Hello Filipkiewicz,

Did you set the API parameters in your PayPal account and in the PayPal module parameters of your back office?

Thanks,

Hello

I am new to Prestashop and I don't really know how to do it

Could you please tell me step by step what I have to download and after installing it what I have to do?

[Mr_PayPal]

You can find all the step on slideShare on this link :http://www.slideshare.net/PayPal_Demo/prestashop-14-7671884.

It's in french bit I'm pretty sure it's not a problem for you.

Hello!
I think this is not only PayPal related issue.
I have same warning using other online gateways (polish Przelewy24 and platnosci.pl).

I have found place where this message is generated, but no clue what I can do to resolve this problem.

This is 153 line in file ../classes/PaymentModule.php

// Creating order
           if ($cart->OrderExists() == false)
               $result = $order->add();
           else
           {
               $errorMessage = Tools::displayError('An order has already been placed using this cart.');
               Logger::addLog($errorMessage, 4, '0000001', 'Cart', intval($order->id_cart));
               die($errorMessage);
           }

           // Next !
           if ($result AND isset($order->id))
           {
               if (!$secure_key)
                   $message .= $this->l('Warning : the secure key is empty, check your payment account before validation');
               // Optional message to attach to this order
               if (isset($message) AND !empty($message))
               {
                   $msg = new Message();
                   $message = strip_tags($message, '
');
                   if (Validate::isCleanHtml($message))
                   {
                       $msg->message = $message;
                       $msg->id_order = intval($order->id);
                       $msg->private = 1;
                       $msg->add();
                   }
               }

Regards.

[SonnyBoyII]

The same problem after upgrading from ps1.36 to ps1.4.2_5.
Im using Barclays EPDQ payment gateway.

[curromad]

I come back to my 1.3 prestashop old version and all right properly!

[Tom_Rufener]

Same here, I'm getting the message "An order has already been placed using this cart" with all Payment Modules. I just upgraded from 1.3.6 to 1.4.2.5. EDIT: The "out-of-the-box" bankwire module works.

[kristianmu]

Same problem with "4b"gateway module.

[moony1234]

Bump, same here randomly, around 1 in 10 orders will give this error. Previously on Presta 1.3.5 and did not have this issue with Paypal...

help me

[Sexycalia]

the same problem with Prestashop 1.4.5.1

[jwzumwalt]

I have been plagued by this problem too. After researching it I found a developer that answered someones question about this.

 

The short answer is PS has added a check for a value on the payment module and if the var is not set you get the error - the var is not needed to function properly.

 

They edited and set the var on their modules but 3rd party developers were not notified so the var does not get set. In other words nothing different is happening other than the var was not set and it triggers an error message.

 

The comment is located at

http://forge.prestashop.com/browse/PSCFI-2365

 

Solution: Add the following line before line 153 (see Tomasz Olejnik above)...

../classes/PaymentModule.php

// Next!
// Var override to prevent obnoxious error
$secure_key = 1;
