Frankk Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I've been using paypal invoices for as long as I've been using WHMCS a few days ago I made a clean install of V5.0 of WHMCS and now everytime I try to invoice using paypal invoices I'm struck with "Gateway module is missing" error. Back in the days this was a standard module in WHMCS and thus was installed by default. I know I could just retrieve from the backup the missing paypalinvoices.php but I tried to the pristine file on this site and couldn't manage to find it, has support for this been discontinued??? Or is there a new way of doing things I'm not aware of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 That file I believe was back in V3.3 Not sure if it will work but here it is... you will need to rename it by removing the .txt from the end paypalinvoices.php.txt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankk Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Thanks Sparky, already had a backup of it, and it works in V5.0 just fine. I was just wondering why it's not there anymore? Has something replaced it? What about legacy clients then? If you do a clean install (providing you keep the DB intact) it's not anywhere to be found in here. (except through oldtimers like us I guess) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I think that question can only be answered by Matt as I honestly cant remember now as it was back in 2007 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS CEO Matt Posted January 25, 2012 WHMCS CEO Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yep the PayPal module has replaced the 2 separate modules that used to exist, one being invoices and the other subscriptions. Was a long time ago now but the recommended solution rather than loading the old module is to reassign older clients to the newer combined PayPal module. To do that simply go to Setup > Payment Gateways, deactivate the PayPal Invoices module, and when prompted choose the other PayPal module for what you want to re-assign the existing clients to.

Frankk Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 At first I re-instated the old module, and it seemed to work, but I later found out that there was a bug. Customers would pay but their invoices would still be marked as unpaid. I just did what Matt suggested and if it doesn't work I will post back to keep the comunity informed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
