Hi, My name is Luther, I am new to this forum and I'm not sure whether I posted in the right section.

Anyway, I wanted to ask if you guys could help me figure out how to include the shipping cost and adding it to the total price of the items purchased in the Paypal. Firstly, I used the Beginning PHP and MySQL E-commerce book to build my e-commerce website. I have completed till the Storing customer orders and decided to use Paypal as my primary payment method.

Here is my Paypal form code (include/config.php):
// PayPal configuration
define('PAYPAL_URL',
'https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=sajeev_rai@hotmail.com');
define('PAYPAL_CURRENCY_CODE', 'USD');
define('PAYPAL_RETURN_URL', 'http://www.example.com');
define('PAYPAL_CANCEL_RETURN_URL', 'http://www.example.com');

Here are the screens:

I would appreciate your help. Please let me know if you want to see the rest of my codes. Thanks!

Hi Luther

You'll need to pass the shipping information to PayPal via a form variable, I found this thread on the PayPal developer forum that explains how to do it.

Appreciate it lawrence. I tried messing with the codes but still can't figure it out. The codes that they used are a little bit different than mine(xampp).

Here is some PHP code for Paypal I use. Does not include shipping but may help.

Code:

<form method="post" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" name="PayCredit">
          <div align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
            <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Pay through Secure Server at PayPal">
            <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="<?php print $PPCmd ?>">
   <?php if ($PPCmd=="_ext-enter") { ?>
   <input type="hidden" name="redirect_cmd" value="_xclick">
   <?php } ?>
            <input type="hidden" name="business" value="<?php print $PPMerchantID?>">
            <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Purchase from <?php print $MerchantName?>">
            <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="<?php print $FullInvoiceRef?>">
            <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="<?php print $InvoiceTotalf?>">
            <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="<?php print $PPCurrency?>">
</form>
