After uploading a zip-File we get the error message: "Error: Uploaded file size is bigger than 20M!" - is there a possibility to change the allowed upload size?

 Q6: Why do I get "Duplicate Transaction" error in log?

I connect my extension with PayPal sandbox account for testing. But for testing, I get lots of "Duplicate Transaction" in my log page.

Answer: The extension is working with PayPal IPN. For each PayPal transaction, PayPal will send an IPN notification to the IPN URL, which you have set in your PayPal account. With this notification, the extension will be triggered to send email with digital product to your customer's email. In production way, PayPal will send the notification and the extension will save this notification in the database. To make it safe, if the extension gets the same notification, it will not send email and product, but record a "Duplicate Transaction" in log page.

In the PayPal sandbox environment, it allows to send the same notification for testing. In this case, the extension will record "Duplicate Transaction" error message.

Q1: Where to customize the "Payment Successful" Page style and text?

Q4: I cannot download my 400+m file after I made the successful purchase. Why?

After I install, configure and upload my product with the extension, I can successfully make payment but I cannot download my video file which is bigger than 400M.

Answer:: First, you can test a small file such as txt file to check if the extension works properly on your server. If you can purchase and download small file, then it means the extension doesn't have any problem. The next step is checking if your server has some limitation for downloading big file. I have some clients who meet the same problem.

Q5: Let customers pay without a PayPal account. How?

After I install, how can I let my customers pay without a PayPal account?

Answer:: First, PayPal Digital Goods extension supports pay by credit card or debit card directly, without a PayPal account. By default, it will show a login page to your customers. To let your customers complete their payments even they don't have PayPal account, please go to the extension option page and enable "Pay by Credit Card" option. Meanwhile, your PayPal account must be Premier or Business account. You can check with your local PayPal support about how to upgrade your PayPal account. (Actually you just need to link your credit card to your PayPal account to upgrade to Premier account). Then, you can double check if your "PayPal Account Optional" is turned on. Please follow these steps:

1. Log in to your PayPal account on PayPal.com.
2. Click Profile.
3. Under Selling Preferences, click Website Payment Preferences.
4. Select "PayPal Account Optional".
5. Click Save.
