Please is there some Step by Spet guide for using paypal with A2B? Thanks in advance.

Dear friend

I had a very hard time with the paypal configuration. and i know most people that uses paypal with a2billing will agree. It looks very simple but if your a2billing.conf file is not configure correctly it will never work.

My biggest issue was getting customers balance updated after payment.

so I put together a small step by step configuration that help me and migth help some people

I will attached a word document with the structions

The best of luck

I took the liberty of adding confirmation to another thread where this was suggested, that this did solve the problem for you.
If you're interested in helping to document A2Billing it would be preferable for you to work on the Wiki. Please contact jroper or myself via PM if this is of interest to you.

You should change your transaction_key now we all know it.
Port 443 (https) yes, but definitely not Microsoft Directory Services (port 445)!

First, I would like to congratulate the developers on an amazing product. You have once again affrirmed my faith in open source. The only lacking area I can think of though is documentation, which I am sure the pros are working at

I followed the steps in the Word file to get paypal payments to work (but only allowed port 443 as stavros says its not required). here is what happened:

1. I was asked to confirm if I wanted to use the certificate.
2. Once I accepted the certificate, I got https://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/A2BCustomer_UI/ ... cessdenied

Can anyone help me to figure out what the problem is? Following is a paste from the a2billing.conf:

[epayment_method]
enable = yes
; eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
http_server = "http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"
; eg, https://localhost - Enter here your Secure Server Address, should not be empty for productive servers
https_server = "https://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"
; Enter your Domain Name or IP Address, eg, 26.63.165.200
http_cookie_domain = XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
; Enter your Secure server Domain Name or IP Address, eg, 26.63.165.200
https_cookie_domain = XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
; Enter the Physical path of your Application on your server
http_cookie_path = "/A2BCustomer_UI/"
; Enter the Physical path of your Application on your Secure Server
https_cookie_path = "/A2BCustomer_UI/"
; Enter the Physical path of your Application on your server
dir_ws_http_catalog = "/A2BCustomer_UI/"
; Enter the Physical path of your Application on your Secure Server
dir_ws_https_catalog = "/A2BCustomer_UI/"

; Enter the Physical path of your Application on your Secure Server
dir_ws_https_catalog = "/A2BCustomer_UI/"
; secure webserver for checkout procedure?
enable_ssl = YES

http_domain = XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

dir_ws_http = "/var/www/html/A2BCustomer_UI"

; maybe try with :
; Define here the URL to notify the payment
; payment_notify_url=...

;define the different amount of purchase that would be available - 5 amount maximum (5:10:15)
purchase_amount = 1:5:10:20:50

; Item name that would be display to the user when he will buy credit
item_name = "Credit Purchase"

; Currency for the Credit purchase, only one can be define here
currency_code = USD

; Define here the URL of paypal gateway the payment (to test with paypal sandbox)
paypal_payment_url = "https://secure.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"
;paypal_payment_url = "https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"

;paypal transaction verification url
paypal_verify_url = www.paypal.com
;paypal_verify_url = www.sandbox.paypal.com

; Define here the URL of Authorize gateway
;authorize_payment_url = "https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll"
authorize_payment_url = "https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll"

;paypal store name to show in the paypal site when customer will go to pay
store_name = My Test Company

;Transaction Key for security of Epayment Max length of 60 Characters.
transaction_key = HIDDENTRANSACTIONKEY

Your help is appreciated.
