Need Help Please Passing Information from 3rd party Shopping Cart to paypal

[tan88]

Hello Everyone,

 

I am new to php coding. Hope someone can help.

 

I am using the checkout button from a third party shopping cart. I want to

the button to pass all the variables (product name, quantity, amount, total amount etc...)

from the shopping cart into the paypal table and also I want the button to do

a loop until all items are in the paypal table. How do I approach that?

 

 

Here's checkout button code current (it doesn't work):

 

********************************************************************************

 

    $process_button_string = tep_draw_hidden_field('add', '1') .

  tep_draw_hidden_field('cmd', '_cart') .

                              tep_draw_hidden_field('business', MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_ID) .

                              tep_draw_hidden_field('products_name', $order->products['name']) .

  tep_draw_hidden_field('products_quantity', $order->products['qty']) .

  tep_draw_hidden_field('products_price', $order->products['price']) .

                              tep_draw_hidden_field('amount', number_format($order->info['shipping_cost'] * $currencies->get_value($my_currency), $currencies->get_decimal_places($my_currency))) .

  tep_draw_hidden_field('first_name', $order->billing['firstname']) .

                              tep_draw_hidden_field('last_name', $order->billing['lastname']) .

                              tep_draw_hidden_field('address1', $order->billing['street_address']) .

                              tep_draw_hidden_field('address2', $order->billing['suburb']) .

                              tep_draw_hidden_field('city', $order->billing['city']) .

                              tep_draw_hidden_field('state', $order->billing['state']) .

                              tep_draw_hidden_field('zip', $order->billing['postcode']) .

                              tep_draw_hidden_field('lc', $order->billing['country']['iso_code_2']) .

                              tep_draw_hidden_field('email', $order->customer['email_address']) .

                              tep_draw_hidden_field('shipping', number_format($order->info['shipping_cost'] * $currencies->get_value($my_currency), $currencies->get_decimal_places($my_currency))) .

                              tep_draw_hidden_field('currency_code', $my_currency) .

                              tep_draw_hidden_field('return', tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PROCESS, '', 'SSL')) .

                              tep_draw_hidden_field('rm', '2') .

                              tep_draw_hidden_field('no_note', '1') .

                              tep_draw_hidden_field('cancel_return', tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PAYMENT, '', 'SSL'));

 

    return $process_button_string;

Search paypal for IPN (Instant Payment Notification), make your own invoice from info (as you've shown), calculate a total, send info to paypal, let it reply, then you respond and verify, then output confirmation to user.

 

As for your unnamed 'third party shopping cart', I dunno! Post on their forum (v slow)

I am using Oscommerce the shopping cart.

 

Thank You. I'll check out paypal.
