I've sponsored the development of a PayPal Buttons Module to add the ability to pay for single-item purchases using PayPal Buy Now and recurring purchases using PayPal Subscriptions. Both types of purchases will go through PayPal Website Payments Standard, not Express Payments or Website Payments Pro, which allows easier setup and administration.

The module will also optionally integrate with uc_subscribe, allowing greater flexibility in subscription management.

detour and Sundays Energy are creating the module with the proviso that the module be released as an open-source contribution. If this module is useful to you and you'd like to ChipIn, please visit:

The initial quote for the module was $850, but it may come in less than that. We're currently testing the module, which is compatible with UC RC2.

I forgot to mention it here at the time, but the PayPal Buttons Module has been released. I'm looking forward to your comments.

Is this possible with your new PPB Module?

1) Use a different PP account than the Uber account?

2) Charge a different amount for shipping than what is setup in the cart? i.e all of the items are set at flat rate per order.

3) Order more than one item. Say one apple and one orange. Or two of each.

The reason I ask, is that I have a friend that is using a part of the site for their products as a separate products class. They would like a different shipping rate and a different PP account, etc.

This goes back to the desire by some to use a Uber site for many different vendors. Each with their own separate accounts.

Thanks.

Jim

For some reason, I can't get this to work properly with the subscription module. When I set up the subscription payment it does add it as an active subscription in the subscription list initially (notices the received payment from paypal). Then, during the next billing cycle it doesn't notice that the payment was received.

In the logs I found:
uc_paypal_button 06/22/2008 - 7:05am IPN transaction verified. Anonymous
uc_paypal_button 06/22/2008 - 7:05am Receiving IPN at URL for order 20-SUBSCRIPTION. Anonymous

However, at 11:45pm that night, an email goes out:
Dear **@**.com,

This e-mail is to remind you that your payment is due to ** for *** is PAST due. The original due date was on 06/21/2008 - 11:01pm. If you feel you have received this message in error please contact us at **@**.com.

I have a workflow configured, and cron is running without a problem. The workflow is configured as follow:
Conditions:
OR Group
Check Order Balance -> Balance is less then or equal to 0.00
Actions:
Update Order Status -> Payment Received

Any idea on what would cause this?

Thanks in advance,
Zach
