Paypal checkout problem

Ubercart

I'm trying to integrate Paypal standard. When I go to checkout and click on the paypal checkout button, it takes me to a paypal page that says:

"This transaction is invalid. Please return to the recipient's website to complete your transaction using their regular checkout flow."

I tried searching the UC forums and came up with this post: http://www.ubercart.org/forum/support/195/checkout_paypal_button

but that doesn't solve the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Paypal checkout problem

Sounds like you might have activated the Express Checkout payment method on accident? Can you confirm that your PayPal payment method says something to the effect of "Includes: "?

Copied from "admin/store/settings/payment" on the Overview tab:

Edit
Payment settings:
Payment tracking is enabled.
Payments may be deleted by approved users.
Payments are tracked in the order logs.
Default payment details message:
Continue with checkout to complete payment.
Edit
Payment methods:
PayPal Express Checkout is disabled for checkout.
PayPal Website Payments Standard is enabled for checkout.
Edit
Payment gateways:
PayPal Website Payments Pro is disabled.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Includes..." ??

Hmm... can you verify that you put in the correct PayPal e-mail address? Beyond that, I know of no other reason for it to fail... maybe you have to update your account to a free premier account before they give you WPS access?

Weirdness. Or just my own ignorance. Not sure which.

I have a verified business account. I double and triple checked the address. Still no dice. Is there more I have to do on the Paypal side? I went through the very helpful page here on Ubercart.org that talks about implementing Paypal. I thought it would be so easy.

I'm not sure... I know it can be difficult to know whether your account has been fully approved to use the various PayPal services. Next step I'd say would be to contact the customer support either via phone or chat and make sure your account is prepared to use these services.

Looking through Paypal's website, they say that all you have to do is upgrade to a Business or Premier account to use WPS. I have a Business account. Then the next step, they say, is to either insert their button codes or use an integrated cart. I got Ubercart.

I'm really at a loss here. I've tried sending them a support request, but have not heard back.

I'd wait to hear back. You wouldn't be the first who missed some sort of authorization checkbox somewhere... I had a client with a similar issue where it turned out he just didn't submit a final form somewhere. Puzzled

Check to make sure you cUrl lib has https enabled this is what fixed that problem for me.

I thought the point of using PayPal was that you do not need to use https. Was I wrong?

Since there isn't an answer on this old thread, thought I would let future uberpeeps benefit from what I found out when I got this same error.

You need to set up your express checkout API info. To get this, go to your paypal profile page and click API. Then Request API Access. You'll need the signature, so select that option.

Once you have the API info, then go to the ubercart admin at "admin/store/settings/payment/edit/gateways" and under the PayPalPro gateway, there's a section for the API, simply enter the API info there, note that you don't have to enable the PayPalPro gateway, just enter the API info and save it.

That's it!
