♥Vger Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 If using Pay Pal read below: ************************ Pay Pal Standard Module ----------------------- If you are using the default Pay Pal Module that comes with osCommerce and are wondering why the orders don't get added to the database, the stock updated, and that no order confirmation e-mails get sent out - this is the reason. You are reliant upon the customer hitting the 'Continue' button on the Pay Pal website at the end of their purchase, which then returns them to your website, updates the database, updates the stock quantity, empties their shopping cart, and sends the order confirmation e-mails out. There are two solutions: 1. Use the official osCommerce Pay Pal IPN. This is the only IPN module which begins with 'osCommerce'. It is also the only IPN module with a completely new and free-standing set of files - meaning that you don't have to edit any other files in order to install it. 2. Go to your Pay Pal account, go to Profile, and sign up for their Auto-Return service - which returns the customer to your website automatically after a delay of a few seconds. The return url you must provide is something like this (adjust as necessary for your website): http://www.yourdomain.com/checkout_process.php Vger

bkellum Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Where do I go to find more info. on the first option. Im still new to this Do you know what version of osC your are using? The RC1 & RC2 versions have the latest PayPal modules already installed. If you are using the 060817 and older versions, then you would need to follow the advice of Vger above.

bkellum Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 osCommerce 2.2-MS2 is what im using, so if this version doesn't have it where do I get the files to update it or I will just look into the paypal auto forward thing That release actually has several different versions such as 060817 (released in August 2006), RC1 (Released in July 2007 I think) and two RC2 releases, RC2 and the most recent RC2a (the version that is available now as of this posting anyway). Here are the links to the osCommerce version of the PayPal modules.

shade Posted April 28, 2008 Author Posted April 28, 2008 ok well then it has to be the one that was released in august 2006 since my store has been up for quite a while
bkellum Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 ok well then it has to be the one that was released in august 2006 since my store has been up for quite a while Then you would need to install one of the above modules manually since they are new to your version of osC. The download includes detailed installation and configuration instructions that should be all that you need.
