Bot Discord Donations Gift Secure PayPal v1.2.0 — Stability & Bug Fix Update

What's fixed in v1.2.0:

- Fixed a critical crash on startup caused by a syntax error in the PayPal order creation (line 322 — missing comma between return_url and cancel_url)

- Fixed payment redirect routes — /donate/success and /donate/cancel were being incorrectly treated as donation tokens by Express, causing redirect failures after payment

- Fixed a crash when ADMIN_ROLES environment variable is left empty in .env

- Fixed guild.iconURL() crash when the bot couldn't find the Discord server on startup

- Fixed setImage() error when BACKGROUND_URL is not set

- Security fix — PayPal Client ID is no longer hardcoded in donate.html. It is now loaded securely from your .env via a server-side endpoint

- Fixed PayPal button rendering — buttons now wait for the SDK to fully load before initializing, preventing a race condition that caused the payment buttons to not appear

We recommend all users update to this version immediately.

Payment System Update - Key Changes:

1. PayPal Integration Fix
   • Removed orderId from the return_url parameter
   • Now using only the token parameter: .../success?token=${token}
   • Resolved the "INVALID_PARAMETER_SYNTAX" PayPal API error
2. Improved Request Structure
   • Kept orderId as reference_id for internal tracking
   • Maintained all security validations (token, amount checks)
   • Streamlined the PayPal order creation request
3. System Stability
   • All existing functionality remains intact
   • Successful donations still update Discord and databases
   • Error handling remains robust

Why This Works Better:

• PayPal now receives clean, valid URLs without placeholder variables
• The token alone is sufficient to process successful payments
• Simpler implementation while maintaining all tracking capabilities
