PayPal payment Process

Dearest Need on ur greatest humanitarian response support cooperation as automatically

Hi Melanie,
We have been seeing intermittent payment initiation failure since late August. The problem has been reported to PayPal a couple weeks ago, and their engineers are working hard to resolve the issue. As we observed, the payment failure is actually  intermittent. I suspect that you might have encountered the same issue we are seeing.  I apologize for any inconvenience the problem has caused you.
Could you let us exactly what your failure is? It'll be helpful if you can describe the steps you did until your encountered the failure. And please also tell us the detailed error message if you see one. Could you let me know what paypal email address you have registered in your forms? I can look up the server logs to get more information about the failure.
For your protection, please directly reply to my email address: [email protected]
Thanks,
Eman Fu

  • Paypal payment processing with Buy Now Button JSC component

    The "Buy Now Button" JSC component is having a property postBackUrl which is supposed to run a program to read (and process) the information from the Paypal server about the payment.
    Can this be a pagebean? (or it must be a Servlet?) Can anyone give sample codes for this implementation?(It is enough to show how to receive the POST data from the Paypal server)
    Any help from anyone is very much appreciated.
    Thank you very much.

  • Paypal payment processing callback on JSC application

    I have implemented a Paypal payment processig application with JSC, in which the Paypal server will call my Servlet, upon successful completion of the payment.
    The algorithem on the Servlet is something similar to the following:
    if (condition_one){
    database operation_1;
    database operation_2;
    But the problem is, when "condition_1" is met, I have the following cases:
    (1) Sometimes, neither "database operation_1" nor "database operatio_2" is performed
    (2) Sometimes, either "database operation_1" or "database operatio_2" is only performed
    (3) Sometimes, both "database operation_1" and "database operatio_2"are performed
    By theory, only the 3rd case must occur all the time, but I do not understand why the first two cases occur sometimes? Am I missing anything?
    Thank you.

    Here is the part of the code:
    if (paymentStatus.equals("Completed")){
    System.out.println("\"Completed\" is returned by Paypal");
        if(isSubscription){
    System.out.println("Inside the if loop");
        updatePayment(query_1); //This is "database operation_1"
        updatePayment(query_2); //This is "database operation_2"
    In the above code query_1 and query_2 are acting on the same database (on a same computer) but on two different tables.
    The updatePayment(String query) method as follows:
    private void updatePayment(String query){
            Statement sta=null;
            Connection con=null;
           // ResultSet rs=null;
            try {
    System.out.println(" SUCCESS!! (servlet/Payment.java/UpdateDatabase()/ Entered into Try block successfully");          
    //Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver")
                Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
                Context initContext = new InitialContext();
                DataSource ds = (DataSource)initContext.lookup("jdbc/MySQLDataSource");
                Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
                sta = conn.createStatement();
                sta.executeUpdate(query);
               // rs.close();
                sta.close();
                conn.close();
            System.out.println(" SUCCESS!! (servlet/Payment.java/UpdateDatabase()/ Try block executed successfully");
            } catch (Exception e) {
                System.out.println(" ERROR!! (servlet/Payment.java/UpdateDatabase()/catch blok) "+e.getMessage());
                // e.printStackTrace();

  • PayPal payment processing temporarily unavailable

    OK It's been a week now. I just tried to buy an album and I get the same error message.
    Can we get some indication here as to why this is taking SO LONG to fix??
    Is everyone else still having the same problems?

    I was having the same problem and I couldn't figure it out. So, I decided to have a look at my payment method. I went into edit mode and looked over the info. It all looked fine with my paypal info, so I hit submit. Tried again and it works now. My next course of action was going to be to change over to a credit card payment form. Something flaky with database connectivity, maybe. Try it.

  • PAYMENT PROCESSING? Paid with DEBIT?VISA instant transfer ( don't have a paypal account? option) help!!!

    ON the 27th I paid for an item I won (over 1000 dollars) by debit/visa option not from my paypal account. It usually is instant but this time it says PAYMENT PROCESSING BY PAYPAL??? I've contacted ebay and paypal numerous times as this is the first time it has happened.... paypal assures me that the payment went through and is completed ... while ebay could not give me an answer besides waiting for the system to update or it could be a glitch and might never update. I've contact my seller but he is adamant on holding the item until it is cleared by ebay... The money is already out of my account and in his (according to paypal) What should I do.. HELP!

    The seller is well within his rights to hold shipment until the payment is cleared by Paypal and your bank. 
    However, if the problem is that Paypal is holding the cleared payment (in escrow, basically), he is required to ship within 7 days. Paypal will release enough money to purchase a shipping label, but he will not get the full payment for up to 21 days after clearance. 
    Many new sellers can't understand this, but it is a protection for the buyer (and PP) against crooks who take the money and run.
    Mostly it affects new sellers, sellers in high fraud categories and high value items. It may also affect experienced sellers who suddenly sell an high price item when normally they sell realatively low value items. (Because that can be a sign of a hijacked account.)
    Your seller seems to fall into the flagged category. He will not have any money released to him for 21 days. Tell him you want a refund and buy elsewhere. You don't need to deal with someone who prefers his own rules to the contract we all sell under.

