Guest Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I'm having a problem with the payment process with PayPal. Once a customer goes to my checkout_payment.php page and selects PayPal they are taken to PayPal's site. Once they select "continue checkout" they are returned back to my site but end up back at the checkout_shipping page again. They should end up at the checkout_confirmation page. How can I correct this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrix2223 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I had the same problem. It is because of the stock osc paypal module. Try installing paypal ipn: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2679 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try installing paypal ipn: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2679 Thanks for the reply, but I'm a little affraid to install this contribution as I've read through the threads and it appears there are some problems with it that I just don't want to deal with at this time. I've had enough problems/issues with this site as it is. Do you know whether I could set up a .htaccess file that would redirect to the correct page. If so, would you know how to code it?

rabbitseffort Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 have the redirect at paypal set to your checkout_process.php page "I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings." ---Margaret Mead--- "The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer -- they think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer. --Ken Kesey" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Just go into your Paypal account and under "profile", then far right column, about 1/2 down, is a selection where you can enter the URL of the page you wish your customers to return to your to. For example, to your checkout_success.php page. I have done this and works perfectly. I have IPN installed, but none of the sitekeys and certificate codes given by PayPal work in the IPN ... so I am not using it. The alternative is to install the Master Password contribution. This allows you to log into your customer's account and finish their checkout process in case they do not return to your site (and thus their order wasn't logged).
