How do I add Options to PayPayl Pro checkout form

I am having Trouble figuring out how to add PayPal options like size and color to the Checkout Form in eCart 5. When using Standard as the payment option they are added to the form automaticlly, but they are not present in the Webpayments Pro.

on the confirm page, you will need to modify the code that passes the item information to paypal to concatenate the options on the name. Find the folloing coed on your confirm page:

php:
$PP_DirectPayment_itemized[0][$nextIndex] = "Name" . strval($cartIndex+1) . "";

$PP_DirectPayment_itemized[1][$nextIndex] = "".$<youreCartObjectName>->DisplayInfo("Name")  ."";



where "<youreCartObjectName>" is the name of your eCart object.

assuming the option columns are named "Size and "Color", change the code to:

php:
$PP_DirectPayment_itemized[0][$nextIndex] = "Name" . strval($cartIndex+1) . "";

$PP_DirectPayment_itemized[1][$nextIndex] = "".$<youreCartObjectName>->DisplayInfo("Name")  ." Size: ".$<youreCartObjectName>->DisplayInfo("Size")." Color: ".$<youreCartObjectName>->DisplayInfo("Color")."";

My confirm page doesn't seem to be adding the sizes to the items when they get to my paypal standard account.... How do I go about fixing this?

Is there a way to show the shipping option they chose too?

to pass the selected shipping option, you need to add code to set a session variable with the name of the selected shipping option based on the ShipType session. change this line:

php:
if (isset($_POST['ShipType'])) $_SESSION['ShipType'] = $_POST['ShipType'];



to:

php:
if (isset($_POST['ShipType'])) $_SESSION['ShipType'] = $_POST['ShipType'];

switch ($_SESSION['ShipType']) {
    case 1:
        $_SESSION['ShipTypeString'] = "UPS Ground";
        break;
    case 2:
        $_SESSION['ShipTypeString'] = "USPS First-Class Mail";
        break;
    case 3:
        $_SESSION['ShipTypeString'] = "USPS First Class Mail";
        break;
    default: 
        $_SESSION['ShipTypeString'] = "USPS Priority";
        break;
}



then concatenate the size and the shipping to the item name being passed to PayPal:

php:
<input type="hidden" name="item_name_<?php echo $LuckiexLosersCart_Index+1?>" id="item_name_<?php echo $LuckiexLosersCart_Index+1?>" value="<?php echo $LuckiexLosersCart->DisplayInfo("Name"?> Size:<?php echo $LuckiexLosersCart->DisplayInfo("size"?> Shipping Option: <?php echo((isset($_SESSION["ShipTypeString"]))?$_SESSION["ShipTypeString"]:""?>" />

Ok so that worked, but is there a way to get it to show where the tax and total displays at the bottom? I guess when we work on my ticket and get the shipping to show up down there, we could just add the value of the shipping method name next to the shipping price correct?

For case 3, if the weight is over 13oz it changes from "First Class" to "Parcel Post" so how do we reflect that for case 3?
