Show amount during checkout

[manuelmeurer]

I implemented paypal-recurring according to the recent Railscast about it. Everything works except that the amount the user is setting up the recurring profile for is not shown.
I checked that the amount parameter is sent to Paypal when initiating the checkout action. Am I missing something?

yesi have the same issue , but it seems that it is something about paypal side, i think is a bad behavior because the paypal page hides this.
currently im using the description to show the pricing info an that stuff,
with that said, i think checkout paypal page have serious security issue there

Yes, I also looked for it in the last month when I set up recurring billing for other services and the amount was nowhere shown. It kind makes sense, because what you actually do is give the website "billing permission" which is not tied to a specific amount.
Your suggestion is great, though, I will also show the amount in the description from now on.
Of course, if anybody else reads this and has a better idea about how to solve this, I'm all ears. :)
