♥Vger Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 If you are using the standard Pay Pal module that comes with osCommerce then you need to go to your Pay Pal account at the Pay Pal website and go into your settings and turn on the Auto-Return feature. Without doing this if the customer pays but doesn't hit the 'Continue' button on the Pay Pal site which returns them to your site then you don't get the order, and neither the customer nor yourself gets an e-mail with a copy of it. Make sure that in order to get your copy that you have entered an e-mail address for 'Send Extra Order E-mails To' in your osCommerce admin panel under My Store. The other alternative is to install the official osCommerce Pay Pal IPN module, which is on page 14 of Payment Modules in Contributions. This doesn't need the auto-return feature to be turned on in your Pay Pal account. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have turned on the Auto Return in PayPal and configured the email for returns in My Store. I have made the return URL /checkout_success.php - not sure if that's right. Also went to look at the Paypal IPN module - it was my understanding that it did not support Australian Dollars - has this been updated? BUT couldn't work out which was the "offical" one you mentioned - about half a dozen listed. What advantage would using the Official PayPal IPN have over the Australian Paypal Contribution I'm using now? Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanks Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Read from somewhere that the return URL should be checkout_process.php. Hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadgets4u Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 Yes that's right - didn't work though! Gave up and finally got PayPal IPN to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
