Quick Paypal IPN question

[♥peterpil19]

Hi,

 

Is there a way to force osC to send out the order confirmation email regardless of whether the customer pays in paypal and then returns to the store? I'm having to manually send them out.

The email is sent out when the order is comleted, regardless of the payment method. It shounds like you are using the stock paypal module so the code never knows the order was completed (if they don't return to the shop). The fix is to install the paypal ipn contribution.

Thanks for your reply Jack.

 

Unfortunately, I am using the IPN payment module. I can reinstall it I suppose.

 

If anyone has time to answer: which paypal ipn contribution should I install, there seems to be more than one...

I use the oscommerce_paypal_ipn V 1.1 one and haven't had that problem, for what that's worth.

Strange,

 

Just did a fresh install on a different server and tried oscommerce_paypal_ipn v 1.1, and the test customer still doesn't get a confirmation of order email if they drop out of paypal without paying.

 

I'm going to try the other paypal contribution (Paypal_Shopping_Cart_IPN) and see what happens...

I just tried Paypal_Shopping_Cart_IPN on a fresh install, and the order email is not being sent out.

 

If anyone knows how to fix this (other than manually emailing invoices to non-paying buyers), please let me know.

It doesn't sound like it is the paypal module. Try it with Check/Money Order. Does it work then? If not, you should download the email test script and run it to see where the problem is.

Thanks again Jack for taking the time to post, I appreciate.

 

The other modules are fine,. A fellow forum member let me know that I'll have to make some changes in the IPN.php file. If I figure it out, I'll post it somewhere.

 

Regards,
