paypal redirection problem

[cretbogdan]

I am using PayPal Website Payments Standard and version 2.3.1 .After a lot of problems i manage to make a paypal module to work . I still got a problem when someone pay with credit card without having a paypal account . After he pays , he is not redirected to my website and the order is not registred . This happens only if he pays with credit card without a paypal account .

If he has a paypal account , then he is redirected back to the website and all is fine .

Does anyone has an idea how to solve this ?

Sorry for my bad english

Paypal says " Notice: if you chose to activate the function Count optional PayPal for the new users and activated a function called automatic return, the new users will not be automatically redirected towards your site but can return there if they want it. "

The return URL should be www.mysite.com/checkout_process.php. The paypal module uses IPN so you should have the order recorded whether they return or not.

That is all i am interested to have the order recorded , then i can notify the customer . There are some customers who pay and i don't know because they are not sending any email , nothing even they don't got a confirmation email .

 

Are you sure that this module is using IPN ?

 

I will turn on IPN and set the return URL as you suggested and hoping that it will record my orders .

 

Thank you very much for your time .

No change , i Changed the return url and activated IPN but it is not working .

 

No redirect back to website => no order registered . Only for credit card payments i have these problems .

yes the order is register but without return no email and the order is not validated

[cretbogdan]

where is the order registered ? I tried and it did not apper anything in back office if i didn't come back to my website . Should i look somewhere in database ? Is order registered in database ?

[♥mattjt83]

If you go to yoursite.com/admin/orders.php do you see the order there? I am using the standard module that came with osCommerce 2.3 and when I reach checkout_confirmation.php I can see the order in my admin on the orders.php admin page with the status: Preparing [PayPal Standard] .

 

If I then go to pay for the order on the paypal site the order is updated via IPN to my site whether I go back to my site or not. I won't get an email confirmation if the customer does not return but the order will still be completed and its status updated via the IPN call.

[cretbogdan]

No order recorded in admin , i had looked and if i don't come back after i pay on paypal site , the order is not recorded at all . IPN is On and return ulr is set ....

all of the files you listed end in .html and should end in .php. When paypal calls the standard_ipn.html it gets a 404 error and fails.

 

You have to configure those URLs properly.

Would having some sort of SEO/SEF add-on convert these .php addresses to .html? Do they go through tep_href_link()?

[cretbogdan]

I really don't know how to fix this problem with URL .

I did not made the entire website by myselft . Who worked before i think he installed Ultimate SEO V2.2d

in .htaccess file i have these rewrite rules . maybe the problem is here somewhere ? I really don't know what to do ...

Paypal calls those files and gets a 404 because they don't exist, so they send you that message.

 

In your paypal account, go to profile > more options > my selling tools > instant payment notifications , click update, in the notification URL put http://www.ecig-vapo.com/ext/modules/payment/paypal/standard_ipn.php

[cretbogdan]

Thank you , i had modified and i tried to made an order with my credit card , but still no order recorded in database if i don't come back to website . It is possible that the IPN is not sent instantly ? and sent later ?

I think it's important to know for everyone that the site in question is using some version of a one page checkout. The standard paypal module works out of the box and this error is most likely caused by the checkout system being used. The reason I say this is because people are troubleshooting based on a standard install when in fact this not that at all. Just my opinion...
