I have configured the plugin with the API signature, but while testing ( Production mode ) I received the following error
Error – Double check your Business API settings.
SetExpressCheckout API call failed.
Detailed Error Message: You are not signed up to accept payment for digitally delivered goods.
Short Error Message: Transaction refused because of an invalid argument. See additional error messages for details.
Error Code: 10004
Error Severity Code: Error
I wrote to Paypal Merchants account and they replied the following
[[ Thank you for contacting PayPal Merchant Technical Support.
Please note that we no longer able to activate Digital Goods feature in your account. The reason why you are getting that error is because that feature is not enabled in your account.
However, without Digital Goods enabled in your account, you can still actually selling Digital Good on your website using normal integration, not Digital Goods integration as what you currently use. With normal integration ( such as express checkout ), you will need to make sure that you do not request for shipping address ( NOSHIPPING=1, https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/merchant/SetExpressCheckout_API_Operation_NVP/ ).
By doing this, PayPal will not capture any shipping information and remove it totally from the integration. ]]
So this plugin will no longer work for the new Paypal accounts.
]]>Hi Scott,
your plugin looks perfect to me but I receive this error:

I gave Paypal a call and they told me the reason is that I′m based in Switzerland. They are not able to enable the plugin on my accout. Is there a chance that you can make a change or give paypal a hint what to do?
Best regards,
Ivana
The payment gets processed but a download link does not get sent to the visitor after the transaction goes through. I’ve been here: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/digital-products and it just takes me to a sign up page when I already have a business account. Can you help me? I appreciate it!
]]>As per the title, this plugin seems to be outdated for new users unfortunately, and I was wondering if there was any plans to update it?
I have installed the plugin, I already have an established PayPal account and an API but I receive the error message
Error – Double check your Business API settings.
SetExpressCheckout API call failed.

I see in the plugin that it says to set up express checkout for digital goods however the link is outdated and leads to a “this page does not exist” message.
I have researched on the paypal developer forums and the only link I could find to enable digital payments on paypal express was to a guide on the PayPal developer website saying that the guide is now deprecated unfortunately and to use the new paypal express settings instead. Which do not even mention needing to set up for digital payment separately, so seemingly this plugin is now outdated.
A shame as it was exactly what I was looking for!
]]>The link to enable PayPal for Digital Goods is not working. If I’m logged in, it gives me a 404 error and if not, it asks me to sign up for a business account. How can I go through this first step?
Thanks.
]]>The paypal button forwards customers to paypal interface where they can see the item’s price. Is there a way to show the item’s price besides the paypal button so that the customers to know the price before they continue?
]]>Our word documents are bundled in a .zip file. Will your plugin support or deliver a compressed file format like a .zip file almost 3 MB?
]]>I am having difficulty installing the button.
As per instructions, I set up keys etc with Pay Pal, then I copied and pasted the code, edited/customized it, and then pasted it into the Text Editor of a new page:
Purchase here [paypal_for_digital_goods name=”Money-Saving Homes Book” price=”25″ url =”7.99″ url=”https://www.floridagreenhomebrokers.com/wp-content/uploads/Money-Saving-Homes-v3.pdf” button_text=”Buy Now”]
The Pay Pal Payment Button does not appear when I preview the page.
Instead, I only see the above code.
Obviously I am doing something wrong. Can anyone please help?
Thank you.

Hiya, I’ve managed to get everything working but after payment it takes me to the download page but when I use Safari I get a message saying Launch Adobe Acrobat.
Is it just me cos it works on Chrome??!!??
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Zoe.
Can I also create free downloads with this plugin?
]]>Sorry to bother you again. Since installing the plugin I am no longer getting email notifications when a payment is made. I talked to paypal and they said to get in touch with you to see if there are any issues related to this. thanks!
]]>Hi Scott, love the plugin, but I still am working towards getting up and running. I contacted PayPal and went over the API steps and they said I had done everything right on their end, but this is the message I am getting when I click on the link.

