Have you tried adding that? –Andrew Angell Jan 7 '14 at 10:53 Thank you very much Andrew. Seems we did not use the DESC field for the AU merchants. But the PayPal UK requires it. Maybe a API version change. Thank you so much. –Warren Jan 8 '14 at 4:56 add a comment| active oldest votes Know someone who can answer?

quote:Hey,I think that you have to have &DESC in the $nvpstr variable. I have been trying to get recurring payments to work with direct payments for days though and have not been successful. I keep getting start date error and I am submitting the profile start date parameter. Make sure also that what you send in the &DESC parameter is urlencoded.Joseph Back to top Report Back to PayPal with PHP 4 user(s) are reading this topic 0 members, 4 guests, 0 anonymous users Reply to quoted postsClear PayPal Forum | PayPalDev.org → PayPal API, Instant Payment Notification (IPN), and PDT → PayPal with PHP
