No Order Info from Paypal!

[Guest]

Ok, I have done some changes to the site like other posts have put out there. What do I do with this "identity token". Paypals only has this to offer

 

https://www.paypal.com/en_US/pdf/PP_OrderMa...rationGuide.pdf

 

"Getting and Using the Identity Token". For more information about the HTTP POST, see "PDT Notification Synch".

 

pg 22

 

When a customer orders an item the order is not being captured by the site so I have turned on auto return with the

going back to checkout_success.php

 

I have installed your "Better PayPal Descriptions"

 

but I still haven't done anything with this "identity token"

 

The manual that paypal offers isn't broken down simple enough. If you can be of any help that would be great. This is my first time using php so I guess the simpler the better

 

Thanks again

 

Sincerely,

I'm not sure of the exact answers to your questions, but if you haven't already, download the Paypal IPN contribution. It will allow the order to be stored even if the customer doesn't return. I used Paypal IPN 1.1 and it worked for me.

Are you using the Paypal module that comes with oscommerce or aaaaan IPN module of Paypal.

 

If you are using theone that comes with oscommerce2.2 then you need to set Auto return on and point the return URL to a proper location.

 

If using IPN you just need to keep Auto return on and rest is done thru site.

 

The token is used to avoid spoofing.Sppofing is a concept whereby a hacker tries to hack your site bu intercepting the packets sent to your site andreplying so the hacker can get all the post of paypal.

 

To avoid this having had happen an identification token is sent by the codethat the reply is from a proper site and making hacking a difficult issue.
