Last Name not showing up on PayPal shipping details page

The customer's shipping last name is not showing up on the PayPal details after the sale goes through so when we print out the shipping lable on PayPal, the customer';s ;ast name is missing and we have to enter it manually. The confirm.php is attached...it lookes like the code is just sending the firstname with the name...maybe it needs to be concatentated with the last name?

In the code on lines 276 and 280 you can see that both of these are being set. Also, so that you are aware this is a public forum and the details you have entered in your current confirm page should be updated from your PayPal profile. You should request new credentials and not use these ones anymore.

I did some testing and was able to confirm that I can see the first and last name of the buyer on PayPal and in the email that is sent. Does this happen for you every time or is it sporadic?

I was looking at line 350 the SH_Name, I noticed that it's only the firstname and not the last name...is that what is passed to PayPal? Maybe you can show me the syntax to concatenate the first name and last name with a space between. And in answer to your question, it happens all the time, not sporadic. I'm changing the API key now.

I changed the API on pp_confirm and not getting back paypal account details on pp_confirm page after coming back from paypal so the transaction dies there...please help me asap as this page is live and we're losing sales.

The API username and password must be updated all around on all checkout pages. The best way to do this is to do a global find and replace for the entire site. Look for the old API username and update it with the new one then repeat it for the API signature, just find the old one and replace it with the new one.

These should be located on the checkout, confirm, pp_confirm pages and may also be present on other pages. Doing the site wide find and replace should get it working for you. If you have further problems with it you should add in the checkout responses for the page you are working on and view the full request and full response, PayPal should let you know what the problem is in the response.

As for the shipping first and last name if you would like to concatenate the two you would replace lines 350 and 351 with these:

$PP_DirectPayment_optional[0][$nextIndex] = "SH_Name";

  $PP_DirectPayment_optional[1][$nextIndex] = "".((isset($_POST["shipping_firstname"]) && isset($_POST["shipping_lastname"]))?$_POST["shipping_firstname"] . " " . isset($_POST["shipping_lastname"]:"")  ."";

This is the same code but it is also checking the last name. If both are present then they will be combined into the one value.

I followed you instructions for the API issue (searching the whole site for API changes) and still have the same behaviour...I even called PayPal and they said that the Get and Do seem to be working fine. I also tried to display the API full request and full results which is also not displaying anything. This is impacting sale at this point...Please call me so I can get this resolved.

I also added the code for the last name and got an error...I just copied and pasted the code in place of the existing code.

Can I please get a call to resolve? I fololwed the directives of the tech and did not see resolution.
