Hello all,

 

In my site I am using osc and paypal module for payment. but the payment process is not functioning properly.

i am using a paypal premier account. in the paypal IPN section I have given the return page URL. Now for configuring the paypal module in osc I am not able to understand what should be the value of different field like paypal shoping cart ipn etc.

 

can any one help me out in this regard?

Which Pay Pal IPN module are you using? The official osCommerce Pay Pal IPN module (the only one which begins with 'osCommerce' in its name), requires only that you click 'Install, and then enter your e-mail address. And provided that your server has cURL compiled in PHP (basic encryption) you don't need to use the SSL settings for the osCommerce Pay Pal IPN.

Hi I have just installed the OScommerce IPN module but when I go to the admin section I am confronted by the following,

 

Warning: main(/home/sites/madinahmedia.com/public_html/shop/includes/languages/english/modules/payment/paypal_ipn.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sites/madinahmedia.com/public_html/shop/admin/modules.php on line 128

It seems to make no difference if I delete the stock paypal module or not. What am I doing wrong here?

Should i be installing this somewhere else?

 

Any help appreciated

 

Thanks, Ronan

Thanks again

sorry to keep adding comments but i notice the instructions say

 

Then , unzip the attached file, and overwrite your existing paypal_ipn.php file in the /catalog/includes/modules/payment directory.

 

 

I do not have an existing paypal_ipn.php file in that directory I only have the standard paypal module. could this be the problem? Its a recent install and hasn't been messed with at all.

 

Regards

In my server the module is installed properly. While processing I am not also getting any error. I am not sure why this problem is occuring. I guess some setting is going wrong. After I confirm the order then it is not redirecting to the paypal site for payment processing. It is directly going to the checkout_success.php page. BTW I have changed the key digest value as given by the paypal when I made the Auto return -- on in my paypal ac. profile. Still it is not working. I am not also getting any good documentation which may help me in this regard. It will be very helpfull if Vger can help us in this regard.

The osCommerce Pay Pal IPN is far from perfect, but it does have one MAJOR advantage over all other contributions of Pay Pal IPN - you don't have to edit any other files at all, it's completely free standing, an all-new file set.

 

For these reasons I no longer use any of the other Pay Pal IPN modules, so can't advise on problems with them.

I just can't seem to get OSC to generate invoices correctly and log the transaction. I received my PayPal payments okay, but OSC is not generating invoices for me or the customer and the purchase does not get recorded with the OSC customer record. This is a huge problem and the only way I can find out what was purchased is to contact the customer to ask them...embarrasing.

 

I've tried hiring an experience OSC/php coder, but the results are the same. Can anyone assist me with this? Thanks.

With some caution I think I can say I have got my problem sorted but I'd struggle to convey the exact method I used. I have the OSC ipn module installed, payments work, order shows in OSC, generates a receipt and even subtracts the correct stock levels. All of the above however is based on tests without introducing shipping into the equation, I still need to weigh the books.

 

If you need to ask any specific questions about my set up go ahead and Ill try to answer. I'm no expert but just fortunate enough to have things working properly.

If you are using the default Pay Pal Module that comes with

osCommerce and are wondering why the orders don't get added

to the database, the stock updated, and that no order

confirmation e-mails get sent out - this is the reason.

 

You are reliant upon the customer hitting the 'Continue'

button on the Pay Pal website at the end of their purchase,

which then returns them to your website, updates the database,

updates the stock quantity, empties their shopping cart,

and sends the order confirmation e-mails out.

 

There are two solutions:

 

1. Use the official osCommerce Pay Pal IPN. This is the

only IPN module which begins with 'osCommerce'. It is

also the only IPN module with a completely new and

free-standing set of files - meaning that you don't

have to edit any other files in order to install it.

 

2. Go to your Pay Pal account, go to Profile, and

sign up for their Auto-Return service - which returns the

customer to your website automatically after a delay of a

few seconds. The return url you must provide is something

like this (adjust as necessary for your website):
