I second Keith’s question. The ability ‘add’ to the cart multiple courses would be invaluable to the customer’s ease of use. Have you had any luck with this, Dave?

By the way, thanks for the hard work and supplying us with these things. You rock!

Hey Keith,

Currently that isn’t possible with my code, but there is no reason why it couldn’t be possible, the code would just need to be modified to support it.

If you are interested, I could add support for it, just reply to this thread and I’ll contact you via email with the details of what it would take.

Dave,

Have you code to enable purchasing multiple courses at one time via paypal?

Lesley:
I was having the same error. I believe it was because I was using PHP5.

I changed $client = new soapclient to:
$client = new nusoap_client
and things seemed to work. PHP5 already has a class called soapclient which causes some issues.

I’m also using nusoap-0.9.5.

Hi April,

>Does this mean that my customer has to have a PayPal account in order to purchase the training?

Using this example, yeah, the end user would have to have a PayPal account to purchase the training. They could also create a PayPal account during this time too.

I think there are ways using the PayPal API to not require the user to have a PayPal account, but I haven’t really looked into that.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for putting up all these excellent posts. I have a question. After you clicked the “Buy Now” button, you entered an email address and a password. Does this mean that my customer has to have a PayPal account in order to purchase the training? Or are they creating an account with PayPal during this step? Or is this just a way for the customer to “self register” for my Articulate Online account?

Marijan,

That is a bummer, sorry to hear that.

Hi Dave,
I contacted PayPal and they gave me next explanation:

“Paypal isn’t “fully compatible” for Hungary, meaning that you can pay using a Paypal account (on Ebay for example) but you cannot receive money yet and that’s the reason why you don’t have the “Selling preference” column available to you. Sorry about that.”

Hi Marijan,

You don’t see an option like this?

You might want to contact PayPal and see if they know what is up. Not a big PayPal expert so I am not sure why it wouldn’t be enabled on your account.

Hi, Dave
I have problem with trying your example PayPal Integration on http://www.mozealous.com/?page_id=256 in step 3. Configure your paypal business account.

I haven’t “Website Payment Preferences in the Seller Preferences column” in Profile subtab of my Paypal business account.
Are they changed this subtab? What can I do?
