onliner Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hello, I'm trying to get this setup to work with PayPal Sandbox account, but it seems not accepting payments from WHMCS IF the email address is not the primary one. Sending payments to PayPal sandbox primary email address works as it should. Can someone please confirm that IT IS possible to send a payment from WHMCS through a PayPal module but to a NON-PRIMARY email address in PayPal? Thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onliner Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Can someone actually confirm that WHMCS PayPal module in live mode WILL work with a NON-Primary PayPal address? ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven99 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 It should as long as you do not have "Client Address Matching" set in the paypal gateway settings in WHMCS. I thought there was a setting at paypal to require matching of email addresses but am not seeing that now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unchecked. But I just can't simulate a successful WHMCS payment to the second email address in business PayPal Sandbox account. Even if the email address is confirmed. Very strange. I know that PayPal CAN accept payment to a secondary email address. Not sure if there's any WHMCS PayPal limitation for that?

steven99 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Do you have any API fields set in the paypal gateway settings? If not, that may help in this case. Are any errors or other info shown in the gateway log? Any errors at all given? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We misunderstood each other apparently as that doesn't have anything to do with the receivers PayPal account secondary email address. Not the buyers, but the facilitator's secondary email address in the PayPal account. Simply, I can't collect PayPal payments if the WHMCS PayPal module 'PayPal Email' field use the SECONDARY email address. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven99 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I realized that on my previous post, thus the change in questions to the API fields . Please see previous reply. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onliner Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 Yes, let us see what WHMCS support will answer. I gave them a lot of data in regard to this issue. Will be back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onliner Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 WHMCS support responded that "all (WHMCS PayPal module) payments will be sent to the primary email address on the PayPal account. This behavior is by design." Case closed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven99 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 If you need it otherwise check out the myworks paypal module as it may do that even if you don't need the billing agreements part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onliner Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Yeah, I'm aware of that module since before. I think I'll switch over in the near future to it actually. Btw, if using the myworks PayPal billing agreements module, does it inherit the WHMCS PayPal module "limitation" of only sending the payment to PayPal accounts primary email? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven99 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I am not sure as am using the primary address. The guys at myworks might know, however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
