I'm trying to setup a simple Paypal subscription using DynReg 3.20.51 on DNN 4.8.4 and having some problems.

I am using the Paypal sandbox, and the following parameters string:

&email=$(Email)&currency_code=USD&a3=79.00&p3=1&t3=Y&no_note=1&no_shipping=1&item_name=$(SubDivision)&first_name=$(FirstN)&last_name=$(LastN)

When I arrive at the Paypal site, I am asked to enter an amount for the purchase .. it does not appear that the cmd=xclick_subscriptions is being sent, or am I missing something? Do I need to define the various subscriptions with Paypal first (I'm assuming this info is sent in the string).   

I have all the correct settings I believe in module config ...

Gateway Enabled = Yes

Payment Gateway=Paypal

Test Mode = checked (does this even apply to Paypal? My understanding is that this is for Authorize.net only)

Execute Gateway = Only Initial Reg

Calculation Total = (empty)

PayPal Login = my sandbox seller account

Paypal Payment Type = Subscription

Paypal Url = Sanbox.Paypal.com (NOTE spelling of Sandbox)

When I link to the Paypal site the url string looks like this ...

https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/ca/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=1r7pe6gn7MFa_3ZIkRSBOznkaS5JWivZeCITc4Zo9_A_TaziyR5FW0VpEP0&dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1f80512b0980fcab74abc3e59231243d18fb86b96d6baa4d65

(There are underscores that may not show above because of the underline on the url .... cmd=_flow, MFa_3Z, etc.)

On another note: I have used Paypal Purchase from Dyn Forms successfully in the past so I'm pretty sure I understand the basics .. not too different with Dyn Reg.

Otherwise, I use your modules a fair amount and I think they're great! Just need a little help with this subscription thing.

Hi Kelly,

I tried to duplicate this using the details you provided here but I'm not getting the same response.  So, let's do one of these:  1.  Can you give us temporary edit rights to your site?  If you want to do this, please open a support ticket and provide us with login/password (preferably host).  OR 2.  please set up your page on betasprings.com and let us know the name of your page.

Either way, we'll get this figured out. 

Thanks,

Candace

Thanks Candace, I have summitted a support ticket on Snowcovered .. I hope that is what you where you wanted me to submit it.

Thanks

Kelly

I'm having the same issue - did you find anything yet?  I'm sure it's my same problem!

Thanks

Hi Aj,


We found in Kelly's case that there was a problem with the subscription link and we were able to fix that.  However, before I move forward, I just want to verify that this fix is appropriate for your situation.  Are you trying to set up a subscription (not a purchase) and encountering the same problem?

Let me know, ok?

Candace

yes, I am trying to set up a monthly subscription.

Thanks!

Aj - Did you get this resolved?

Hi Chad, Candace helped me out with the 3.20.56 version which solved the cmd=xclick-subscriptions problem. However, once that was resolved I proceeded to setup completion events .. some work some don't .. specifically the add to role events.

I have setup a similar scenario on beta springs and it produces the same results I have on my production site. I have a few notes listed on my beta srings page ...

I think I have everything setup correctly .. but still no go.

Kelly

Registration linked to PayPal correctly.

 

Success redirect went to Transaction Complete page.  Tied to Redirect Successfully. 

 

Subscriber Role was added.  Tied to Completed (Subscription Signup).

 

Arbitrary Role was added.  Tied to Completed (Subscription Signup).

 

Subscription Signup Email fired correctly.  Tied to Completed (Subscription Signup).

 

Subscription Payment Email fired correctly.  Tied to Completed (Subscription Payment).

 

Chad - yes - it seems to be OK - I haven't set up the event for the create/update user event - but I do get the correct amount being passed -

For others - my issue Chad noticed I was using A3, T3, P3 --- but they shouldn't be capital - you should use a3, t3, p3

Thanks for the help!

Kelly,

I wanted to point you to a Dynamic Registration called CodeGrad PayPal Subscription over at betasprings.com.  This is a working demo for deleting a role after a subscription is cancelled.  Pls. review it and let us know if you have questions, ok?

Thanks,

Candace

Hi Candace, Thanks for your direction ... I continued to experiment with my betasprings page but ran into all kinds of problems. I think a majority of it had to to do with other users and other modules so I gave up there.

I tried this setup on my HockeyCoach install and all works well, I have setup the remove role sql and that works great too. I can confirm that a user does not get created when the default event Create User is set to fire on Subscriptyion Signup or Success Redirect. On my system, the user was only created when I set the default event Create User to fire on Subscription Payment Complete.

Another issue I found was that when I use echeck, the PayPal IPN states "Pending" however, it fires the email that is set to fire only on Payment Complete. Yet, the user is not created until the payment clears.

I am also trying to setup dynamic completion events with no success. On payment complete, I have a completion event to add a role based on a dynamic event (user selected a subscription level/role). I can add the role just fine but when I introduce a dynamic event, the role is not added. 

So, in a nutshell ... all works fine except adding a role based on Payment completion dynamic event (user selection). I'm search the product forum for solutions .....
