Paypal Payments Plugin for WordPress

Hi,
Sorry no it doesn’t. You can set up monthly payments but not using the classic API. I did try to get this to work but the buyer needs to have an authorized credit cards on their account along with all sorts of other limitations.

Hi Warren,
Change the shortcode to [qpp id=’Donation’ labels=’off’] and you will just have the amount field showing. If you want to set the donation amount you could even try [qpp id=’Donation’ amount=’$10,$20,$50,$100′ labels=’off’]. If you go to the plugin setting’s shortcodes page you will see more options.

Hi Mo,
This is possible. I can add a new field to the ‘send options’ and allow a shortcode attribute. I will send you an update for testing.

Mo,
I sent you the update yesterday. Can you check your inbox

The oops message only appears if you haven’t filled in all the details on the the form and before paypal even gets involved. Can you send me the URL of the page so I can check the code. The normal problem is the names you have given to the forms.

Oh thank you for looking and for the very speedy response.
The address is
http://Www.ruggerooz.com/ten-weeks/
Also it won’t let me upload a pic under paypal image, just won’t happen.

Again thank you.

David,
What you need to do is change the shortcode to [qpp form=”tenweeks” amount=”£110″] then it will work the way you want it to.

As to the images, I found a bug in the code. It’s now fixed. Expect an update soon…

Thank you so much worked perfectly. If anyone is reading this i highly recommend all of the plugins from this guy.

Hello,
Sorry to bother you again. could you take a look at these pages for me. There all set up for paypal but none of them seem to work anymore? I just can’t work it out.

http://ruggerooz.com/twenty-weeks/
http://ruggerooz.com/fifteen-weeks/
http://ruggerooz.com/ten-weeks/

No bother.
Twenty weeks and Ten weeks worked fine. Fifteen weeks wanted to open a popup and then hung.

Oh, that’s strange I just get the oops message on all of them.

Did you fill in the name box?

I am thick, I didn’t. Plus with the ‘fifteenweeks’ all I did was took off opening a link in another window.
I promise I will stop bothering you with my foolishness.

Many thanks.

Foolishness is not the problem. Ignoring the advice is. Glad it’s all working for you now.

Hi Quan,
Yes it is

Hi Doug,
That shouldn’t be a problem. I can do it two ways. As a set of values in the shortcode or as an option box on the form settings. Do you have preference?

Hi Suleman,
Use the plugin widget and enter the id and amount in the boxes. Now go to the plugin settings page and delete the shortcode labels from the form settings tab.

That should do it for you.

After swappping emails with Joe the problem seems to have fixed itself. PayPal is now accepting payments again and all is well. But there can be conflict problems if you have a donate buttom on the same page. PayPal knows about this but points out you should only be using the donate button if you are a fund raising organisation, which means you wouldn’t need the plugin as well.

That’s a great suggestion Tim,
I’m adding a whole bunch of new features to the plugin so will add this to the list. Ok to send you an copy of the update for testing?

Great!
Yes I am more than happy to help test new versions. Send em through Graham!

Sorry one more thing. In the form settings, the ‘Change Form’ button doesn’t seem to work. Are you aware of any causes ?

Hi Tim,
It’s all working for me. The ‘change form’ button doesn’t save anything, it just lets you select a different form.

I can add a shortcode for redirections – but it’s might be easier to just set up a new form. how desperate are you for this?

Hi Graham,
Thanks for your response. Yes I just created another form. All good there.

Regarding the ‘Change Form’ button, yes I understand it’s function however it simply doesn’t work for me. I can only edit the last form a created and can’t change forms.

When you select a different form and click on change form does the radio button change or go back to the current form?

I’m not really sure how it can’t work, it’s a simple function that just saves the selection and displays the result. It’s the same one that I use to create a new form.

Sorry, It does work. I just didn’t know it was a radio button as it displays as a blue dot only.
Feeling stupid! lol

Hi Shabnam,

You need to tweak your shortcodes to add the form name: [qpp form=”3Sessions” id=”3 Sessions” amount=”£95″]

Your colours will work and paypal will be happy.

Thanks, Graham, for a very speedy and helpful reply. Much appreciated!

The paypal error problem is fixed, but 2 of the buttons look as if they are on steroids! They seem to be fixing size at 100% even though I select same px setting as for the (third) button, which is the size I want. Ditto the colour of the pay button, can’t get it to change to green.

Any ideas, please?

Thank you

Shabnam

Graham, it seems to be a firefox issue. GoogleC and Aol are fine. I will leave it be and see if it just taking time to update….

