can you give us information about version of PS, for which this method works?

Oh - it works after all (missed a liitle code) - PS1.5.4.1 and PayPal Module 3.5.1

By default Paypal module in prestashop add item number on the last page of the payment process.

Better idea would be to use reference no.

To change that, you have to go to modules/paypal/express_checkout/process.php and find:

1. 'token', 'id_product', 'id_p_attr', - change "id_product" to "reference"

2. $fields['L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NUMBER'.++$index] = (int)$product['id_product'];

change to:

$fields['L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NUMBER'.++$index] = $product['reference'];

3. $id_product = $product['id_product']; change to $id_product = $product['reference'];

and that's it

Can I do that with this trick?

Hi Nick,

 

Thanks for your suggested solution.

I am wondering also if it works this on the modules/paypal/express_checkout/process.php    of prestashop 1.6

 

I can't find exactly the code you say. I've found this though in the line 280:

 

 

private function setProductsList(&$fields, &$index, &$total)

    {

        foreach ($this->product_list as $product)

        {

            $fields['L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NUMBER'.++$index] = (int)$product['id_product'];

 

            $fields['L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NAME'.$index] = $product['name'];

 

 

Question: Do I change the third line here above, changing 'id_product' for 'reference'??

 

That simple cannot be! Could you confirm if this is so? Doing that I will receive the paypal bills with the number of reference of product, instead of number of article?

 

 

THANK YOU!

Oli,

 

I'm only using PS 1.5.6.4. but I'm sure that the method would still work. Back up your file and make the modification, then see if it still works. Let us know if it's still good.

 

Cheers,

Nick

using PayPalusa with 1.6.1.7 and need to replace the item # with reference # (SKU), The above method is for old version and can't figure out what file and what code to change to get this fixed?

 

Also Shipping appears as an item on paypal. Could it be changed to post into the shipping field in PayPal instead on item field?

 

Thanks
