scanyman Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Hi all, trying to get my head round IPN and get my site up and running to receive credit cards via paypal. I have followed the IPN installation and am using version 2.2 I have then followed the guide by Alexstudio to test using a file to download. My site goes over to paypal and if I pay using paypal the test buyer then comes back to the site ok and gets the download link etc. At first all seems ok. When the user then views his order information it displays the following 02/24/2007 Preparing [PayPal IPN] 02/24/2007 Processing PayPal IPN Verified [Pending (Verified; <span class=currency_symbol>£</span>1.00<span class=currency_symbol></span>); multi_currency] When checking the sandbox the buyers activity shows a transfer from credit card as "completed" but the payment to my test seller as "unclaimed". When checking the sellers account nothing has taken place ie no history of any transactions. I have checked the correct email address is set up in admin and the rest of the settings are as follows at bottom of page . I suspect that it will be something simple but have tried for days to locate the problem. Any help appreciated.

ashley76 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 quick question, where is the link to the test by alexstudio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexStudio Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 'Unclaimed' means you're sending money to an email address not registered with PayPal (sandbox). If you are sure that the email address is registered in sandbox, there probably is something wrong with the sandbox. You can ask PayPal for help if the problem doesn't go away.

Thanks Alex, will investigate that, one quick question though, should I get 2 lines of text showing in customers order information box as: 02/24/2007 Preparing [PayPal IPN] 02/24/2007 Processing PayPal IPN Verified [Pending (Verified; <span class=currency_symbol>£</span>1.00<span class=currency_symbol></span>); multi_currency] or is something else wrong as well as the email address problem.

ashley76 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 How long does it take to get a reply from paypal when you register for sandbox access? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photofxplus Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Thanks Alex, will investigate that, one quick question though, should I get 2 lines of text showing in customers order information box as: 02/24/2007 Preparing [PayPal IPN] 02/24/2007 Processing PayPal IPN Verified [Pending (Verified; <span class=currency_symbol>£</span>1.00<span class=currency_symbol></span>); multi_currency] or is something else wrong as well as the email address problem. This looks like the correct return for a paid order. You have 'Pending' set as the paypal completed order status, the second line 'verified[pending... means the purchase was processed succesfully.
