On the "process" API, we need to pass the tracking number back as an argument.

We've got the Order details feeding over to our Endicia postage integration. Now we just need to confirm it back to BO.

What are "affiliate partners", and how would other sites use store's listings? Is this to integrate with Google shopping searches or something?

Tracking number has now been added

I wondered how long it would take for someone to notice that API section. That will be announced in due course.

I don't understand very well what to do. I got the API and password from PayPal and put it in the form here. Now I just received my first order and and the buyer got an error message when trying to pay. What should I do (easy explanation for old woman please)

Lawrence

I have checked the logs and the error usually means the PayPal API details are incorrect. Do you want to have a go at putting them in again? Make sure you copy and paste exactly as it is shown on the PayPal website.

Aladine

ok, I entered the 3 API detail again (copy/paste, so there should be no error). Is there a way to check if it will work now?

Lawrence

Yes, if you pretend to make an order from your store, at step four when you try to go to PayPal, it would error. I'm very happy to say it does not error now. I was very scared for a moment waiting for it to load.

Aladine

fine, it works ! However, in my profile, API keys it says 'you currently have no API keys'. Normal?

Lawrence

The Paypal API payment system is a totally different thing to the Brick Owl API keys
