False Orders in OSC 2.2 RC2a

[Guest]

Ok,

 

I have posted this in the past but received little response to this possible bug in this version.

 

 

I have completed 4 new sites with OSCommerce 2.2 RC2a and have the same problem on all sites. The scenario is this:

 

- The customer shops, and adds items to their cart.

- The customer clicks 'checkout' and 'continues' the order. (This is where the customer order is confirmed)

- The customer clicks 'confirm' and is taken to PayPal's site but does not pay, only returns to the customers website by hitting the back button or clicks 'return to merchant website' on the PayPal site.

 

The problem is, that OSC says the order is complete even before the customer is sent to PayPal for payment. The inventory is reduced to reflect the sale and the order status is set to processing.

 

 

Has anyone else com across this and is there a fix for this ?

Use PayPal IPN

Great idea Nick,

 

However when I set up my customers websites I generally don't have access to the customers PayPal account so I use PayPal Standard and just enter their email address so they can accept payments. IPN would require access to the customers accounts. Any other suggestions to kill this bug ?

IPN does not require you to access the clients paypal accounts...it can be set up just as easy just using the paypal address. (all the cert info etc... is optional and do not need to be filled out)

Thanks Nick,

 

 

I will look into it. I thought IPN required changes to the customers PayPal account.

 

Thanks again.
