Urgent problem, need help asap.

[lee246]

Hi, I have just recieved a payment for an item off my shop using paypal.

The problem is that the order has not been logged on my shop.

The customer paid using paypal, but i think has not returned to my shop, therefore the order doesn't show up as an order, only as an uncompleted cart when I use the recover cart tool.

 

Is there any way around this?

 

Thanks, Lee.

Turn on auto-redirect in paypal.

 

Or

 

Use the paypal IPN contribution:

Thanks.

Does this replace the standard paypal ipn that is already installed on a stock installation?

No, unlike other Pay Pal IPN contributions where you overwrite the original Pay Pal module files this contribution is free-standing. The files are all new files and there's just one new folder called 'ext' which you put in the root of your web. It only takes minutes to add the files and then you see it in your admin and click 'Install'.

Hi,

 

Could you be more specific on turning auto-redirect on?

I am just getting to the point of configuring the whole paypal thing and could use a little clarification on how and where in your paypal account would you turn this on?

 

Thanks,

 

Terry

To turn on auto-redirect go to paypal -> profile -> website payment preferences

 

You will see "auto-return" turn on

 

you will need to put a URL in the box below ... (this URL doesnt actually matter because oscommerce passes the return URL to paypal each time)

 

But just put "http://www.yoursite.com/checkout_success.php"

 

And click "save"

 

This will make it so that after the customer pays they will automatically be sent back to your site (they dont have to click continue) this means most all of your orders will get logged.

 

The IPN contribution is probably a better solution to this ^^ but i use the order auto-return and well....if it aint broke dont fix it, so i've never bothered trying the IPN.