]]>Hey Scott, love your plugin! One question : At the end of the transaction there’s a simple confirmation / CTA that the buyer clicks which initiates the file download however, the window closes after the download and they are left on the original “Buy Now” page. One issue is that if the user has their browser set to automatically download files, then there is no real strong way to inform them of a successful download. If they have the browser set to prompt them for file save location, the result is still the same except that they have this intermediate step to further ensure them that the process is successful. Is there a way to redirect the user to some custom page after the transaction? Thank you! -Shaun K

Is it possible to customise the look of a button?

]]>Hi, I installed the plugin, activated my Paypal account for digital goods, buy when press “buy now” button (no sandbox) I got this message:
“Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [no address given] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.”
Please help me understand if it is fixable, I really hope because this plugin is exactly what I needed.
]]>The following error message appear , after I click buy now button…Please advise

]]>It takes me to a blank page after the transaction is complete. Where do I set the link to the correct download page?
]]>Hi, I have the licensed pro version. IPN used to work nicely, then I moved the web server, and now it no longer works. The IPN callback URL is hosted on a different server altogether than the web server which moved, so that shouldn’t have anything to do with it.
According to Paypal support who investigated the issue, the WP Plugin provides the IPN URL when my clients click the button and are directed to Paypal for payment. The correct IPN URL is set in the Paypal merchant settings, but that does not get honoured because the button provides it. Paypal states that the following URL is provided by WP Plugin as the IPN address: https://www.XXX.XX/wp-admin/admin-post.php?action=add_wpplugin_paypal_button_ipn This URL is of course not valid, and I have never seen that before.
I can’t find where in the WP Plugin settings the IPN URL is set. Where can I set this?
]]>I don’t which is harder, navigating that atrocity of a pay pal website trying to get pay pal express to work with digital downloads or to find out how to get paypal set up for that. Short of using the button generator
totally unbeliveable.
I input to the plugin is easy enough but deciphering the obtuse error messages is not. Especially when my apis are correct.
]]>The first button I put up works PERFECTLY! Like a charm. I added more buttons and it screws them all up. The pop-up window becomes full screen and then when trying to cash out, it just freezes and goes in circles. I saw someone had a work around with iFrame coding, but I tried that and it makes things look hideous on my page. This has to be something in the coding on this plugin, not from Paypal. Are you working on this issue Scott Paterson??

]]>I have installed this plug-in but cannot find the Digital Download option in my PayPal account.
If I am not logged into PayPal and click on the link in the PlugIn Settings it just takes me to a main page to sign up for a business account. https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/digital-products
If I then log in I am not taken to any options page.
If I am logged into PayPal and then click the link it says Page Not Found. The link is slightly different to the one above (no US)
https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/digital-goods
I searched PayPal Help (which is a nightmare) and saw the Digital Downloads option under Seller Preferences. I couldn’t see that option in my profile so I upgraded from Premier to Business but I still cannot see that option.
This is what my Seller Preferences choices are:
Selling online
Getting paid and managing my risk
I tried a test with a button created via the PlugIn nevertheless but the pop-up gave an error saying I am not set up for digital downloads.
Thank you so much for any assistance with this.
Regards, Mandy

]]>I’m pretty sure only Scott can answer this question, so hopefully he’ll read this and respond.
Just got an email from PayPal today saying that they were going to change some of the security protocols on their end. Presumably anyone on this forum has also received it. Here’s the changes noted by PayPal with links to more technical details:
IP Address Update for PayPal Secure FTP Servers
SSL Certificate Upgrade to SHA-256
TLS 1.2 AND HTTP/1.1 Upgrade
IPN Verification Postback to HTTPS
Discontinue Use of GET Method of Classic NVP/SOAP
Merchant API Certificate Credential Upgrade
My question: Is any of this going to “break” EPDD? Or will there be a forthcoming update to address these changes? I ask because PayPal warned that the integration of some online stores (and plugins) might be impacted by these changes. Thanks for any info you can provide Scott.

Can you help?

]]>I did not set up a sandbox with PayPal, so I just asked a friend to test the buy button on a page I’m building for my online store. They said it worked as expected, allowed them to make the payment, and provided them with a download link for my digital media. Excellent!
But they said they never saw any option to pay by credit card. So they paid via their PayPal account. What is required to enable credit card payments? Is that a function of this plugin? Or is it a function of PayPal? Thanks for the help.
