Two Problems....Produce Name Not Showing In Paypal Payment

[mmontalbano]

I'm having two problems with the same site but doubt they are related. One issue is that when a customer is sent to Paypal to pay the only thing that shows up is the name of the site. Is there a way to change a string in the Paypal module to include product name?

 

Same site... customer placed and order. The customer shows up but when I click to see their order history there is no order for them. Also does not show up in products purchased or anywhere else for that matter.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Either install PayPal IPN or follow the following.

 

First off replace your paypal.php with this one or one similar, it will place the order where it ought to be and no tthe store name.

The way it works ....

 

your customer makes an order, they fill in the details on your site, this then gets passed to paypal with this all of the information is gone with your customer to paypal.

once in Paypal your customer completes or stops the order, if successful they go of somewhere else, another site, get the kids etc... thinking that they have no problem.

When they go from paypal all of the information goes as well, sure they get the same mail you do saying that they paid so much, but not what for!

You need to set the Paypal site to redirect to your store once payment is successful.

you can do this by logging into paypal, then profile > website payment preferences Auto return set to ON return URL is your domain name followed by checkout_success.php

so now when your customer completes checkout they get returned to your site along with all of the info, which update the Database, creates an order and send out e mails.
