Paypal Confirm Email


Guest

Recommended Posts

I just got my first order payment via paypal and I got an email off them confirming the payment etc.... however I did not recieve an email from my store telling what product they ordered, I do know which it is because of the limited amount of products in my store.

 

But if i had more i would not know which item they bought. All it says is the amount they paid in the email from paypal... All the other methods of payment I get sent an email telling me of the order and what item it was, this does not happen with the paypal module... can anyone help me out?

 

 

thanks!

Hello,

 

we ran exactly into this situation with PayPal: it doesn't register the orders payed through PayPal in osCommerce.

 

we coded a jump-around like this:

the code for PayPal (paypal.php) instead of returning the hidden form vars it writes out in $_SESSION variables the data it needs. Then in checkout_sucess.php it writes the hidden form vars and processes the form to PayPal script, opening it in a new window.

 

So, the user receives the osCommerce's Order Success, the store owner has the order registered in the system... everything works fine.

 

But, we "smell" some security risk in this jump-around. :unsure:

Because of all the private data written in $_SESSION.

 

If there are any security experts out there, can You confirm this, please?

 

cheers, rui
