LRG One with PayPal Shopping Cart - Fix options

This is for those of you who may have been getting the strange “xxxBASE64_STARTxxxNHg2IFNlcGlhIC0gozUuNTAxxxBASE64_ENDxxx:” error with PayPal we now have a couple fix options thanks to users Luiscar and Tim, thanks guys!

Luiscar Fix:

Firstly, this will not work when testing with an invalid paypal account so don’t bother. Once you’ve got your own valid uk based account in the settings you will need to make sure you do the following.

1) Go to your selling preferences - Edit profile > Seller preferences > Language Encoding.

2) Select More Options. If not already set you need to select - Windows-1252.

Having nothing in there will cause the base64 error without fail.

Tim’s Fix:

1) Login to your PayPal account
2) Go to profiles>Language Encoding>More options and change the encoding to ISO-8859-1 & the box below to YES.
