WP e-commerce SKU PayPal Fix

By: on Mar 18, 2010 | 11 Comments

One of our more larger clients asked us to create a site based on the WordPress platform and utilize the WP e-commerce plugin  as a shopping cart.  One of the many issues our client was facing right out of the box was the inability for WP e-commerce to pass his SKU along to his PayPal gateway.

After going over the plugin in depth and confirming via the author’s site that this feature is  currently not available, we did what we do best.  We made our own!

Our fix is quite simple.  Download and overwrite your existing paypal_multiple.php file with ours and your SKU’s will now be passed on to PayPal. Excellent for those using a fulfillment center.

Much thanks! We’re setting up a WP ecommerce store and this will come in handy.

I’ve replaced my the paypal_multiple.php file with the one above. Where is the SKU stored in Paypal? I’m using the Payflow Pro for my store merchant gateway; does this make a difference? Thanks f0r any help

Hi Sean,

When your users check out it will appear under the ‘details’ field. We only tested this with PayPal standard so it might not be compatible with your particular gateway.

Thanks,

Jason

Thanks Jason,
I do not see a details field when I log into my Payflow Pro account. However, Wp-e-commerce is sending two Comment fields to Paypal. I’m guessing Payflow Pro and PayPal Standard are two different monkies? Bummer.

Can you tell me how you got the SKU value (from the wp_options table, correct?) into the paypal_multiple? I think I may be able to piece something together for Payflow Pro.

Thanks again

Is this fix compatible with the current version of WP E-Commerce (3.8.6)? I don’t think there’s a multiple_paypal.php file anymore (I couldn’t find it in the list of files) so is there somewhere else I’d need to put the code instead? 3.8.6 still isn’t passing the SKU info along to Paypal, so I need to figure out an alternate way to handle it.

Hi Robin,

I do not believe it is.

Thanks,
Jason
