How to calculate shipping when using Paypal Express Checkout?
Submitted by stompeers on Tue, 10/02/2007 - 13:19
I'm using Paypal Website Payments Pro, and on the cart page, there is a button to click to complete an Express Checkout payment. However, if a customer goes this route, it does not calculate shipping. Is there a reason to do it this way? Would one have to set up shipping in their Paypal profile to tag on a shipping charge? Thanks!
They will come back to your cart for calculating Shipping costs if you are using Express Checkout. FOr an instance, you can check it at my site. PS: You need not buy anything, but can surely test it Clicking that button on the cart page takes the user through what PayPal calls the Express Checkout Shortcut Flow. This will take them to PayPal to login, but it returns customers to your site to complete checkout. It's at that time that you're supposed to add the shipping and tax calculations to the order and return the total value to PayPal to charge. I have it going to a custom form where the customer selects a shipping method and puts in any additional information needed. So the normal shipping quote modules should work just fine with this. Test it out and let me know if that solves your question. Thanks for your comments. I went through the process again, just to make sure, and it never actually gets quotes for shipping, or displays any shipping info. When it returns to the site, there is an input for a phone number and comments, and after that the order is fulfilled. I am using the Flat Rate shipping module, if that makes any difference. Any ideas why it might be skipping shipping? No, I haven't yet. I'm used to using a GUI for version control (I'm not geeky enough to feel in control at the command line yet), and the Tortoise Bazaar installation is giving me some hang-ups. So, I haven't been using the version control for Ubercart yet. I'll have to get to that soon. Probably you have to wait till the 7d is released. That PayPal feature has been there since its first addition to core, though. The settings to review are somewhat hidden (sorry): /admin/store/settings/payment/edit/gateways Expand the PayPal Website Payments Pro fieldset then the Express Checkout fieldset. Make sure the appropriate checkboxes are checked. Ryan I think stompeers is having the same problem i patched two days back regarding Paypal Express checkout and 7c. stompeers, There is a patch i put which might work, if u r using 7c. http://www.ubercart.org/issue/876/paypal_express_checkout_shipping_quote Oh yeah.. thanks for pointing that out. Sweet! Thanks. I did not have the appropriate boxes checked. I love the number of options you have available for some of the UC features, it's been a pleasure working with so far. If I had dug around just a little more, I would have found this.
