   @John, this plugin doesn’t have a disable option like you explained. However, you should be able to use CSS tweak to hide the button (to achieve a similar outcome).

   @Robin, Looks like the price that was actually paid was altered by the user (dynamically changing price is not allowed to protect the merchant from getting scammed). Some customers will try various techniques to pay a lower amount. So the plugin has a verification process to make sure that doesn’t happen. Who was this customer and and why did he pay an amount different than what you specified in the payment button? Send an email to this user and ask to get more clarification as to what he did.

   Hi,
   A customer paid but order did not go through. She received notice from paypal that she paid but there is no cart order record showing this transaction.

   Error log shows this:
   [08/08/2020 3:32 PM] – SUCCESS :Checking price. Original price: 50. Paid price: 10
   [08/08/2020 3:32 PM] – FAILURE :Error! Post payment price validation failed. The price amount may have been altered. This transaction will not be processed.
   [08/08/2020 3:32 PM] – FAILURE :Original total price: 50. Paid total price: 10

   Why would there be an incorrect original total price?

   @Jeff, The plugin has an option to export the Orders data to a CSV file. You can find the option in the following interface of your admin dashboard:

   Simple Cart -> Tools -> Export Cart Orders Data
7. Jeff Campagna says:

   HI. Been using your great plugin for several years. Is there a add-on that exports the orders to csv?

   @Pierre, What do you mean by “the arrow keys no longer adjust the value”? You can’t change the count using the arrow key or entering the number in the field?
9. Pierre says:

   Hi,
   It appears that with the recent change (4.4.6) “Changed the quantity input field to be a “number” type field. Customers will be able to change the number value easily.” the arrow keys no longer adjust the value once there is more than one item in the cart.
   Regards,
   Pierre

    @Ryan, Please check to make sure the PayPal IPN feature is enabled in your PayPal account (so our plugin is receiving the payment notification after a payment):

    Hi,

    I have ticked the box to send the buyer an email once payment is complete, but no emails are coming through.

    Any ideas of how I can fix this as it is vital. Also, where will the custom fields entered with your additional plugin appear?

    Thanks.

    @Konstantinos, The purchases go to the “Orders” menu in your admin dashboard. You can edit some details there.
13. Konstantinos Stoumpos says:

    how can I check if the transaction is completed? I have set up paypal IPN, but I would like to update user info when a purchase is made.
14. admin says:

    @Dirk, That portion of the video is showing how you enable the IPN feature in your PayPal account. You just have to use the home page URL of your own site. The following page talks more about enable the IPN feature. Hopefully that will be more clear to you:

    Hi,
    Having trouble with the video “Selling digital media files” or to be precise the Paypal configuration. At 1:02 the speaker says “and here you can paste the grumbleflutebeep of your website”. I listened again and again but I cannot understand the word (sorry, not a native speaker). It appears the speaker paste a URL into the field but which? The grumbleflutebeep of my website? But if I fill in grumbleflutebeep I get an error. What shall I do now?

    @Heather, You should be able to use the following addon to collect additional data from the customer during checkout:

17. Heather says:

    Is there a way to collect address and phone number (mostly as an alternate means of communication) info from a buyer on the Simple Paypal Shopping Cart regardless if there is no shipping being included in the purchase?
18. admin says:

    @vgrayson, The email settings menu of the plugin allows you to customize the outgoing sale notification emails to the customers.
19. vgrayson says:

    hello, really like your simple shopping cart. Is it possible to customize outgoing emails to customer and notifications? Maybe with CSS?
20. REZA says:

    THANKS IT WAS SO USEFUL
21. Chanel Stone says:

    @RU, All you have to do is enter your PayPal in the email settings menu. Whenever someone pays, the money will go to that PayPal account.
22. RU says:

    Hi,

    How can I connect the Paypal account to the Shopping Cart/Button?

    p.s. Instant payments enabled. Email address in the settings is also added.
23. admin says:

    @Maxim, It means you are using some kind of caching on this site. That is making the button have stale nonce value. You can go to the settings menu of this plugin and check the following checkbox to disable the nonce check on your site:
    `
    Disable Nonce Check for Add to Cart
    `
24. Maxime says:

    Hi,
    How to solve this error? Error! Nonce Security Check Failed!
    Thank you,
    Maxime

    @Bert, only numbers are valid for the quantity field. What kind of items are you selling?
26. bert says:

    Hi, great plugin.
    Have you experienced difficulties when selling quantities with decimal places (e.g 1.75)?
27. admin says:

    @Cherri, You can also create a very simple one file custom plugin and put the code in there.
28. Cherri says:

    I am trying to change out the default button for the Check out with PayPal for something more flat and modern. I followed your instructions to add the code provided with the URL to my image in the media library but the theme will not accept the code. Is there another option?
29. admin says:

    @Paul, The customer info will come from PayPal and the plugin will capture it with the order details (in the orders menu). You can also collect additional custom data using the following addon:

30. Paul says:

    Is there a way of integrating a payment form so the customer can leave their details (name address etc)? I’m wanting to use this plug in to enable payments for workshops that I run and would need a one click payment and customers details all in one, if that makes sense?
31. admin says:

    @Darren, Are you trying to do the following?

32. Darren says:

    Hi, need some help here. I can’t seems to link my add to cart button to the check out page. Anyone know what’s wrong with my code?
33. admin says:

    @Elise, Go to the settings menu of this plugin. Then look for the settings field called “Paypal Email Address”. Enter you paypal email address (where the money should go to) in that field.
34. Elise says:

    Hi ;
    I just set up this plugin in my word press sight, easy peasy, thank you. My concern is, I cannot find where to enter my PayPal account information in order to receive payments into my PayPal account. Please point the way.

    Thank you,

    Elise

    @Hannah, Which shortcode is it? Please edit the page in “text” mode (from the WordPress editor) to make sure you don’t have any hidden HTML tags wrapped around the shortcode (that can break the shortcode’s functionality).
36. Hannah says:

    When I add the shortcode to a page the icon comes up but when I click it, I do not get directed to a Paypal page. It just reloads to the page the button is on. Can someone help with this?
37. admin says:

    @malgal128, Yeah this plugin can handle the selling of digital products. You specify your download link for the product in the shortcode. Each product can have different download links. After the sale, the plugin will send the digital product’s URL (for the product the customer purchased) to the customer’s email.
