gcextreme Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Ok I have an issue..i have searched, and found a few threads, but no exact solution! I have sold several things on my store, i get the Paypal confirmation, but it seems the customer isnt being re-directed back to the site for the shopping cart to finish the order, and the orders arent showing up.. i have set up the redirect page on paypal, but im not sure if its correct.. what should the correct url page be?

Guest Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 @@gcextreme The auto return URL should be something like www.yourdomain.com/checkout_process.php Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcextreme Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Yeah i thought i had it to that originally...and it didnt work so i changed it to the success.php page...still didnt work.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥toyicebear Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) Even if you set the return correct (as Chris mentioned www.yourdomain.com/checkout_process.php ) you are not guaranteed they will return back to your site...they can still close their browser, type a new url or just select to view their paypal account page instead of returning back to your site. The solution: Use PayPal IPN or PayPal Express.

sveegaard Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Well, sorry to bump this but... I have the same experience as gcextreme: Orders are processed by PayPal, the customers is sent back to my site (sandbox) - but no orders are shown in the customer's order history or in the admin (but I can find orders by searching by their IDs). My orders_status table is empty (is it supposed to be that?) but the orders_status_history table seems OK. I am new to osC, and I seem to suck at it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
