Re: Paypal integration

[Pete Freitag]

You can specify notify_url as a hidden form element:

Here's the docs on the form elements that you can use:
https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_html_Appx_websitestandard_htmlvariables

Keep in mind that the hidden fields could be modified by the user, that's
why using the paypal button api, or the paypal website are the best
solutions, but depending on what you are doing you might be able to do
sufficient validation in the IPN.

Buy now button (form submission).

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the form to specify a different
IPN url?

I'm currently using the URL specified in the Merchant Services section of
the customer's account, but it would save me a lot of time if I could
specify it using the form instead.

Mike,

Thanks for this, someone mailed me off list with code very similar to this
which looks as if it'll do the job I want.

The real challenge right now is getting sandbox access in the UK, seems
they're not properly setup for it yet and you have to jump through hoops,
real pain in the arse.

Cheers for the advice,

Rob

RE: Paypal Integration - Auto Return question

[Snake]

This is just how it works and why you shouldn't use auto return.
If the user does not return from  paypal to your site for any reason then u
have no record of the transaction, they could just close the browser as
well.
Use IPN method instead so that the callback happens in the background and
does not rely on the user returning to your site.

Here is all the docs
https://www.paypal.com/IntegrationCenter/ic_documentation.html
IPN testing page (probably better to make your own version though as I did)

Subject: Paypal Integration - Auto Return question

Folks,

We are integrating Paypal's Website Payments Standard system with our
platform to allow clients to link off to paypal and make their purchases
there and then link back.

We have run into a surprising issue with Paypal's Auto Return feature that
automatically brings a user back from paypal to a thank you page on out
clients' sites.  The issue is that we have Auto Return:
1) working great when the user pays with their paypal account
2) not working at all when the user pays with a credit card on the paypal
site - they seem to have to manually click the "Return to Merchant" link at
the bottom of the paypal thank you screen in order to get back to our
client's sites.

This is a problem for us since our clients users will expect to make a
payment and then automatically end up back on the site they started on, not
on the paypal site.

Has anyone bumped into this issue before?  Hopefully we are just missing
something obvious.

Best,

Nick

Re: Paypal Integration - Auto Return question

[Mark Flewellen]

As far as I know there is no work around for this, when you make a Payment with 
an account all is good, if you are paying with a credit card there is no auto 
return. I chatted online with one of the Tech guys from Paypal who also 
confirmed this.

Re: Buy Now Paypal integration workflow

[Rick King]

So I tried implementing IPN, made all the preference changes on Payapl, read up 
on the lastest IPN tutorial over at easycfm by Mike Daugherty 
(http://tutorial468.easycfm.com/), and am using the code below. 

Unfortunately, I'm only receiving the contents of the  statement which 
means it's not returning "SUCCESS". I'm sure the authToken is correct.

Has anyone else tried implementing this code? The whole process works great up 
until it returns to my ipn.cfm page.

Hi, Rick...

Sorry I don't have an answer for you, because I have no experience
with ecommerce...however, I have thought of creating a virtual "Mall"
for our area and allowing local merchants to sell their wares on the
site.

Is that what you're doing...or something similar?

Subject: Buy Now Paypal integration workflow

Anyone ever have this issue when integrating a Buy Now button from Paypal?

I have a site where a user posts a listing for an item, say a shirt. They
are also allowed to upload 3 images for that item. I'm charge a listing fee
that equals a percentage of the asking price of that item (say 5%). 

Once the user fills out the details, and uploads the images, they go to the
review page. If they approve it, they are sent to Paypal, where thay pay the
listing fee, then are returned to my site.

However, how can I make sure that they've completed the Paypal transaction,
since their item has already been posted? I'm trying to figure out a way
that their item won't be posted until after they've completed the Paypal
transaction. Would session variables still work after they've left my site,
gone to Paypal, and come back?

Thanks
R

RE: Buy Now Paypal integration workflow

[Martyn Bowis]

Hi Rick,

You should use the IPN (Instant Payment Notification) feature of PayPal.

There is example ColdFusion code on the PayPal site for processing the IPN
Post data that is returned to the page that you specify as the return page
for the IPN.

Essentially, the workflow could be:

1. User logs in
2. Create product and in database and set status to pending
3. Upload images and associate with product record
4. Click Buy Now Button and go to PayPal site (Buy Now Button has various
properties you can set, some of which can be retrieved from the IPN Post
data)
5. Have the IPN take the user back to thankyou.cfm
6. Read the IPN Post data inside thankyou.cfm
7. Update your product record status to completed

Cheers,
Martyn

You need you use the IPN method, so that you have a callback that happens in
the background.

Here are some useful links

Yes, the session will live as long as the session is timed to live.  Are you 
using Paypals IPN (Instant Payment Notification) feature.  It will send you a 
data packet full of payment data when a transaction is completed.

RE: Buy Now Paypal integration workflow

[Adkins, Randy]

There are some utilities out there to help you with the integration.
Using the Buy Now, you would send over a success_url or failed_url (I
think that is correct)
which would be a page within your website. Thus, you can take the
appropriate actions as needed.

I am in the process of making a CFC to handle the IPN stuff PayPal offers.
There is a custom tag out there.. check the MM exchange.

 
Also, when the PayPal website is done being "maintenanced" go check out
their developer section, and read about IPN.

Slightly off topic:

I am looking at adding PayPal as a payment option to a ColdFusion
shopping cart we wrote.  As far as I can tell, you can't integrate it
very tightly.  I see two ways:

1) Buy Now Button Method: allows a user to jump from a product detail
page to the PayPal checkout form.  Only allows one item to be purchased
at a time.   Bypasses all our checkout pages including shipping and tax
calculation.

2) Shopping Cart Method:  offers Add To Cart buttons on each product
page.  Clicking this button opens a new window with a PayPal shopping
cart in it.  Allows more than one item to be purchased at a time.
Bypasses all our checkout pages including shipping and tax calculation.


Am I understanding this right?  Is there any other way to do it?  If we
add this feature as an option, when orders are placed using PayPal they
wouldn't be in our system because we have no way of knowing if the order
went through, or if the user changed quantities, etc.

Thanks for any input.

[admin]

agreed the talk back from IPN can do just about everything a regular CC
system can do - I'll see if I can find the link too

RE: PayPal integration

Look into paypal IPN.  It still isn't perfect, but its more integrated
than the options you describe.

Gads... Where was that Paypal/CF IPN tutorial again?

Slightly off topic:

I am looking at adding PayPal as a payment option to a ColdFusion
shopping cart we wrote.  As far as I can tell, you can't integrate it
very tightly.  I see two ways:

1) Buy Now Button Method: allows a user to jump from a product detail
page to the PayPal checkout form.  Only allows one item to be purchased
at a time.   Bypasses all our checkout pages including shipping and tax
calculation.

2) Shopping Cart Method:  offers Add To Cart buttons on each product
page.  Clicking this button opens a new window with a PayPal shopping
cart in it.  Allows more than one item to be purchased at a time.
Bypasses all our checkout pages including shipping and tax calculation.


Am I understanding this right?  Is there any other way to do it?  If we
add this feature as an option, when orders are placed using PayPal they
wouldn't be in our system because we have no way of knowing if the order
went through, or if the user changed quantities, etc.

Thanks for any input.
-Ryan
