return from PayPal

[patmazuel]

Hello

In the sandbox environment, when returning from a Paypal transaction, I land on the client login.php page (the client has been logged out), the sale did not go through.

I tried suggestions that I could find on the forum on related topics: ENABLE_SSL', false. Paypal IPN activated and not. Automatic return from PayPal set with no return url or url set as ...../checkout-process.php or ..../checkout_success.php.

All this without success. Additionnaly, activation or not of the IPN made no difference on the transfer of the sale parameters to Paypal.

 

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks in advance

check the session/cookies settings

which module do you use, I can guaranty that if you using right one (like v2.7) it will be working without any issues!

I installed oscommerce V2.2 (in french) and I only used the paypal module that is in this version.

I didn't install any contributions for paypal (maybe I should have, in that case could you recommend one ?).

I didn't see a V2.7, I do see a V3 but it is an alpha so I don't want to use this yet.

The only contribution that I have installed is TinyMCE and that is working great.

 

In IE8 I have the automatic settings for cookies.

 

In Oscommerce , admin, configuration, session , "use force cookies" (sorry translated from french) is set to NO.

If I set this to yes, and tell IE8 to accept all cookies (internal or extenal) , then try to connect to my account, I get a notice that my navigator doesn't accept cookies, even though I told my navigator to accept cookies.

 

Thanks for your help.

I have seen lots of people have this same problem, but can't find a solution.

Does it have anything to do with the other session settings ?

all the sessions setting are NO, except the spider which is set to yes to block spiders.

in configure.php file you can set the following:

 

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

Actually you are right, paypal worked without any issues at all.

I was trying to first test using Sandbox, and it was sandbox that caused me to be logged out upon return to my site.

I decided to just jump in the water and test directly with paypal, and it worked perfectly the first time.

a BIG problem for this tha i see, is that should a user accidently NOT have cookies enabled, then paypal parses the payment, but then when returning to the site, they are logged out, and the basket still thinks that the payment is OUTSTANDING.

 

I am currently experiencing such a problem, as i am running this on a test site. The cookie setting uses www. prefix (by the looks of it) so my cookie will never be authentic until i register the name and upload it accordingly. I cant even see the payments in the order status within the actual tables directly.

 

So my question is really, is there a way the customer can RECOVER the file to download after payment, if the browser is wrongly set, or there is an overall problem with cookies in general? The basket doesnt recognise that payment has parsed through :-(

 

Thanks In advance, Xarlos.
