Custom Checkout Page Style Not Working

Hi Dennis Lam, are you referring to

Automatic redirection to checkout page = Enter a URL for the page if selected

If you are then you would enter the following in the empty field…https://www.yourdomain.com/customtest if that is the page you have created and if that is your page URL path.

Let me know if that helps you

Kind regards

No, I am talking about the ability to select a “Custom Checkout Page Style.”

See here for details about this PayPal feature: https://www.paypal.com/customize

I assume your “Custom Checkout Page Style Name” field in your plugin settings sets an advanced PayPal IPN variable called “page_style” that lets me tell that button to direct me to the paypal checkout page with a specific theme/style I set up on PayPal’s end.

LMK if this makes sense.

Sorry for misunderstanding you. I now know what you mean. I am checking this option now.

What PayPal account do you have set up?

Can you enable debug to check the log files?

I have a PayPal Business Account. I know the custom checkout pages do work because when I manually create a PayPal button link with page_style=”NAMEOFSTYLE” specified in the button’s advanced variables, I get the right custom checkout page I am looking for.

Let me enable debug and check my log file…

Hi Denis Lam, how did you go with your debug testing?

I enabled logging and reset my debug file. I then added items to the cart and proceed to checkout. As expected, I do not see the custom checkout page template specified used.

So I go back to the settings and view the debug log. I only see this message:

[07/07/2014 1:39 AM] – SUCCESS : Log file reset

Please advise…

Hi Denis Lam can you check the source code on the shopping cart page to see if the following has been added..

page_style=”NAMEOFSTYLE”

If not can you add the following in the shopping cart checkout form. Make sure you change hte page_style name.

<input type=”hidden” name=”page_style” value=”PayPal”>

Can you share your URL.

Thank you

I see this hidden input field where each of my cart buttons are located in my source code:

<input type=”hidden” name=”page_style” value=”NAMEOFSTYLE”>

Here is actually the form HTML from my source code where I use the plugin button shortcode:

<form method="post" class="wp-cart-button-form" action="" style="display:inline" onsubmit="return ReadForm(this, true);"><input type="submit" value="Add to Cart" /><input type="hidden" name="product" value="Test Product" /><input type="hidden" name="price" value="52" /><input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="2" /><input type="hidden" name="addcart" value="1" /><input type="hidden" name="cartLink" value="https://myserver.com/store/" /><input type="hidden" name="product_tmp" value="Test Product" /><input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="" /><input type="hidden" name="page_style" value="NAMEOFSTYLE" /></form>

However, at the bottom of the cart where the Checkout with PayPal button is, I do not see this hidden input field. This is the form I see generated there:

`<form action=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr&#8221; method=”post” ><br />
<input type=”hidden” name=”item_name_1″ value=”Test Product” /><br />
<input type=”hidden” name=”amount_1″ value=’160.00′ /><br />
<input type=”hidden” name=”quantity_1″ value=”1″ /><br />
<input type=’hidden’ name=’item_number_1′ value=” /><br />
<input type=”hidden” name=”shipping_1″ value=’9.50′ /><input type=”hidden” name=”no_shipping” value=”2″ /><input type=”image” src=”https://myserver.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-simple-paypal-shopping-cart/images/paypal_checkout_EN.png&#8221; name=”submit” class=”wp_cart_checkout_button” alt=”Make payments with PayPal – it\’s fast, free and secure!” /><input type=”hidden” name=”return” value=”https://myserver.com?reset_wp_cart=1&#8243; /><input type=”hidden” name=”notify_url” value=”https://myserver.com/?simple_cart_ipn=1&#8243; /><br />
<input type=”hidden” name=”business” value=”[email protected]” /><br />
<input type=”hidden” name=”currency_code” value=”USD” /><br />
<input type=”hidden” name=”cmd” value=”_cart” /><br />
<input type=”hidden” name=”upload” value=”1″ /><br />
<input type=”hidden” name=”rm” value=”2″ /><br />
<input type=”hidden” name=”charset” value=”utf-8″ /><br />
<input type=”hidden” name=”mrb” value=”3FWGC6LFTMTUG” /><input type=”hidden” name=”custom” value=”wp_cart_id=1017&ip=MYIPADDRESS” /></form>`

Do you think if the hidden input field for page_style is present at the checkout button form, that would solve it?

Hi Denis Lam, yes I think that would solve your problem. Of course I am sure that you are replacing the value=”NAMEOFSTYLE” with the correct name…

Kind regards

Adding the hidden input field in the checkout button form solved the issue. To do this, I added this to Line 433 of wp_shopping_cart.php.

<input type="hidden" name="page_style" value="'.$page_style_name.'" />

Also added this to Line 417 to define the variable $page_style_name.

$page_style_name = get_option('wp_cart_paypal_co_page_style');

Are you able to roll out a new update to fix this problem?

We have applied the fix in the code. So it will be there in the next update of this plugin. Thank you for finding the bug.
