I was trying to place a couple of big test orders with the cart and I''m getting with both of the orders for over 11 separate items a "Field format error: Request is too large to process" message from PayPal.
Has anyone else had a similar error message to that?
In looking online for other places that may have had the problem I found out that it is not just a VPASP error as the only semi-useful result I got has a link to a Drupal forum for the same problem.
https://www.drupal.org/node/2144311
From what I read on the Drupal forum is basically PayPal''s Payflow system gets overloaded and can''t fit everything into the message sent between the two systems and just throws an error.
As a side note in testing I was able to get 12 items to load OK on a PayPal Express order. |

i researched something on googling http://www.webassist.com/forums/posts.php?id=39658, someone suggested not passing items details. try maybe this trick , but this is just my thought based on that link, which is not passing item details...
read also https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/payflow/integration-guide/
L_NAME, L_COST, L_QTY, ITEMAMT are not mandatory at all.
you open paypalpflinkgateway.asp , is v8 file.
then try to search this -
pflink_dostring "L_NAME"& icnt &"",itemname,"y"
pflink_dostring "L_COST"& icnt &"",itemcost,"y"
pflink_dostring "L_QTY"& icnt &"",itemqty,"y"
make them to read -
''pflink_dostring "L_NAME"& icnt &"",itemname,"y"
''pflink_dostring "L_COST"& icnt &"",itemcost,"y"
''pflink_dostring "L_QTY"& icnt &"",itemqty,"y"
and search this -
pflink_dostring "ITEMAMT",itemamt,"y"
make it to read -
''pflink_dostring "ITEMAMT",itemamt,"y"
tell me how after change ?? i am also curious..

I was doubtful zeroing things like the cost and quantity would work, but everything over here seems to check out OK.
I went through OK with a successful order of 12 items and made it to PayPal Payflow link OK with 21 items without the problem I was having yesterday. |
