Thanks")* Hi, If you get an error with the text "invoice id already used" it means that you already used your PayPal account with another ecommerce website and it used the same order ids as HikaShop. You can either modify the auto_increment value of the hikashop_order table in your PHPMyAdmin to start order ids to a big number which hasn't been used by your other website, or you can navigate to [ www.paypal.com/businessmanage/preferences/payments](https://www.paypal.com/businessmanage/preferences/payments) and under "Block accidental payments" select "No, allow multiple payments per invoice ID" [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/4...out-form.html#issues](https://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/499-hikashop-payment-paypalcheckout-form.html#issues) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI5LXBheW1lbnQtbWV0aG9kcy85MTAxNDAtcGF5bWVudC1lcnJvci13aXRoLXBheXBhbD90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[mohairbears](/forum/user/916-mohairbears "View mohairbears's Profile")** - [![mohairbears's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/916-mohairbears "View mohairbears's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/916-mohairbears) Less More - Posts: 610 - Thank you received: 13 - 8 months 5 days ago - 8 months 5 days ago [\#370604](#370604) by [mohairbears](/forum/user/916-mohairbears "View mohairbears's Profile") Replied by *[mohairbears](/forum/user/916-mohairbears "View mohairbears's Profile")* on topic *[Payment error with PayPal](/forum/29-payment-methods/910140-payment-error-with-paypal#370604 "-- HikaShop version -- : 6.3 -- Joomla version -- : 5.4 -- PHP version -- : 8.2 Hi, Customer has sent me a screen dump of an error created when trying to pay.
