Nightform Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I'd like to know how to create a custom return page after a customer does a paypal purchase, i created another paypal account apart from the one i'm using for the site, to make a test buy, everything works 100%, but when you return to the site from paypal, it doesn't show or tell you how to get your digital downloads, cause to get it you need to select profile, and go into digital downloads, i've also noticed that the download images next to the files doesn't appear, i'm using the E-tone black theme,. i want to create a return page which explains how you can access the downloads, before a customer starts getting worried after making a purchase, Also i'd like to ask, it doesn't look like paypal account optional is working, it's set to on, but when you select paypal from the basket, the pay with credit card/debit card doesn't appear, you can only register or login with paypal, i don't know if it has anything to do with the themes which are used, cause i remember it working, but i changed some setting or something to make it go away, it's set on in my paypal selling preferences I also tried activating and de-activating the features in store settings, i just can't get the debit/credit card feature to work anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsmither Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 In the E-Tone template file content.downloads.php, line 13, the link for the download icon image points to:{$STORE_URL}/skins/{$SKIN_FOLDER}/images/common/file_download.pngBut there is no /common/ folder.Suggest:{$STORE_URL}/skins/{$SKIN_FOLDER}/images/file_download.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 "how to create a custom return page"That would be nice. I'll look into it. In the meantime, the email that CubeCart sends to the customer will have the links there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightform Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Yeah i see that the image url points to /skins/e-tone/images/common/file_download.png and the folder isn't there, but the file_download.png is in the /skins/e-tone/images/ folder, i created the common folder and added my own custom image for it, it's working again thanks for the help ! but i still don't know how to get the debit payment with paypal to work, it worked before, but there's something i did to make it go away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I hope someone who is more familiar with PayPal can assist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I use PayPal as the gateway. I've never been able to get the Express to accept credit/debit cards, rather than requiring the creation of a PP account. How recently did you get it to work without creating a PP account? I don't sell digital files, so I can't help with anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightform Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 It was only like 2 days ago, but i was changing settings and themes and stuff all the time, i changed some setting by mistake, and i don't know which it is, i'm starting to think that it could possibly be the theme i was using, and i have all the themes for v6, but the one i finally like which fits for my site is e-tone, i can't remember which theme i had when it was able to accept direct credit/debit card payment with paypal, i'll have to try each theme until works, but it may not be that, i just can't figure it out, and i tried searching google for answers but i'm not lucky with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 We don't take credit debit cards on our store. We send buyers to PayPal where they can pay with card or pp account. It sounds like you were using pp plugin, not gateway, and accepting card numbers on your site. Is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightform Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 here's the site, www.nightformmusic.co.za the only place you can enter your card number is when when you're in paypal, and that's run on their server, not mine, so i'm not sure what you're talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 You have 2 choices. One is the gateway PayPal and the other is the Express choice on the PayPal plugin. Both send to PayPal to input card details. Whichever one you have enabled now, try the other one. Hopefully the other one will work for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havenswift-hosting Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Yeah i see that the image url points to /skins/e-tone/images/common/file_download.png and the folder isn't there, but the file_download.png is in the /skins/e-tone/images/ folder, i created the common folder and added my own custom image for it, it's working again thanks for the help !So this looks like a bug within that third party skin. The listing says this and their other skins were developed for V5 but will work with V6 - there are an increasing number of changes required to V5 skins for them to be able to function correctly with V6. This however simply looks like a bug - you should always test any issues you are having with a standard core skin to see if they still happen as that eliminates and issues caused by third party skinsIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightform Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Why now when i change currencies the prices stays fixed, like something would cost R100 south african rand, which should then be $8 us dollars, but when you change the currency it becomes $100, so i changed the main currency back to dollars, and now when you select rand from the homepage, it becomes 10 rand, since i made the product 10 dollars, and i selected update exchange rates before i changed anything, oh wait i see, somehow the auto updated exchange rate made rand and dollar 1 vs 1, it costs R12 for one dollar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightform Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 The exchange rates appears to be all wrong from the auto exchange update, when you select Euros the album costs .70 euro cents, lol, is it just me experiencing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsmither Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Did you get your currencies straightened out? I see $10 -> R121.90 -> €9.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightform Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Yeah thanks ! i did, i entered it manually, checked google, but i'm not sure if it was when i chose to use the rand as the default currency which then made the board use the rand as the central figure, like it appears that the dollar is fixed, it'll always be on 1.00 so the fetch rates works around the dollar, and when i chose the rand, it worked around the rand it appears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightform Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Cause i was trying to make it a round figure, 100 rand an album, 10 rand a song, then despite the exchange rate changing, i'll get that amount, but it's alright i just made it all .8 and 8, almost a R100 now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I think the current way the currencies work is this:Pick the store's default currency. The default currency is what CubeCart uses internally everywhere! It is also what is sent to your payment processor, so choose your payment processor wisely.In Currencies, now set the exchange rate for the default currency to 1.00000. If you now use the Update Rates function, all the other currencies will have their exchange rates adjusted against the default.Now, you can manually change the exchange rate (mouse-click on the number, it changes to an editable field) of any currency other than the default. Save.As I said, CubeCart uses the default currency internally, so all your money amounts will be entered assuming that currency - but do not include the currency symbol, use only the period as the decimal point, and do not use commas, apostrophes, spaces or anything else to denote thousands separator.CubeCart will make the exchange rate conversion for display purposes only. That is, if the visitor wants to see Australian Dollars, CubeCart will use the value you entered as the item price, make the exchange rate conversion (even for 1.00000), add the currency symbol, and display the result.

Nightform Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Thanks, I'll look into editing it in that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Getting back to the original post, "[the transaction complete page] doesn't show or tell you how to get your digital downloads."So, when an order has been successfully transacted, and CubeCart gets properly notified about it, and then properly moves the order to Processing (or Completed), then CubeCart shows the skin template content.receipt.php. This template shows the order summary and the items of the order.CubeCart also sets up a notification banner that reads, "Many thanks for your order! Payment has been received and your order is now being processed." We can add to that message an additional phrase that says (if there is a digital product in this order), "You may download your digital files from your store account download area." And if logged in, give a link to the downloads area.If this is a 'ghost' customer, they won't have an account area, so the message may read instead, "An email has been sent with the links to your digital files."Another option is to place the download links in the receipt template.We can do one or both.

Nightform Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Well i haven't made any sales yet, apart from my own test sales, so maybe when a customer one day decides to buy a track or an album we'll see, maybe around then there'll be a new cubecart version with a nice fix or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
