PayPal Setup Problem

Postby Jay Guliano » Wed Jan 08, 2003 8:09 pm

I just had an update installed from 6.1 Pro to 6.2 Pro. We did this to
enable PayPal payment among other reasons. After setting up the PayPal
screen I made a purchase to test it and when I hit the send button on the
checkout page I got a blank white screen that said "here". What is causing
this to happen Why did I not end up in the PayPal site? I have a PayPal
account. Do I need to have a Business or Premier account?

Jay,
The reason you are having the problem is that you are using an order API that
outputs information to the browser. As mentioned in the help this will cause
problems.

--------------
Note:
The PayPal payment method may be incompatible with
some Order API applications. If the PayPal payment method
is enabled, the Order API application must not send any
output to the browser (stdout).
---------------
Note that you must also have a PayPal Business or Premier account. If all you
have is a personal account it can be upgraded on the PayPal site to either
business or premier.

I just converted from a personal account to a business account at PayPal.
The order API we have running is part of an order tracking system that
integrates with GoToast PPC bidding system. Is there any way around this
issue?
