PayPal Checkout - documentation?

-- HikaShop version -- : 4.6.2
-- Joomla version -- : 3.10.11
-- PHP version -- : 7.4

Hi!
As I see I need Client ID and Client secret - if I want to use new plugin Paypal checkout
Where I can to get it? Any documentation?
Thank you

Thank you/ previous plugin PayPal will to be work?

Hi, I managed to make the new Paypal checkout plugin work (client ID and secret are made available in the Developer portal of Paypal creating an App) but the new plugin lacks some of the options of the previous one:

• parameters for the address (choice of billing/customer/none), address override option
• send details of the order option
• no shipping configuration
• show notes
• allow payments notification

So for maximum flexibility probably we have to stick for the moment with the old one? Which are the hidden values for these parameters in the new plugin so that if they are set as we need, we can go with the new one?
I think the old API will be later discontinued so I'd like to move to the new one but having fully understood if some flexibility is lost.
Thanks a lot

Giuse

Just to be sure - if I update Hikashop to the latest version, will it not affect/overwrite my current Paypal payment plugin?

Best Regards,
Anders

Hi,
can you point me to a guide on how we set up paypal to use the new plugin. We've set up an app with the; client id, client secret and merchant id - but the payment method isn't showing up as part of our checkout.

Thanks,
Ian and Stu

p.s. we really want to get away from the basic paypal checkout because it's confusing our customer and forcing them to sign up for an account.

edit: Hi, we fixed it by including our business name, which is listed on the same PayPal backend page as the Merchant Id. This may confuse other people too. In short, Do Not Use the Merchant ID.

Hi,
we don't have the 'connect to PayPal' field in the version of the plugin we're using. Do we need to upgrade or download a newer version?
We're running 4.7.3.

Hi,
I'll start a new thread if need be but the new paypal plugin was working and is now failing to complete. The error on the backend of paypal says;
Date: 19 Jun 2023 03:35:53
HTTP status: 422 ERROR
Debug ID: f1240203f811c
Request path: POST /v2/checkout/orders/2US11195YB896532C/capture
Error message: The requested action could not be performed, semantically incorrect, or failed business validation.

The plugin is configure exactly the same on another site (and a different host) and hasn't had any problems. It's strange that it worked and then stopped. Let me know if you can decipher the error or if I should chase up PayPal. I never find them very helpful unfortunately.

Thanks,
Ian and Stu

Hi, the sandbox mode works but switching back to 'live' isn't working.

I had to switch of 'block duplicate invoice ids' on the backend of paypal. If you have multiple site and one business, paypal doesn't play nicely. I'll let you know if we have more problems but this seems to have fixed it (fingers crossed).
