Title: Paypal Buy Now 1.1 was encoding as UTF8?
Post by: chongbing on August 31, 2015, 11:15:23

Hi datahell,

May i ask the plug-in "Paypal Buy Now version 1.1" is encoding as UTF-8 ? When I clicked a button of "buy", then page redirect to Paypal website but it's show up as below.

Data does not match input character set or default encoding. For more information, please contact the merchant.

My "PayPal button language encoding" has setting UTF-8 in Paypal website. Could you please check that ? Thanks

Please add this line in Paypal Buy now form (around line 150) and tell me if the problem solved:

$html .= '<input type="hidden" name="charset" value="utf-8" /> '."\n";

Thanks datahell,

After added the codes(in buynow.plugin.php) as you said. It works for English webpage if I change other webpage languages that doesn't worked.

For example:
http://easyapps.biz/en/paypal-buy-now-ver101-testing.html
-> It's works great !

http://easyapps.biz/zh/paypal-buy-now-ver101-testing.html
-> Got the same error message.

How to fix it? Thanks

I found this article, read it (https://storeya.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203852788-Paypal-checkout-error-Data-does-not-match-input-character-set-or-default-encoding-), it might help.

Just others languages pages doesn't work, Is the form sending to Paypal as encoding UTF-8 as well?

Thanks,

Hi datahell,

I found this problem was

$html .= '<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="'.$eLang->getinfo('REGION').'" />'."\n";

Change to
$html .= '<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="C2" />'."\n";

After this changed, It's work now. For your reference.  Thanks you.

Based on Paypal's instructions "CN" is for domestic transactions (china internal) and "C2" is for international transactions. I thought both should work, strange why that affects the page's encoding... I updated EDC listing with this fix, thanks for the report!

Countries and Regions Supported by PayPal (https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/country_codes/)
CN (For domestic Chinese bank transactions only)
C2 (For CUP, bank card and cross-border transactions)

BTW what is CUP?

Hi datahell,

CUP (China Union Pay), all of the people reside in China that their credit card mostly supported CUP(http://en.unionpay.com/) already.

In other words, you can buy anything abroad via CUP If your card is CUP.

A suggestion, the logo may change like this one.
