Sorry - got off topic there. I found stamps.com and that's working great for labels. New problem - I just installed an SSL cert for my website and now Paypal only works if I set PrestaShop to force all pages to use SSL. I'd rather keep the shop pages as http and just use https for payment - which looks right when I set it that way except the payments don't work correctly. Once I submit payment on an order, these are the problems: 1. I get a big grey box at the bottom of the page where the Paypal layout C used to be. 2. The payment goes through to Paypal just fine, but the order is not generated in Prestashop. Everything was great before I installed the SSL cert. :-/ Any ideas to fix this?

Nevermind! I cleared Smarty cache and everything went back to normal!! At least I have the date and time of a Paypal transaction so if I need to go back in the event of a discrepancy I can use that. And it's good that Paypal passes a "payment accepted" status over to PrestaShop, too.

Oh my. Bellini I copied your code into line 414 but I think I left a piece off. It broke my site (blank white page!!), so I reverted back to the original paypalusa.php. The site is back, but it looks a little crazy and there are some theme pieces missing - ACK! After reviewing the code again it looks like this is for Paypal standard and I have Paypal Pro. Why didn't reverting back to the original file fix the website problem?? What can I do now?? ACK! In a panic, L

Wow, thank you both for the great info!! Bellini, I'll try that in about an hour and let you know how it goes. The reason I wanted to get this info in there in the first place was because Paypal makes it easy to print a label using that customer address info. However, it just dawned on me today that the customer's paypal address might be outdated (as opposed to what they listed for shipping in the store), in which case the package would be sent to the wrong address anyway. Hm. Ok let me try this code change to see if it brings in the name and email to Paypal at least. Slightly off topic: If you don't use Paypal for shipping the orders, what do you use for printing packing slips and generating labels? Thank you so much to both, I really appreciate it. I'll post again with the results of the code change soon. Cheers!

Thank you for the very detailed explanation, surferboy! It fixed most of my payment issues... except one. When an order is processed via credit card (not paypal account but just plain old credit card), NONE of the customer information is passed over to Paypal. Here's what my Paypal account says: Name: NotProvided (The sender of this payment is Unregistered) Email: No email address included So I have no way of knowing who to ship the order to, which is of course an issue I need to resolve before launch day. Any advice?

Hello, I'm preparing to launch my little online store and I need some advice about mobile sales. A few times a year I'll be selling my product in person at events, and I'm trying to plan the best approach to process these offline orders. I'd like to keep all the inventory and sales data in PrestaShop (for reporting purposes), but it's of course not reasonable to ask customers to go through the entire web ordering process at the time of purchase in person. Plus there will be cash transactions. I have a Square card reader and a Paypal Here reader. My shop runs Paypal Pro (Advanced, the $5/mo plan) for payments. I'm not as concerned with cost-of-transaction as I am with keeping all the data in PrestaShop. Your thoughts?
