paypal standard and auto redirection from paypal

Recommended Posts

i've a simple question.

 

I've got everything working, it's just a security related question.

 

got payapl standard

http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5655

update from surfalot 22nov2008 for qtpro

http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/888

 

so everything works like a charm on all of my sandbox test's

 

can complete whole order procedure, payement and have stock adjusted when back on the site.

 

But..if customer doesn't return to site, statut isn't updated (from preparing paypal) stock isn't adjusted either...

 

So here come a simple solution...jsut going to my payapl account preferences>preferences receiving payement on the site

 

and adjust auto redirect to yes

addind as url

http://mydomain/catalog/checkout_success.php

 

i've tested it and it work like a charm even on my local install...it redirect to checkout_success saying order has been made and received, empty the cart, update order status in admin and adjust stock..

 

but i'm just looking to make sure that adding such auto redirect with http://mydomain/catalog/checkout_success.php on my payapl account will not creat any security issues or any other problem?

i mention that i've have SEO url too, but im not going to rewrite checkout success page anyways, so it shouldn't make any issue there i believe.

 

just want to know what you guys think about this solution and the security....

 

Using that method, it's almost impossible to have a problem with a paid transaction (no stock updated, no status update and so on)

 

the only problem is ppl hitting back button without make payment, so u'll have "ghost" order with preparing paypal status and no payment, but that an other story anyways :D and has nothing to do with y actual question

but if the person have several shops connected to the same PayPal account, you just wasting you time, as much easier to install the PaYPal IPN module.

Please read this line: Do you want to find all the answers to your questions? click here. As for contribution database it's located here!

8 people out of 10 don't bother to read installation manuals. I can recommend: if you can't read the installation manual, don't bother to install any contribution yourself.

Before installing contribution or editing/updating/deleting any files, do the full backup, it will save to you & everyone here on the forum time to fix your issues.

who said i was going to have several shop to my paypal account?? i'll have one oscommerce.com and ebay transaction wich goes trough the same paypal account...i don't think customers will get redirection to the url when buying something on ebay...or will they??

 

+ paypal ipn is just not what im looking for, no integration for qt pro..it by pass checkout process so i've to hard code every change from checkout process to my ipn.php in ext/ folder and i don't have the skills to do it.

with paypal standard i've directly the module ready to and just have 1 page to remplace for qt pro integration and stock adjustement..and it works EXACTLY the same as those paypal IPN since i tried both version..

With Paypal IPN code in place orders will get updated even if customer does not return to site(the paypal module that came with oscommerce prior to RC2 has some issues).

 

All modules using IPN concept take care of this shortcoming.
