PayPal IPN question

[lapo4ka18]

I just installed paypal ipn. Created test product which cost $0.01 and shipping is also $0.01. When I used option paypal ipn on checkout page, it gave me paypal page with these $0.02 cents. I paid this amount with another paypal account and when I came back to checkout_success.php page I had a message that my order was failed. I checked my paypal account which I paid from and I see paypal took $0.02 cents from my account and I see this $0.02 cents on my business account. Does anybody know why I got failed message on checkout_success.php page?

May be because my paypal business account is not verified or amount is not big enough.

 

One more question. I tried one more time and when I had to pay I canceled my payment and I got back to my web site and when I went to admin I sow this order on my orders page. Why is that? I thought if client will cancel his/her payment it's not going to write to order file on admin site.

Any thoughts?

 

:D

As I understand it, using the IPN module sends an order to your admin when they first get to the PayPal screen. This happens whether they actually order the item through PayPal or not. This is to account for people who do not press the "Continue" button on the PayPal side (and believe me, that's a high percentage of people).

 

The other option is to send the order to the admin after they come back to your site, but then if they don't press continue on PayPal you will have no idea what they ordered. That's how the default PayPal module works.

 

So while this isn't perfect, it's better than the alternative.

Hi

 

Does anybody know why I got failed message on checkout_success.php page?

 

You should check out this thread:

There's a fix for that problem.

That fix will be included in the next release of the PayPal IPN contrib

I think I found a bug. When payment is made and everything is O.K. on checkout_success.php page I see all items in a shopping cart. It is not reseting to zero. How can I fix this?

 

Thanks :)
