PAYPAL API BUG PLEASE HELP !!["partner_order_id"] returns NULL on 1st try

Dear Client, I hope this proposal finds you in good health. I understand that you are experiencing an annoying bug while submitting an order on your website. I have carefully reviewed the issue you described and I am confident that I can help you resolve it. Based on the information provided, it seems that there is an issue with the communication between your website and the Paypal server during the first attempt. This results in the ["partner_order_id"] parameter being returned as NULL, causing the payment not to be captured. However, on the second attempt, the communication is successful and the parameter is returned, resulting in a successful payment and order. To fix this bug, I propose the following steps: 1. Thoroughly analyze the codebase: I will carefully review the codebase of your website, specifically focusing on the sections related to the payment process, sessions, and communication with the Paypal API. 2. Identify the root cause: I will investigate the code to determine any potential session bugs or any other issues that may be causing the ["partner_order_id"] parameter to return as NULL during the first attempt. 3. Implement a solution: Once the root cause is identified, I will propose and implement the necessary changes to ensure that the communication with Paypal is successful on the first attempt. This may involve fixing session-related issues, verifying API configurations, or making any other required ...

Hi there, my name is Raman, and I am here to offer help with your PayPal API bug. I understand that on the first attempt, when you add items to your cart and checkout, you must enter your card details on the payment page before pressing continue. When you do this, Paypal checks the card again to make sure the payment was captured. However, if you press continue before entering your card details, an error message appears telling you that payment wasn't captured. This happens on attempt 1 only; attempts 2 through 20 all work normally. I can see from your notes that the issue might be caused by a parameter called partner_order_id returning NULL on the first attempt. This parameter can only be generated after communication with Paypal has taken place - so something must be causing it to return NULL on the first connection instead of later attempts when communication has taken place between server and client. I specialize in PHP development (specifically WordPress), data scraping, React Native and other similar technologies. My team has extensive experience in Oscommerce/sessions/Paypal Rest API development which would be ideal for this project. We are confident that our skillset is capable of resolving any issues relating to sessions

I understand you're having an annoying bug where you have to submit an ORDER for a SECOND TIME before success. The reason why this is happening is that when you attempt to login, add some items to cart, checkout, enter card details on payment page and press continue - Paypal checks the card and returns back to confirm page. However, on attempt 1 the payment doesn't capture because of a session bug with Paypal returning NULL on the 1st attempt. I would be delighted to help you with this project. With my skills in web design and development as well as sessions/paypal rest API knowledge I am confident that I can deliver a successful outcome for you.
