I used the code from integration wizard https://www.paypal-labs.com/integrationwizard/ecpaypal/main.php, everything works fine but when i am redirected to paypal i would like to have an order summary like total amount and kind of description on paypal’s page, but in my case its blank (like on this screen http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/819/blankv.png/) i can put my code snippet that i am using:

                  // ==================================

                  //' The paymentAmount is the total value of
                  //' the shopping cart, that was set
                  //' earlier in a session variable
                  //' by the shopping cart page
                  //'------------------------------------
                  $paymentAmount = $_SESSION["Payment_Amount"];

                  $sql = "SELECT * FROM orders_shipping_address WHERE orderid={$_SESSION['orderId']}";

                  $shipToStreet = $shipping_address[0]['street1'];
                  $shipToStreet2 = $shipping_address[0]['street2']; //Leave it blank if there is no value
                  $shipToCity = $shipping_address[0]['city'];
                  $shipToState = "Romania";
                  $shipToCountryCode = "RO"; // Please refer to the PayPal country codes in the API documentation
                  $shipToZip = $shipping_address[0]['zip'];

                  //'------------------------------------
                  //' The currencyCodeType and paymentType

                                                                                                                     $shipToCountryCode, $shipToZip, $shipToStreet2, $phoneNum

                  $ack = strtoupper($resArray["ACK"]);
                  if($ack=="SUCCESS" || $ack=="SUCCESSWITHWARNING")
                  {
                             //dump($resArray);
                             //die;
                             $token = urldecode($resArray["TOKEN"]);
                             $_SESSION['reshash']=$token;
                             RedirectToPayPal ( $token );
                  }

any help would be really apreciated, thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Before calling SetExpressCheckout you need to add the items to the nvp string.

The extra parameters below add two products:

        &L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NAME0=productname
        &L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NUMBER0=productcode
        &L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_DESC0=product-description
        &L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT0=productamount
        &L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_QTY0=product-unit-price
        &L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NAME1=productname
        &L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NUMBER1=productcode
        &L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_DESC1=product-description
        &L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT1=productamount
        &L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_QTY1=product-unit-price
