PayPal PDT not working in Sandbox

  • Am getting error message “Paypal failed to recognize order — Maybe order too old or does not exist” when running thru the Sandbox. tx # from paypal corresponds to the transaction #, and sandbox accounts are registering as “completed”. I did check the PDT token that it is not truncated, as another user posted.
    What am I missing? I assume this feature would still work with the Sandbox option active.

    I’ve had to update a couple of things to get Sandbox to work….

    The file is classes/paypal.php

    First, In order for me to get the sandbox to work, I had to go with the Secure option in SCABN Settings.

    Then, I had to update the line that connects to paypal to include the Sandbox address, not the live Paypal address as follows:

    if ($scabn_options['paypal_connection'] == 'https' ) {
$fp = fsockopen ('ssl://www.sandbox.paypal.com', 443, $errno, $errstr, 30);

    This was at least getting me into the right direction, but there was an error returned about an invalid Header. So, after some research. I’ve added the following line in the $header string.

    $header .= "POST /cgi-bin/webscr HTTP/1.0\r\n";
		$header .= "Host: www.sandbox.paypal.com\r\n";
		$header .= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
		$header .= "Content-Length: " . strlen($req) . "\r\n\r\n";

    (I added line 2 of these four lines. Lines 1, 3, and 4 are original to the plugin)

    It would be nice to make this work solely on the basis of the SCABN options (Live vs sandbox), but This one at least gets me something more than an error message. I can change the sandbox to live later.