  • Divide a Paypal payment on several accounts

    Hi everyone, I'm currently integrating a Paypal payment on a webapp with IPN for notifications. All works fine, a customer can click on "Pay with Paypal" button, and will be redirected on his Paypal account to finish the payment. Now, I would know if is there a way to receive his payment divided on 2 Paypal accounts ? Something like 90% of the total payment on the first account, and 10% for the other... Maybe it's not directly possible with a simple Paypal button, but maybe with the IPN notification, could I programmatically send a certain amout of the verified payment on an other account ? Thank you.

    Hi, Carlos!
    Is this payment due to be made? I mean, should customer have done this payment?
    If so, I would run it from FB01, as described above. If it was an incorrect payment, that you will have to reverse it to your customer, I would create a credit memo and clear it further.
    Please, give more details regarding your business scenario. Will be easier to help you.
    Also, if your account is managed by open item, try FB05. Transaction to be processed: Incoming Payment

  • Seeking credit card payment processing advice

    Hello!
    My company has been doing ecommerce for years now using a
    custom CF shopping cart to collect the customer’s data, then
    we use CyberSource for the US and UK and a company called
    Sogenactif (for France and a few others) to do the credit card
    payment processing once the order has transferred to our internal
    accounting system. We have subsidiary offices all over the world,
    and supporting all of those currencies is quite a challenge. We
    have sites in Euros, Swiss Franc, Swedish Krones, Nowegian Krones,
    Yen, UK pounds, etc and setting up any more individual payment
    processors is not only a pain but unscalable and downright unruly.
    Does anyone know of a truly global payment processor? Does
    anyone have any helpful advice?
    Since we have a Merchant Account I’m not looking to use
    a Third Party Processor like PayPal…
    Thank you!!!

    It's nothing personal against PayPal, I'm currently
    investigating their PayFlow Gateway:
    https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-comparison which
    looks like a payment processor sans the customer interaction with
    PayPal. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any specifications on
    European currencies and communications with credit card banks.
    Since we have a merchant account we only need a service to
    authorize and bill users credit cards, no shopping basket, no
    processing through the Service's own bank.
    Has anybody used PayFlow gateway?

  • Payment Processing/Purchase Fields Limit

    I am attempting to use the "restaurant" template to create an order form for our products. Using drop down menues so our customer's can order the desired amounts. The Payments Processing/Purchase Fields has reached some sort of limit and will not continue.  What do I do????

    I finally linked the Restaurant Template to my paypal and opened the form. My friend went to the form and ordered
    items. The form is supposed to calculate an item times the number entered...
    "Enter the quantity you wish to order in the space below each item."
    In checkout, if 2 of a $5.00 item are ordered, the payment is for $2.00.
    The system does not calculate.
    Paypal does do this on my website. The item is chosen by the customer and any number of that item can be entered on the payment screen and is calculated according to the item's price each. This is a different payment screen.

  • Web forms taking paypal payments

    Hi all! I remember at the Sydney BC Parters group on 3rd June that one of the presenters said that they had worked out how to take paypal payments from a web form.
    In light of the new changes to offline processing (http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2321), we would like to change our offline payment processing customers to take payment from paypal instead. However, they use webforms at the moment to take their payments. Can anyone suggest how to take paypal payments from web forms?
    Thanks so much everyone!

    Best thing with BC stuff is to. It hold out waiting for them. Even of they are announced and a date that's 3 months away is set they often do not happen.
    Even when release notes role out and then happens things often are pulled out of them.
    You will need to get a client to use seamless payment gateway or look at other options Mel. No ETA still.

  • Firefox does not allow page re-directing for paypal payment

    firefox does not allow page re-directing for paypal payment. How do I fix this problem. It occurs with several sites where it was not a previous problem. When I press "allow", I get returned to the very beginning of the order process.

    I really appreciate your (spookily timely) help. Yes, I did try safe mode once.
    The problem with testing this problem is that I have to have something in the cart to buy, and if it works I've bought it.
    I was hoping to find that someone else had already done the logic and experimenting part, and the solution was just 'out there'. I did get one response (from Daz3d) that said Firefox had been having a problem with PayPal on their site, but no details.
    And as soon as I buy what I need using a credit card, as far as they're concerned the problem is done.

  • What can I do about the large number of Paypal payments that fail to go through?

    Many of my customers need to repeat their signup process 2 or 3 times before their Paypal payment is accepted.
    Or worse still, they think payment has gone through, and unless I check the form responses every day, I don't even know that they think they have registered but in fact haven't paid.

    I'm having the exact same problem. It's really bad for business. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
