Paypal setup issue?
I had a customer pay with normal paypal this morning and when he got to paypal the shipping was stripped off the order. Is there a setting I am missing in paypal that would be different since RC2? I didnt have this happen in RC1 that I know of and I havent made any changes to my paypal setup.
EDIT- I just had another do the same thing
EDIT- One of the customers noticed this as I guess the store told him he had a balance so he thought he was just paying the upaid part yet the whole amount was then charged to his credit card.
On a side note how is the system setup to handle paypal E-checks?

I want to make sure I am clear as to what problems I am having with Paypal and Paypal gateway.
Customer pays via credit card
payment is correct but shows double the amount on some screens
Customer pays with express checkout
payment is correct but order stays in "payment pending" status until viewed and then moves to "payment completed"
(this may have just been a timing issue as to when I viewed the order)
Customer pays with normal paypal
When customer gets to paypal site shipping is stripped from the order.
(I have disabled this option until a fix is found)

Ok..Well the shipping beign stripped off the order was a paypal setting issue that didnt matter in RC1 but did for RC2. Here is the fix if you have this issue.
Log into paypal
click on profile
click on shipping calculations

Delete any options shown

Now under profile it should show up like this

and your problems should be over.

So..my updated list of Paypal problems
Paypal direct and Paypal express checkout
The only bug I see now is that they seem to stay marked as payment pending until you view them and then they switch to payment completed. Does anyone else have this issue?
Paypal gateway credit cards
Double the payment/order amount is shown in the summary and payment pages. The customer can see this and alot tend to think they paid double what they did.

Supposedly there is an alternative fix. If you click into "Shipping Preferences" menu there is supposed to be an option for allowing transactions to override the profile based shipping. I can't be certain, these options do not show on the PayPal test accounts. But if that's the case, it would allow you to retain the PayPal based shipping calculations.compunerdy wrote:Ok..Well the shipping beign stripped off the order was a paypal setting issue that didnt matter in RC1 but did for RC2.

Also, the reason this symptom didn't show for you in RC1 is that we were not sending the breakdown of items. In RC2 we are telling PayPal the shipping amount separately, so on your account it was ignoring this amount.

Re: Paypal setup issue?
I am using RC3 and have seen the same issue with paypal where no shipping charge is being added to the order. I checked for the fix that was posted and that is not the issue. Anyone else on RC3 and seeing the same thing?

Re: Paypal setup issue?
Are you getting orders every once in awhile with no shipping charges or all of them? Is your issue that AC calculates shipping but then it is stripped during paypal checkout? Or that AC does not show any shipping was calculated at all?
