PAypal standard errors

Recommended Posts

So, after everything I am still getting errors with the paypal app.

 

I seem to have two distinct intermittent problems.

 

1. customer pays and the order remains as preparing paypal

2. Payment has been received but the items are still in the customer basket. Paypal has the order number but the order number does not exist on the database.

 

 

Now I think 1. may be caused by 2 as the next order would seem to be the same order no - so paypal will say that the order has already been paid for. For this "order" there is a paypal log entry with notify_validate[iPN] which does contain all the items.

 

 

I have PDT set up with a return address of order_process.php

 

I have IPN set up with the same address.

 

My PDT token is ok and does work ( with intermittent failures)

 

I am using PHP at 5.6 and SQL at 5.5

 

Sorry but this is making me tear my hair out.

 

Is there a transaction flow anywhere?

 

Many thanks

Many thanks,

 

I have that set now and that has indeed reduced the errors.

 

It would seem that I get an error when the name of the person purchasing the item differs in some respect to the paypal account name, i.e. purchaser is wayne audley and the account is Joan audley, The first name in the recieved IPN is the joan. would this be a possibility?

Sorry scratch that just had another one. this time all matches. The IPN in the log has the correct order no. Resending the IPN in both cases did not help.

So, ALL MY FAULT! Capital letter in the paypal default email (something I never ever do and so read as normal) .

 

There is so much in this set up and you have to be super careful with it all.

 

Many thanks for all the support. One for the notes!
