PayPall App (v.5.018) - Preparing [PayPal Standard] vs. Preparing [PayPal IPN]

[ezfindit]

In the new PayPall App (v.5.018) - Payments Standard - tab/option, in the settings area, under Preparing Order Status ("Set this to the order status level that customer prepared orders are assigned to.") we can select:

Preparing [PayPal Standard] 

-or-

Preparing [PayPal IPN]

Which one is the best one to select?  What is the difference between them?

 

Also, in the General tab, under the Transactions Order Status (" Set this to the private order status level where transaction information should be stored.") we can select:

PayPal [Transactions] 

-or-

Preparing [PayPal Standard] 

Which one is the best one to select?  What is the difference between them?

Hi,

The "Preparing [PayPal Standard]" status is set by default for any automatic pre-order created when PayPal is chosen as payment method.
This status is automatically created, like PayPal [Transactions], when the standard PayPal module is installed.
You can renamed/delete them, if you want or/and assign another status.

"Preparing [PayPal IPN]" must be an "old" status created with another PayPal module version before.
