TOPIC: Paypal Error upon payment screen

Paypal Error upon payment screen 1 year, 3 months ago #67609

Hi,

I have used your sample paypal donation for so we can receive invoice payments via paypal via our website. However I keep getting this error at the paypal page :

The link you have used to enter the PayPal system contains an incorrectly formatted item amount.

There is a link to RETURN TO our site.

Could it be an issue with locale? We are in australia. I have entered en-AU

Thanks in advance =)
Sonya

Hi,

it's not really an issue. The paypal button was not intended to be for donations. Is it possible to enter a minimum donation amount in the button's settings? Then it would go away.

Regards,
Markus

Thanks for your reply Markus. I have tried entering one dollar without luck. I am still receiving the error at the paypal page. Any ideas? I think I must be doing something simple wrong.
Thanks again,
Sonya

Thanks again, however i changed locale to AU and am still getting the same error. Any other suggestions would be welcomed. =)

hmm, if the item amount is not correct then it probably didn't get transferred. Are you using anything special with the paypal button? Like the "magic" PayPalSelect feature?
