orders not daved because Paypal doesn't return osCisd

[samyak]

Hello everyone!

 

in my oscommerce site, I use paypal for the payment. When the user clicks 'return to mechant' button after 'SUCCESSFUL' payment, the user is returned back to checkout_process.php page. However since paypal doesn't send osCsid in the URL, this page assumes that the user is not loggged in and redirects the user to login page.

 

This means that even though, the user made sucessful payment, his order is not saved in my site.

 

How do I deal with this problem? Please help.

Try returning to the checkout_success page. You should also install the paypal IPN contribution so returning to the site is not required.

But the same project uploaded in another server works like a miracle. In this server, the osCsid is not appened in the URL for some reason. so when user returns to my site after paying in paypal, his orders are saved becuase he is still logged in my site.

 

However in this new server, the osCsid is persistent in the URL and if I remove the osCsid from URL, the user is immediately gets logged off. When he returns from paypal, he is logged off and his orders are not saved.
