Hi,

0. Not that I know of.

1. It's in the documentation:
[ www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...#onAfterOrderConfirm](http://www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentation/62-hikashop-developer-documentation.html#onAfterOrderConfirm)
And no, it's not deprecated.

2. It's done automatically when the order is created. It's done between the onBeforeOrderCreate event and the onAfterOrderCreate event.

3. You can redirect to index.php?option=com_hikashop&amp;ctrl=order&amp;task=cancel_order
That will automatically cancel the order and redirect back the user to the checkout screen.
You can display an error message with :
$app =&amp; JFactory::getApplication();
$app-&gt;enqueueMessage('My error message');

Hey Geg,

I'm also looking for a Plug-in for PayPal Advanced. Nicolas told me to get in touch with you to see if you might share some knowledge with me.

Hello Nicolas,

Is there any way where I can develop PayPal Advanced plugin and sell on HikaShop site as extension? If yes, How do I do that?

Like woocommerce have their own marketplace, do we have any such kind?

Thanks,
Kiran

As soon as someone comes out with this extensions or plugin, i'm buying it! It's very important to have and gets a lot of sales.

I used authorize.net, but the costs are absurd, but then when i went back to paypal buttons, i noticed a considerable dropoff...people just don't like to use paypal unless they have an account already. with paypal advanced, this will be the best of both worlds, accepting payment on the site.

Thanks to you who expressed interest in my PayPal Payments Advanced plugin for HikaShop.

PayPal Payments Advanced seems a really good complement to HikaShop for the USA web merchant who wants great functionality at a great value (ie, low price). As JohnRamos pointed out, PayPal Payments Advanced handles all standard charge cards (not just PayPal "money"), yet the cost is *MUCH* lower than alternatives. Just $5/month presently + transaction fees that are competitive. For those of us with relatively lower volume stores, this is great!!! Further, I'm planning the plugin to integrate with the USPS shipping service provided via PayPal. At our shop, the packages are mostly small and light, and USPS Priority Mail is by far best suited. Never need to worry about shipping to PO Boxes, tracking provided, goes everywhere (in the US), and attractive price vs. alternatives. And, PayPal provides some back-office integrations to accounting software, also at no additional charge. No, I don't work in the PayPal / USPS marketing dept ![;)](/media/kunena/emoticons/24.png ";)")

I got the PayPal Payments Advanced plugin mostly working some time back, then unfortunately I got stalled for a while because PayPal was transferring data center locations, which introduced some weird bugs into my PayPal Sandbox account, so I couldn't test during development, and got swept into other *money* projects. And after that the dog ate my notes -- jk ![;)](/media/kunena/emoticons/24.png ";)") Thanks again, your comments have motivated me to return to this project and get it finished. And thanks especially to Nicolas for creating the great Hikashop!

Cheers,
/george

I have been looking for this functionality with Paypal Advanced since the day it was announced, and hoped someone with Hikashop or Virtuemart smarts would come up with this!! But since it looks like george may have come in first, I may just be switching some clients from VM to Hika!! Yay!

I'd pay money for this when done!!

Hi Geg

You'll be one happy camper when you get this working. You're adding bonuses too, which is great!

Hika is by far exceeding the rest of the carts out there, we've literally ditched VM and will never use that system ever again. I'm always in favor of paid products because it's a better chance it will have a longer life as compared to strictly "Free this or that..."

Great job bud!

Hi George,
Any update on this plugin? I am running latest Hikashop Essential on Joomla 2.5. Will the plugin work on this version of Joomla? The reason I ask is that I was told by hardcomet.com that the joomla 2.5 architecture prevents it from working therefore a PayPal Advanced plugin is not possible for Joomla 2.5. Do you know if this is true?

The version of Joomla shouldn't change anything for HikaShop payment plugins.
All the plugins included HikaShop will be fully compatible with Joomla 1.5, 2.5 and 3.0

I am using the PayPal Std plugin and it works great so I am sure other plugins do as well. But I am talking specifically about PayPal Advanced which is not a Hikashop plugin (yet). From what the guy at hardcomet.com told me the problem arises because of the way a plugin would connect to PayPal Advanced - this is not possible because of Joomla 2.5 architecture - not Hikashop. He did say that PayPal Advanced was possible on Joomla 1.5. Again I am not knocking Hikashop. Just wondering if others have heard this.

I understand what you're saying. But I don't see why it would be a problem to have a PayPal advanced plugin made for Joomla 2.5/HikaShop. AS far as I know it shouldn't be a problem.

That's encouraging to hear. Thanks for your input. I eagerly await @geg's plugin.

Here is another request for the PayPal Advance Plugin... Any info on a time frame yet?

At this point, it's safe to say that this charade is over. There's no damn plugin. If it was ever going to be one, it would have come out already.
