Actinic v9 PayPal URLS deprecated

[graphicz]

I have a chap using Actinic v9 running a retirement hobby/business using PayPal.

He does not wish to go to the expense of an upgrade.

Paypal say that certain URLs were being deprecated and that they needed to be changed:

Existing URL
payflowpro.verisign.com
cr-payflow.verisign.com
payflow.verisign.com
payments.verisign.com

URL to move to
payflowpro.paypal.com
cr.cybercash.com
payflowpro.paypal.com (include USER, VENDOR, PARTNER, and PWD parameters in all API requests)
payflowlink.paypal.com

Respectively

I assumed the urls are specified in the PSP settings for Actinic?

Is it possible to edit these to enter the new urls or does the client have no choice but to upgrade?

Thanks

Jonathan

Take a look in OCCPaypalPro.pl in the CommonOCC folder.

Here are the patches to OCCPaypalPro.pl (Thank you Duncan...)

Lines 17 - 18

$::PAYPAL_LIVE_SERVER = 'payflowpro.paypal.com';
$::PAYPAL_TEST_SERVER = 'pilot-payflowpro.paypal.com';

Lines 743 - 750:

	if ($Self->{TESTMODE} == $::TRUE)
		{
		$SSLConnection->SetHeaderValue("Host", "test-payflowpro.paypal.com");
		}
	else
		{
		$SSLConnection->SetHeaderValue("Host", "payflowpro.paypal.com");
		}

And it does seem to work - no warranty express or implied!

I closed/opened Actinic, changed the cgi script number and refreshed through the Troubleshooting dialogue

A big thanks to Duncan & Graphicz for saving my life. I searched for days to find out what my PayPal website Payments Pro had stopped working in Actinic v9. Was in contact with my webhosts, sellerdeck and PayPal and none of them seemed to know about this!

This solution sorted it out straight away. Only weird thing is that the bounce page back to the host site where a customer has to confirm the order now has no CSS styling. Probably a separate issue though.

Hi David

I have had the issue of the bounce page not picking u[ the styles with a client's v12 site. I fixed it, then he upgraded to 12.0.6 and I had to fix it again.

This assumes that you have SSL on login and checkout pages?

The first fix maybe because your hosting company is moving to Cloud hosting and the traditional SSL port 443 no longer applies. Try this - no warranty express or implied and take a snapshot first!

The following is a workaround SD support have found: -
1. Go to your Site folder
2. Go to ActinicPXML.pm
3. Open in Notepad and find SERVER_PORT
4.
REPLACE:

if ($ENV{SERVER_PORT} == 443 &&
$sReplace =~ /^http:/)
{
$sReplace =~ s/^http:/https:/;
}

WITH:

my ($bSSL) = (defined $ENV{HTTPS} && $ENV{HTTPS} =~ /on/i) ? $::TRUE : $::FALSE;
if ($bSSL &&
$sReplace =~ /^http:/)
{
$sReplace = $$::g_pSetupBlob{'SSL_CATALOG_URL'};
}

File | Save and Exit.
Upload.

SD have noted this down as a bug (SD-5036).

The other thing I did with the client site was to change

<actinic:variable name="BaseHref" />

to

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%27Bounce%20Page%27%20OR%20%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%27PSP%20Bounce%20Page%27">
	<base href="https://www.yourdomainname/acatalog/">
</actinic:block>
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%21%3d%20%27Bounce%20Page%27%20OR%20%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%21%3d%20%27PSP%20Bounce%20Page%27" >
	<actinic:variable name="BaseHref" />
</actinic:block>

This might work.

If you don't have SSL then I don't kow what the issue is.

Good luck!