Thanks for your help.

Shabnam

Looks like the forms need a bit of a tweak. If you can email me a login to your site I will fix it for you.

Hi Victoria,
The shortcode is: [qpp id=”Green Widget” amount=”$49.99″ labels=”off”]. If you have a named form then used: [qpp form=”test” id=”Green Widget” amount=”$49.99″ labels=”off”]
If you don’t want the labels on anything just go to the form settings page and delete the shortcode labels. There are some more examples on the plugin ‘Shortcodes’ page.

Hi Peter,
Those words are not from the plugin. I’ve just tested the plugin as a widget and it went straight to paypal. Can you send me the URL of the problem page?

Mehta,
The problem is the form is expecting you to enter a value in the ID field. Change the shortcode to [qpp id=”ICREG” amount=”$150″] and it should work.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I was not expecting a reply for few days, particularly today being a X’mas day.

It works as you mentioned, but I couldn’t make the connection why ID has to be there?? Probably, a guide to use certain parameters and their prerequisites might HELP.

Another question: When looking from the PAYPAL side, the entry appears that the “ITEM TITLE” = “Payable Labels” joined with “FORM name”, while the “ITEM ID” in PAYPAL is “:” (colons). I don’t understand the logic here. I was/am expecting to see “FORM name” in the “TITLE ID”: Or is there way to push “FORM name” in to “TITLE ID” field of the PAYPAL transaction?

Thank you again.

Mehta,
The ID is the reference number of the payment. It would normally be the invoice number, the name of the donor or, as you have done, a reference to the type of donation. The form name is only used if you have multiple forms. So for example you could set up a form for each type of donation and have different ID and amount for each. If you only have the one donation form you don’t need a named form.

There are examples of how to use the attributes on the plugin settings ‘shortcodes’ tab.

Hi Brad,
Go to dashboard > settings > PayPal payments. Click on form settings and change the shortcode label. The quantity field is optional, you will see the checkbox on the settings page.
To add the form to your page use the shortcode [qpp amount=’$25′]. The plugin then sorts everything else out for you.

Hi Ken,

Like this: [qpp id=”product name” amount=”£99″]

You can then change the labels on the ‘form Settings’ page.

Hi James,

It’s because you have an apostrophe in the name of your form. Try using fees instead of fee’s. What you can also do is set up a form for each of the classes. Just use the shortcode [qpp id=”Tone and Groan”] and repeat for each class. All the payee has to then do is add the amount.

Hi Graham. Thanks for suggestion i like the idea of having one for each class. I have changed the name of the form to classes but unfortunately I still seem to get dollars on the paypal screen. Is there anything else I can try?

Also I seem to be having a problem on Internet Explorer with the text being only half on display. Works fine in safari. Ive tried changing the styling options but nothing seems to have any effect?

James,

Delete the payment forms called ‘fees’ and change the shortcode to [qpp form=”Classes”] – you are using a lowercase c in the shortcode but the named form has a capital C.

The line height thing in IE is because of the theme styles. They are overriding the plugin styles.

Not really. Everybody has different fee structures depending on their country and account type. What I could do is have a field on the plugin settings where you could set the admin fee. You would have to have something on your site that says ‘$2 admin charge’. How urgent is this?

The image you have chosen can’t really be expanded to fit the width of the plugin. What you could do is find a large paypal button and edit it using photoshop or whatever but it’s not something the plugin can do for you. Sorry about that.

Thanks for the reply. Is there custom CSS to make the width of the form 30% (or whatever %) instead of 100% (non-pixel option)? My auto (or at 100%) submit button words look blurry. Thanks again.

Hi Jill,

That would make it very complex. Are you sure you can’t find/edit a different button? When I looked on Google images there were hundreds to choose form.

Hi,
Here is the test site page with the QPP. The button is the one created on the fly by the plugin. Any suggestions to make it unblurry?

Thanks!

There appears to be a text shadow. If you change the submit button color to red you can see the white shadow. This style is somewhere in your theme or one of your plugins. I’ve had a look but can’t find it. If you can find the style that is doing this we can then write a custom style to remove it.

Hi Luke.

Probably the easiest way is to get a copy of the plugin and change all the ‘qpp’ into ‘qpp-german’. You also need to change the filename from ‘quick-paypal-plugin.php into quick-paypal-german.php. You can then install the new plugin and use the shortcode [ qpp-german ]. I did a quick test and it did work.

There are lots more tweaks you can do. If you email me I will explain all the details.

Graham
