Hi. Anybody using paypal ipn -- just looking for a confirmation. If you are charging shipping with ubercart, it seems to get lumped into the "handling" section of the order at paypal (click details) after the ipn payment is complete. Shipping says zero. The amount is correct and the totals are fine. I think this is due to the no_shipping=1 setting in ubercart. Just want to make sure this is the expected behaviour. I promise to document all of this!

Re: can somebody confirm handling vs shipping
Hey Ryan. Can you confirm why you're passing the ubercart shipping amount as "handling_cart" and not "shipping" to paypal ipn? Just curious. It looks strange to see it all under handling.
Re: Re: can somebody confirm handling vs shipping
Not entirely sure, but I always thought it looked funny, too. I guess I just thought that was the field to pass it in at the time. Although, another possibility is that the code I used as a base for my PayPal module included a little bit of funny business. If there's a way to change that, I'm happy to do it.
Re: can somebody confirm handling vs shipping
Well, it's seems to be intentional. It looks like setting no_shipping=1 makes it impossible to specify the "shipping" parameter -- which makes some sense I guess. That's why it's being stuffed into handling. It just hung for me trying to change it. Oh well, handling it is!
Hi,
sorry to wake up an old
Hi,
sorry to wake up an old thread, but me too I searched for this "issue". It's beacuse Paypal has no "shipping" variable when uploading a cart to Paypal. There's only "handling_cart", which is generic. Then Paypal puts a label on his own, sometimes telling "Shipping and handling", sometimes "Handling".
That's a bit annoying, but I think nothing can be done on Ubercart side.
Greetings.
