Ecommerce -> Paypal Item/Product Name

I'm having this same problem - has anyone found a fix for it yet?

No one's going to pay for an order if they can't see what they've ordered...

Still relevant for version 3.0.

I'm contemplating making this change. I've done some preliminary testing that:

1. for a single item check-out, it shows the product node title as the "product name".
2. for multiple items, it sets the "product name" to a generic: "Cart with X items."

The "product number" is left unchanged to "txnid_Z".

It'll be a few days before I can take the time to post a proper patch, but I wanted to know if this would be of interest to anyone.

Just today finding the same problem. Yes please, nelson_rp, a patch like you suggest would be welcome.

This patch does what I described above. It is against the 5.x-3.0 tarball version (not CVS). I've decided against using ecommerce for my current project, so I won't be following up on this further. Good luck.

sounds good man

how do you apply this patch?

added your patch. figured out it was just find replace.

now on checkout i get this in the payment for box:

Product Name
Item #txnid_2

Seems to have worked. Though it's not really ideal that people still can't see what they've ordered when it's more than one item, at least it doesn't look completely broken any more, and maybe if I'm lucky the client I'm setting this up for will be OK with it like this...

Though I'm not sure how they're supposed to know when processing an order what people have ordered if it just says "cart with n items". Hopefully they get some kind of more specific notification than that when an order is placed?

any news on this, this is still an issue in 3.3 ?

Fixed in v4
