It directly integrates with PayPal via their API. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/1523-upgrade-issues-ie-ff-passing-variables-to-paypal#post-27884 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 19:43:08 +0000 mack785 27884@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Ok -- did a quick test using real info for all fields and 2 letter state.

You shouldn't have to do anything more than configure it. The PayPal Add-On does pass the 2 letter state abbreviation.</p> <p>If the address is not being passed to PayPal this is because PayPal is rejecting the address. PayPal does address validation on any address passed to it and if it does not match their geolocation data, it won't prepopulate those fields. So what is happening is the address you are using is being rejected by PayPal so it must be entered again. </p> <p>This can happen when using dummy test data because it's probably an address that doesn't exist. If the address does exist, PayPal's API is rejecting it... it just means the address has to be entered again.</p> <p>As for the form editor not working in IE 8, this is going to be a site specific issue. Most likely a theme or plugin conflict. You can test for conflicts by following the steps found here: </p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Testing_for_a_Theme/Plugin_Conflict" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Testing_for_a_Theme/Plugin_Conflict</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/1523-upgrade-issues-ie-ff-passing-variables-to-paypal#post-27857 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 15:47:30 +0000 mack785 27857@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Internet Explorer 8 does not have full editing functions of forms. Fields can be created but not moved. FireFox seems to be able to handle everything ok. </p> <p>The real problem is why all the variables will not get passed through to PayPal. First Name, Last Name, Email and phone get sent fine. As well as the amount and for what. The address is missing: street, city, state, zip. It's like this on a live form and one in production. </p> <p>Have re-entered those values about 5 bazillion times! Have experimented with re-ordering them - no change. Tried adding the :value I saw recommended for a different issue - that didn't help. The one field I know that is not set-up properly for PayPal is the state. They want just the 2 letter abbreviation. Even when I enter just two letters, or have eliminated the field, it doesn't work.</p> <p>Suggestions welcome! </p>
