Problems with direct PayPal payment

When I use with my checkout page the normal procedure to go to the confirm page and then use PayPal everything works fine. But if I press on the checkout page directly onto the PayPal button, then I get more or less directly the pp_checkout_failure.php page. As far as I understand it something went wrong.

Any suggestions what might have cause this problem??

You are going to need to put in the debug code for Express Checkout on your pp_checkout_failure page. Here is the code to add to your page:

<?php

echo("PayPal Express Checkout requests and responses :<br />");   

echo("Auth request: ".isset($_SESSION['ECO_Auth_Request'])?$_SESSION['ECO_Auth_Request']:""."<br /><br />");  

echo("Auth Result: ".isset($_SESSION['"ECO_Auth_Result'])?$_SESSION['ECO_Auth_Result']:""."<br /><br />");  

echo("Get Request: ".isset($_SESSION['ECO_Get_Request'])?$_SESSION['ECO_Get_Request']:""."<br /><br />");  

echo("Get Result: ".isset($_SESSION['ECO_Get_Result'])?$_SESSION['"ECO_Get_Result']:""."<br /><br />");  

echo("Preocess request: ".isset($_SESSION['"ECO_Process_Request'])?$_SESSION['ECO_Process_Request']:""."<br /><br />");  

echo("Process Result: ".isset($_SESSION['ECO_Process_Result'])?$_SESSION['ECO_Process_Result']:""."<br /><br />");  

?>

Please add this to the pp failure page then test the pages out again. You should get the full information for each of these steps, post back with what you discover.

I have cut some of the return message before to hide the security information. The rest I do not understand

....../pp_confirm.php......./pp_cancel.phpAuthorization450.00TDA8SZ9FRB6AA2010-05-08T12:34:40ZFailure5ee599e8f08bcSecurity errorSecurity header is not valid10002Error60.01288906

The error you are getting about the security headers usually means that the api username password and signature are incorrect. I have opened a ticket for you on this issue so that we can look into this further. To update the ticket login and visit your support history.

I upgraded to PayPal Pro and am having serious problems. I'm so confused.

The shopping cart works great. When I click the checkout button on the shoppingcart.php it takes me to the checkout.php page where the customer can either click the PalPal button or enter credit card info.

The PayPal logo does take me to PayPal to sign in -- this seems to work.

BUT, if I enter credit card info it takes me to PayPal, with no option to enter credit card info (and I wouldn't want to have to re-enter it again anyway).

Question: Where should the user go after clicking the checkout button on the checkout.php page??? I thought to confirm.php, but it's going to PayPal.

Also, What's missing on my checkout and confirm pages?

Help.

If you are using Payments Pro clicking on the checkout button on the checkout page should take you to the confirm page. On this page you should be able to review your details then confirm the order.

Please post back with a copy of your checkout page and the confirm page minus the sensitive PayPal info like the username or passwords. I will take a look to see if I can spot the issue.

I'm not seeing the issue in the code that you posted, please post back and include these pages as attachments to your reply. You will need to add them to a zip archive before uploading them.
