I don't disagree with your comments.  But there are always two sides (or more) to these issues.  What I have found in my over 10 years selling things online that there are issues with every solution.  And a lot of "issues" with PayPal come about by how the merchant runs their business in regards to refunds, shipping, etc.  PayPal does favor the customer in a complaint status - they have improved in the last couple of years.   With that said,  all processors favor the customer complaints, it is always the merchant's burden to prove they did provide the customer with the item or service as defined by the sale.

In this particular business model,  the start up for my distributors needs to be as low-cost as possible until on-line volume of sales increase enough pay the extra costs for other payment methods.  I have a unique model,  in that the online functions as a way to expand customer reach,  but it primarily is set to function as an online catalog when the distributors call on their customers. 

Additionally,  PayPal does have that Bill Me Later function,  which has positive impact on my distributors when their business customers are buying big for Holiday gift giving - it smooths their customers cash flow and increases the distributors income without having to run a credit department or credit check.  So there are some very positives to using PayPal for some businesses.

Just my take on the post

I am having an issue with the PayPal Express extension - seems to be only with the bill me later button.  If I don't use the bml - I don't have the warning.

I  updated to version 1.1.8  yesterday.  Have reloaded the PayPal Extension today as seen in my extension screen:

Warnings: 2014-01-28 14:17:52 - App Warning:  AbanteCart core v.1.1.8 ADispatch: blocks/paypal_express_checkout_bml_button construct FAILED. Missing or incorrect controller route path. Possibly layout block is enabled for disabled or missing extension!  in ......../public_html/shop/core/engine/dispatcher.php on line 76 2014-01-28 14:17:52 - App Warning:  AbanteCart core v.1.1.8 ADispatch: skipping unavailable controller … in .........../public_html/shop/core/engine/dispatcher.php on line 237 Please instruct on how to fix this.

Is it required that everyone needs to update the backup.php  file PRIOR to updating? 

If so, can you change the info within the message block to indicate that somehow?

Thanks

Gordon,  you must have missed this when you initially installed - the very last thing on an installation is this Message with a Key in it.  At least there was on mine.

You can find the key in /system/config.php then look for the line  define('SALT', 'xxxx');
that should do it for you.

Yes,  I understood the Doba model, I just needed clarity for which was your model or more precisely if that was the only model you were interested in.  It's a good model, low risk as long as fulfillment is well handled.

I only have a recommendation for the first option.  Sorry.

I wasn't saying that it didn't work on the Android -  I was trying to say that I found it distracting - it kept pulling my eye to it and away from the rest of the page - it was more of an opinion.  Sorry for not being clear enough.

I was also had concerns that it increased the data usage on mobile devices - seems like a waste to a user if it does.  Again,  just an opinion.

Cheers

Hey Gordon - just going to "fun" you a bit - That must be a New York Minute - they are suppose to be faster.  My elementary math says 360 minutes is really 6 hours.

But to the point Cookie,  I think Gordon is right - there may be a limit or a field size that is causing your issue.  I have mine set for 120, (2 hours) and it works just fine.

Cheers everyone!
