Someone help PLEASE!

I tried posting this in the Payment Modules forum , but no one responded. I'm at my wits end here, so I'm posting this here and hoping that someone can help me:

 

 

There are so many threads about PayPal and different contributions, I don't know where to begin. My problem is that checkout takes me to PayPal and everything works out until I click "return to merchant". Then it doesn't show that the "customer" has paid for anything. When I log back in as this fictional customer, it takes me back to checkout again, showing the same item in my basket. The items I'm currently selling are downloads.... which I haven't even got to test because it doesn't show that I paid. I'm frustrated and don't know where to begin in terms of installing a contribution that might alleviate my problem. I just used the PayPal module that comes with oscommerce. Can anyone offer some advice/lead me in the direction of a good contribution.

Thanks.

Download and install the PayPal IPN contribution. It is very well documented both through the contribution and here in the forums. It will resolve the problems you are having with not posting payment back to the site.

Thanks. Just one more question. ipowerweb has an option when I install oscommerce on my site to make it secure. So all my pages are already secured with the ipower shared SSL. Does that change the way I follow the directions for the PayPal IPN installation? Do I need to get the public certificate from ipower?

Thanks again.

I am having problems with this as well, I talked to Ipower and they were no help. i need a public certificate and private key for paypal ipn but ipower said i don't get that with shared ssl.

 

have you found a way around this?
