Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.")* Hi, We do that because PayPal doesn't support taxes on the shipping fees and HikaShop does. So we have to put the shipping fees as a product line, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to add the tax on the shipping and the total would be wrong and it wouldn't work. What you can do is change the code: Code: $vars['item_name_' . $i] = JText::_('HIKASHOP_SHIPPING'); $vars['amount_' . $i] = round($order->order_shipping_price - @$order->order_shipping_tax, (int)$this->currency->currency_locale['int_frac_digits']); $tax += round($order->order_shipping_tax, (int)$this->currency->currency_locale['int_frac_digits']); $vars['quantity_' . $i] = 1; $i++; to: Code: $vars['shipping'] = round($order->order_shipping_price, (int)$this->currency->currency_locale['int_frac_digits']); in the file plugins/hikashoppayment/paypal/paypal.php However, that means that if you have taxes on shipping, it will probably not work properly.

Even on the Paypal log in screen, there is no shipping and handling total.

I did it per PayPal's documentation on the available variables for the redirection form: [ developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal...ndard\_htmlvariables/](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/Appx_websitestandard_htmlvariables/) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI5LXBheW1lbnQtbWV0aG9kcy84NzQxNzItcGF5cGFsLXhmZXItb2Ytc2hpcHBpbmctYW5kLWhhbmRsaW5nP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[wayneft](/forum/user/33908-wayneft "View wayneft's Profile")** - [![wayneft's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/33908-wayneft "View wayneft's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/33908-wayneft) Less More - Posts: 25 - Thank you received: 1 - - 11 years 8 months ago [\#189954](#189954) by [wayneft](/forum/user/33908-wayneft "View wayneft's Profile") Replied by *[wayneft](/forum/user/33908-wayneft "View wayneft's Profile")* on topic *[Paypal xfer of Shipping and Handling](/forum/29-payment-methods/874172-paypal-xfer-of-shipping-and-handling#189954 "-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.4 -- Joomla version -- : 3.3.6 -- PHP version -- : 5.5.15 -- Browser(s) name and version -- : Chrome Do any of the Paypal plugins correctly transfer the Shipping and Handling field to Paypal?

You ave to use the code: Code: $vars['handling_cart'] = round($order->order_shipping_price, (int)$this->currency->currency_locale['int_frac_digits']); because "shipping' only applies to a single item whereas 'handling_cart' applies to the whole cart. You should really consider adding this to the Paypal plugin. You mentioned earlier that the reason you don't do it is because Paypal does support tax on shipping fees, however that is not the case. When you set up your tax profile in Paypal there is a field that asks you if you want to tax shipping and handling so it should work fine. Thanks for the help.

If you do that, the total of the order will be different between HikaShop and PayPal and HikaShop will refuse the payment notification from PayPal. That's a necessary check done on the payment notification in order to avoid payment fraud and also to keep consistency between what you have on file on your website for the invoice and what the user paid on the payment gateway. Believe me, we had a good reason to do it that way.
