Session is lost after callback from credit card processor

[smeagul]

If a customer want to pay with credit card, he is directed to an external url where he put in his credit card number and after verifying the data, customer is redirected to the shop.

 

My problem is, that the user is forced to login again. It seems that the session is gone.

 

How can I save the session ?

There is the possility to send some data to the cc-processor and he sent this data back with is acknowledgement

of paying.

I thought, I put the session id into this data-packet and when I get the answer I took this Id back and I have my session. But I don't know where I have to put this session id.

Have I to put it in $HTTP_POST_VARS or in $HTTP_GET_VARS or .... ?

 

I really don't know, help iss welcome.

 

Regards

Try including the session ID in the return URL that's sent to the processor. (Most likely have to go into the code to do that)

Hi Newbie here but I have found that if sessions in Admin 'check IP address' is set to true rather than false, your above problem happens to me.

when you do the link to and from your page, use the functionb tep_href_link which is stored in includes/functions/html_output.php

 

by default, it will then have the id passed back and forward.
