pinklep Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Is there a way to add text on the confirm order page? I was hoping I might eliminate some of the dropped orders if I add a note that the customer needs to return to my website after using paypal. Any thoughts? I know paypal has an auto-return option but you need to specify the url and I dont see how this is possible. :blink: Thanks in advance! I am a Jedi, like my father before me!
Bloged Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 I can't see any problems with returning to your shop with the autoreturn function, but then again I never used Paypal.... I think your need to return to order_process.php or order_succes.php in your catalog dir! Grtz, Arjan Gelderblom I think computer viruses should count as life.

I have a live site and want to make sure. I thought the customer's cookie was necessary? Maybe not. I am a Jedi, like my father before me!
toptiara Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Thanks for your response. Has anyone tried the autoreturn function? I have a live site and want to make sure. I thought the customer's cookie was necessary? Maybe not. It does work, as we have it operational on our store. That said, we do still get people who drop off prior to being sent back which on a simple store will result in you having to do some digging for the order details as they won't be saved anywhere. We have a contribution which stores the order details prior to them leaving our store, so this is never an issue. I don't recall which contribution it is off the top of my head, but there are several about which do a similar thing. This is one example (not the one we use though) Order storage Hand made jewellery and tiaras on our website Please bear with me. Im an osC noobie!

germ Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 I'm far from an authority on this subject... :blush: I just installed the Paypal IPN module: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2679 No need to specify a "return URL"... It was relatively easy (had some "code errors", but was able to fix them all). I'd consider the install documentaion, and help files 1st class. :thumbsup: I've only tried it once, in "test mode", and was sent back to the sellers website after transactions at Paypal were complete. It all worked like it was supposed to. I'd recommend it.. So far... :D If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

In the meantime, I will set up the return url..do I use checkout_process.php for the return? Thanks! I am a Jedi, like my father before me!

satish Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 if paypal that comes with vanilla osc is to be used then autoreturn to checkout_rocess.php plus order holding contribution. Better option is to go for Paypal IPN. Satish Ask/Skype for Free osCommerce value addon/SEO suggestion tips for your site. Check My About US For who am I and what My company does.
