’. Oops!

41. Dave Sniper February 2nd, 2010

    Hey Bob,
    To answer your questions:
    1. This Paypal WPP module does not store customer info / credit card detail in cookies or database. All information retrieved from the POST method passed straight on to Cardinal Centinel server.. Therefore no need to be worry.

    2. Please get in touch with Quay Creative to get support http://www.quaycreative.com/contact/ or simple send email to me via info@quaycreative.com

    Cheers

42. Peter February 2nd, 2010

    Hello.
    Looks like a great module.
    For us outside UK/US (Sweden) Can we use this module with some tweaking, or is it totally different systems between the different countries PayPal functions? I hope you understand my question, my English isn’t that great.

    Thanks
    Peter

43. Anthony February 8th, 2010

    I am getting the following emails from paypal regarding issues with the IPN, it appears others are also getting similar issues:

    Please check your server that handles PayPal Instant Payment Notifications
    (IPN). Instant Payment Notifications sent to the following URL(s) are
    failing:

    http://www.conceptcopters.com/store/modules/paypalapi/ipn.php

    If you do not recognize this URL, you may be using a service provider that
    is using IPN on your behalf. Please contact your service provider with the
    above information. If this problem continues, IPNs may be disabled for your
    account.

    Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

    Thanks, Anthony

44. bob February 9th, 2010

    The mastercard / visa secure code links on the payment screen take you to url’s on your own site. They appear to have been designed to open in a thickbox style box, but don’t. Have I broken something or is this a feature we need to implement ourselves? If so, any tips…

45. Gerald February 10th, 2010

    keep getting this error 1. Security header is not valid

    What am I doing wrong need answer asap working on a live shopping cart site

46. Dave Sniper February 10th, 2010

    @Anthony: PaypalAPI module is not our module. You need to ask this question in Prestashop forum so other could help.

    @Bob: You’re absolutely right, you can change it to a normal hyper link.

    @Security header is not valid is due to incorrect Paypal username or password. You need to double check all your details.

47. Laurynas February 11th, 2010

    The module looks great. Thank you so much!

    However, when trying to checkout after entered details for 3D secure I get this error in prestashop:

    01. Transaction was marked as untrusted. Please use your different card

    What does it mean? Is it supposed to be as I am testing in sandbox mode (both paypal and Centinel) Or it is some real error? I get the same error on your testing prastashop page.

    Thanks

48. Ian February 12th, 2010

    Hello,

    Fantastic module, thanks a lot. Will certainly be donating at some point.

    One issue I have, is that although I have the default currency set as Pound in my store, the default currency on the payment page on the drop down option is USD.

    How can I change this?

    Regards,
    Ian

49. Anthony February 12th, 2010

    HA! – sorry totally misread

50. Anthony February 18th, 2010

    Please help… i have 2 big problems. 1st, when someone uses a discount code, it still charges the full amount, before the discount.

    2nd, I have a product that when purchased, it is charging the wrong amount to the card (although displaying correct in prestashop). It almost appears to be the cost price of the item, but not quite right. When looking at the payment breakdown in paypal, it seems to have the correct amount of vat, according to the purchase.

51. Stig February 19th, 2010

    URGENT: I also have the same BIG problem as Anthony – when someone uses a voucher, the order shows correctly in PrestaShop BUT the customer still gets charged the full amount before discount.

52. Dave Sniper February 19th, 2010

    @Anthony + Stig: It looks like the discount code is not handled correctly. For all urgent matters, please get in touch with Quay Creative at info@quaycreative.com for commercial supports.

53. Stig February 21st, 2010

    I have 49 orders processed with this module and 22 of them have not charged the full order amount to the card. This is the same problem as Anthony, and is in addition to the problem with discounts not being deducted.

    I made contact with info@quaycreative.com and they are helping with the discount issue. Today I have found this new problem and have sent another email asking for help.

    Does anyone else see this problem, and have you found a fix?

54. Daniel February 26th, 2010

    Hi Dave,

    With regards to the express checkout button, I was using the Paypal API module aswel as your module, so that the customers could go direct to the Paypal website if they wished. I was wondering which notification url I should be using if I’m using both payment modules as you can only enter one notification url on the paypal website. I need to know because it says on the paypal website that paypal express must be there as an option and I don’t see that with your module. Any help would be really appreciated.

    Daniel

55. corey March 1st, 2010

    Hi Dave

    have been using you module now for about a month and have just noticed that it is not transfer correct amount to paypal… if my customer orders more than one of the same product it shows the correct price on the credit card page to be paid but paypal only charges for one item any help would be great to fix this….

56. Dave Sniper March 1st, 2010

    @Corey: I could not replicate this issue from my end. Is there anything you done cause this?
    @Daniel: Not too sure about the notification url, but it wouldn’t needed for paypal direct.. just use for the paypal module is fine.

57. Daniel March 2nd, 2010

    Thanks Dave, I’ll check to make sure that both the paypal api module and your Paypal WPP work together.

58. Mark March 2nd, 2010

    I’m trying to use this module for a US based company. Has anyone been able to get it working? Because it is US and not UK there doesn’t seem to be a way to get signed up for Cardinal Centinel, nor does it seem to be required in the US but I don’t know how to make the module work without the Centinel information. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m on a time crunch and don’t know any other way to integrate PayPal payment into my site.

59. Corey March 2nd, 2010

    Hi Dave

    no i have not done anything, looking back through my paypal it has happened from the day i installed it but never noticed.

    it seems i have only had 5 orders where the customer order more than 1 item of the same product so have not lost to much money..

    All other payment modules are working fine so this leads me to think its the paypal pro module…..

60. Anthony March 2nd, 2010

    Corey – this may be the cause that I am seeing, as I only see it when two or more of the same item is purchased. I’d need to check back to see if it is just certain items, as at initial review, it was specific to two items, but thinking about it, this may be because these are the only items that people are buying in multiples… and it is actually mor wide spread than i initially thought

61. Corey March 2nd, 2010

    Anthony

    Yes i only spotted it this weekend but going back through paypal account it seems when ever an order was taken when the buyer buys multiple of the same item it only charges for one… i have just taken another order and it has happened again….

    i have now had to disable the module and gone back to using Nochex as Quay quoted me £100 to fix it…….

62. Corey March 3rd, 2010

    Have also noticed that when i get the paypal confirmation it normaly lists all the products that have been purchased in the order..

    But when someone buys multiples of one product then the paypal confirmation does not list any products it just shows payment and postage details…
