Lgn.Magic Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) 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 Edited August 20, 2009 by Lgn.Magic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web-project Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 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 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.

Lgn.Magic Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) 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..

satish Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 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. Satish Quote Ask/Skype for Free osCommerce value addon/SEO suggestion tips for your site.
