Guest Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hi I am fairly new to oscommerce and have been having strange problems with orders in that sometimes I would get an email confirmation and then sometimes nothing although the order was going into the admin section. Now I don't get either. The only time I know that I have got an order is when I receive an email from Paypal telling me that someone has paid. Can anyone please help? Thanks John.

FIMBLE Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hi John, Install official paypal IPN from the contributions it will create an order before your customer leaves to pay. This is a very common fault with the bog standard osc paypal module Nic Sometimes you're the dog and sometimes the lamp post [/url] My Contributions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juniorprg Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 when you said order doesnt show up in the admin area, do check the order table in your database and see if the orders are available there, then you could single out if that some coding issue or altogether you have a problem... l8ter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 This is a common problem when using Paypal. In the standard system, the order is not written out if the customer does not return from Paypal. Here's some more information. http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=325469 Also, this problem has lots, and lots, of topic discussions. If you do some searches you can find even more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
