Using paypal auto return feature

[cmbyrne]

I want to turn on the auto-return feature with paypal, but paypal requires you to make a new page to tell the customer that the payment has been made, and transaction is complete, that they will receive an email shortly, blah.....blah...

 

anyway, is there a page already like this that i can link it to? What page do they see on osc when they complete paypal payments? Can i just link it to that one?

Would I just link it to the /checkout_success.php and change it to add the paypal info, like that they will receive an email from paypal with the transaction details shortly, etc...

 

I hope it is just that easy..

I am finding out the same information, i am going to be phoning paypal tonight to get this info becuase they were unable to answer my email request... I will let you know what they say... my understanding is that it must be a page that has the information they are requsting written on it, they do not say whethere it must be a 'totally new page' - so you should be able to use the checkout_sucess.php if you include the wordage they are looking for.

 

But i will come back tonight and share the info i get! :)

I just tested it, and it worked. just make the link www.yourdomain.com/catalog/checkout_success.php

 

but make sure you add the following information to that page (per paypal rules):

1. the payment has been completed and the buyer will receive an email shortly with the payment details.

2. the buyer can log into his/her account at www.paypal.com to view the transaction details.

 

good luck!

oh - and for those of you who don't know, this is a solution to the paypal problem of receiving a paypal payment with no orders, at the end of payment it forwards them to your account success page so you don't have to worry about the buyer clicking the button themselves to go to that page.

Hey Christina, do you only accept paypal payments? I don't want those statements to show up everytime someone orders. Just on a paypal payment, so my question is can you create like a /catalog/checkout_xuccess1.php (just copied) and then add that to it and link it in the auto return section for paypal?

 

Does that make sense?

Yes, that makes sense.

I put something like:

 

Your order has been processed!

 

If you made your payment with paypal (then put the info here....)

hmmm.. i don't know if you could just create that page, but i don't see why not though. I just used the same one and changed the text to what i wrote above.

Sorry I am new to coding,

 

Could you post the code and where you inserted it in the success.php please.

 

Thanks

it's not really coding, just write what you want to say.

 

in catalog/includes/languages/english/checkout_success.php

 

define('TEXT_SUCCESS', 'ENTER YOUR TEXT HERE');

I have the same processing problem only with internetsecure. Many customers do not click on the complete transaction button on the internet secure site and as a result I don't have the products in their shopping cart transfered to the orders table. It seems like an unnecessary step forcing the customers to do this. In any case I find most people don't get it and quite rightly so. I don't understand why it works that way either.

 

This leads me to ask how the module works. Does the internetsecure module use an export script?

How can I force a return to my site to complete the transaction after payment in processed. When things go wrong how can I dig out the order from the customers shopping cart.

 

Cheers

Hi Mark,

 

What i did for a while, (until i had sorted out the paypal thing) was i would log in as the customer and go and complete their order, the only thing is i had to choose Money Order/check as their payment method because they had already paid with paypal. It was a pain in the neck.

 

I am sorry i can't help with the internetsecure - i haven't used it.
