PayPal item_name passed to IPN and PDP as “Shopping Cart” -
from around 10th august ‘17 ipn , pdt php programs both passed item_name
of shopping cart
intermittently (perhaps 1 in ten transactions) though item name hardcoded in 'paypal standard html' interface (i.e. user isn't given opportunity set it). uses simple
input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick"
so has no reason think in shopping cart call or rename item.
my guess html api's cmd=_xclick
(i.e. buynow) is, @ point in paypal's own processing, being handled cmd=_cart
, item_name
being treated unset (and paypal defaulting "shopping cart
").
when downloaded activity report, following fields blank on offending items: item title
, item id
, quantity
the payments processed (credited us) resulting bad ipn made order undeliverable: had no idea customer ordered!
this issue has been resolved @ paypal end. going forward, correct item name paypal.
