Suggested Paypal IPN enhancement (Pablo)

[sfatula]

I would like to suggest you add the following logic to your Paypal IPN module.

 

In the language file for the payment module, add:

 

define ('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALIPN_TEXT_WARNING', '<br><font size="+2">WARNING</font> - You *MUST* click on the "CONTINUE" button on the Paypal website when Paypal says your order has been processed. Otherwise, you will not receive an invoice until your order is shipped.');

 

Or some similar wording. The key is this can be modified by the user easy enough as it is in the language file.

 

In the payment/paypalipn.php file, add the following right before the end of the confirmation function:

 

return MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALIPN_TEXT_WARNING;

 

By doing this, you will only see this message if the payment method was Paypal. I saw from some other sites implementing Paypal, that they had a general warning on their confirmation page, but this makes the warning only come up when Paypal was the payment method, and also allows the user to change it for each language.

 

Just a thought. Obviously, not rocket science but possibly useful to those using this contribution.

Hi Steve

 

The module is developed to avoid tell the customers to hit the PayPal Continue button.

 

The customer will receive an invoice as soon as the module receives the status=COMPLETED response from PayPal.
