Can PayPal NVP refunds show refunded line items in refund emails? - php

I'm performing refunds using PayPal NVP's RefundTransaction call, and I'd like the refund confirmation emails that PayPal sends out to show the refunded line items.
Currently, the refund confirmation emails only show the original order line items, as in the following shortened email:
test facilitator's Test Store has just sent you a refund
5 Apr 2016 20:49:50 PDT | Transaction ID:
Dear test buyer,
test facilitator's Test Store has just sent you a partial refund of $0.50 AUD for your purchase.
...
Original transaction details
Payment details
Description: Item #1 description,
Unit price: $0.50 AUD
Quantity: 2
Amount:
Description: Item #2 description,
Unit price: $2.50 AUD
Quantity: 3
Amount:
Shipping and handling: $9.90 AUD
Insurance: N/A
Total: $18.40 AUD
Refund PayPal balance: $0.50 AUD
Sincerely,
PayPal
However, the docs for RefundTransaction seem to indicate that I can pass additional parameters like L_INVOICEITEMNAMEn and L_PRICEn, but they appear not to have any effect.
Can PayPal NVP refunds show refunded line items in refund emails, and if so, how can it be done?

Paypal Recurring Payments without One-Time Purchase

I am attempting to set up a Paypal Recurring Profile, but I keep getting the error code 10525: "This transaction cannot be processed. The amount to be charged is zero." I only want to start the recurring billing, rather than charge them a one time payment amount and then the recurring billing on top of that. ($13 every month or $135 annually are the choices).
From the paypal knowledge (https://www.paypal-knowledge.com/infocenter/index?page=content&id=FAQ1441&actp=LIST) I found:
"Use BillingType=RecurringPayments/MerchantInitiatedBilling instead for creating a Recurring Profile/Billing Agreement ID with no dollar amount."
However, I have already done so.
Also, in the paypal api(https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/merchant/SetExpressCheckout_API_Operation_NVP/) I found:
"Set this field to 0 if the transaction does not include a one-time purchase such as when you set up a billing agreement for a recurring payment that is not immediately charged. When the field is set to 0, purchase-specific fields are ignored."
But it is set to "0", so I'm not sure what to do there.
Here is my debug list:

If I do, however, set the PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT to "13.00", for instance, the call goes in correctly. However the customer would double pay for their first month (total of $26). I could set a trial period for "0", but that would only fix the monthly subscription, not the annual subscription.
I am using Paypal Express (Sandbox) with Opencart 2.3.0.2
This problem is known via Opencart, but no one has fixed it. So I was attempting to fix it myself. I have not used Paypal API before so I'm not sure where to look.

"Set this field to 0 if the transaction does not include a one-time purchase...." in the link
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/merchant/SetExpressCheckout_API_Operation_NVP/ means that "n" in the parameter "PAYMENTREQUEST_n_AMT" is set to "0" instead of you set total amount into "0".
So, "MAXAMT" and "L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT0" cannot be "0 but should be more than 0 to match your total amount.
You are request to firstly call SetExpressCheckout API (BillingType=RecurringPayments), and got response with EC token and use it in CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile API

Stripe Partial refund and full refund issue

Here is what i am trying to do. Total is $120
1 : First i did a Partial Refund with this charge ID ch_1AfNOwAWa9KSz110***** .
\Stripe\Refund::create(array(
"charge" => 'ch_1AfNOwAWa9KSz*******',
"amount" => 60 * 100,
));
2 : After that i want to refund full the amount that left in this chargeID ch_1AfNOwAWa9KSz110*********
\Stripe\Refund::create(array(
"charge" => 'ch_1AfNOwAWa9KSz1********'
));
I am getting error Charge ch_1AfNOwAWa9KSz110********* has already been refunded.
What should i do first i did partial and after full refund in stripe.?

According to the docs:
You can optionally refund only part of a charge. You can do so
multiple times, until the entire charge has been refunded.
So it seems you can create a refund without an amount (a full refund) only if you have not refunded already (partially), otherwise you need to specify the amount explicitly.
It would be great, though, if Stripe accepted refunding without an amount specified even after a partial refund, meaning to refund the remaining amount.

Based on the docs, I think you want to use the update refund endpoint instead of the create refund endpoint for the second call.

PayPal Vault transaction fee/charges

I am using PayPal Vault service for transferring amount from stored Credit Card to a PayPal pro account.
Here is the document link that I followed: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/direct/rest-vault-overview.
After successful integration, I have checked it is charging $5.9% transaction fee, while I have heard that PayPal charges are just 2.9% in case of a pro account.
Please confirm Fee Charges for PayPal Vault service for this transfer of money from Credit card to PayPal account.
Any answers and suggestions would be
highly appreciated.

I got the answer from PayPal service support.
your monthly donations received determine the assessed fee amount:
If your monthly donations are $0 to $3,000, the rate is 2.9% + $0.30.
If your monthly donations are $3,000+ to $10,000, the rate is 2.5% + $0.30.
If your monthly donations are $10,000+ to $100,000, the rate is 2.2% + $0.30.
If your monthly donations are $100,000+, call us at 1-888-818-3928 for pricing.
And PayPal are not taking 5.6% charge it's taking if you are placed an order or 0 to 3000 USD than it's taking 2.9% of total amount and .30 per transaction fee.

paypal express checkout set paypal fee additional

I have integrate paypal express checkout in our website. as i know and get information from paypal documentation.
Need to set Amount parameter in request input and paypal deduct fee based on amount, but i want paypal add fee additional on amount.
Example :
Product amount : $100.00;
Paypal deduct fee 2.9% on $100.00 but i want add aditional 2.9% on main amount, like :
Amount = 100.00
Fee = 2.9%
Than Total amount is = $100.00 + 2.9% = $102.90
means i want paypal automatically set his fee on checkout page and charge to user.
Can anyone help me.
Thanks in Advance.

If you want to add that fee on to your order you'll need to do so prior to sending the user to PayPal, or you could also do it on your review page after the user is returned from PayPal.
Most people just add this to their cart as a "handling fee" or whatever you want to call it. If you want to be more accurate you should use the 2.9% + .30 formula.

Paypal NVP API Recurring Profile Upgrade Profile Charge surplus amount at a time and Next Billing Cycle

I tried using simple CreateRecurringProfile and UpdateRecurringPaymentsProfile of Paypal NVP apis.
I have confusion If i can achieve my goal or not Please suggest me the solutions
Case 1:
Silver Package = $20
Gold Package = $100
My Custome created Recurring Payment with Billing Cycle of $20 Per month for 6 months on Jan 1st For silver Subscription Plan.
Later on Customer come back on Feb 2nd and updates his subscription package from silver to gold subscription at that time i want to update to subscription plan as All next billing cycle will charge to $100 from $20 but when he upgrades he/she must be charges $80 (i.e sur plus amount) because remaining $20 is paid on Feb 1st's Bill.
Thanks in Advance
Please suggest me some solutions.

In such a case, You can cancel Recurring payment Profile, And create new Profile for $100 as Recurring amount And $80 as Initial Amount ( INITAMT as given in documentation of CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile)
