Variable Payment

I am trying to create a variable payment for Paypal.

I received this from Andrey in regards to a ticket I placed:

"This way you don't need customization at all.
Upgrade to aMember 3.2.4 or 3.3.0 both have allow to crteate accounts from paypal function.
Enable that in paypal plugin settings.
Then create regular paypal buttons. "

I enabled the feature in the amember admin section but I'm confused as to how to make it work...


By create regular paypal button, I'm assuming you are talking about something like this:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="KU55V27RCDHP6">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>


how does a regular paypal button send a response back to amember for that particular product?

I created a new product ID for this variable payment (id-7).

How do I tie the two together so that I can run a script to update the database when somebody makes a payment?

Thanks

If you properly integrate amember/paypal, paypal will notify amember (IPN) that the payment was made, and create a new account for that member, or add the product to the existing account (if the email is the same).

still need some help

I set up a test payment, it went through and Paypal is sending the information back to Amember; however, I have some setting wrong still because Amember isn't doing anything with the information. Here's the info out of the log file:

I have a product with ID 7 with a price of 0.00, duration is 0 (this is a one time payment) with everything else set to the defaults.

How do I tie the payment to the product?

Thanks

Trial Price

Trial 1 Price was empty for these tests

Anything else?

Screenshot

Screenshot attached, this payment was not initiated from the member.php page but from within the website (i.e. the user is logged in but the payment is a custom form):

<form id="payment3" name="payment" method="post" action="../amember/member.php">
<input type="hidden" name="paysis_id" value="paypal_r">
<input type="hidden" name="product_id" value="7">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="<?= number_format(($stored-$dailyLimit)*$perURL,2); ?>">

<div style="text-align: center">
<div id="paypalButton3">
<input type="image" src="../img/paypal_buynow.gif" border="0" id="paypalImage3" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
</div>
</div>
</form>

The value is calculated automatically based on user input.

No coupons used
