DonH Posted May 4, 2003 Posted May 4, 2003 When using PayPal as a payment option, I use the IPN at PayPal so I get the proper info sent. When it jumps from my store to PayPal payment screen it goes through correctly using the code provided in this form. However... And my problem is once payment is made... How do I get it to complete the process in my store? My PayPal receipts show what items and how much... But it never actually completes the order in my store, therefore I never get an order number and order for both the people who run the store or for the customer. How can I correct this and make it all complete the order process? FYI: I set the IPN URL to my main store catalog... This does not work. I tried to set the IPN URL to the stores order_complete PHP file... This didn't work either. HELP PLEASE! :?: Quote
wizardsandwars Posted May 4, 2003 Posted May 4, 2003 Do you have the PayPal IPN contribution installed?

Waza04 Posted May 4, 2003 Posted May 4, 2003 You need to set the link back in your PayPal Business Account and make sure it is turned on!! Standard PayPal accounts dont allow IPN! Warren Quote
DonH Posted May 4, 2003 Author Posted May 4, 2003 I'm curently trying to install it now. It's all in... But it refers to insureing the notify_url in the payment modual Admin->Modules->Payment->PayPal IPN- I don't have any such place to set this... In my control panel it lists PayPal IPN, but I have two things in there. 1. Transactions 2. Send Test Did I do something incorrectly??? Seems like this is going to be one question after another... All I wanna do is use PayPal and know what is going on with it.. AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! Quote
DonH Posted May 4, 2003 Author Posted May 4, 2003 Set it to what though? I have a business account and IPN is on in PayPal...??? You need to set the link back in your PayPal Business Account and make sure it is turned on!! Standard PayPal accounts dont allow IPN! Warren Quote
Waza04 Posted May 4, 2003 Posted May 4, 2003 You set the callback link from your account on PayPal to the path to the PayPal Call back file! Quote
DonH Posted May 4, 2003 Author Posted May 4, 2003 Example please??? Sounding real stupid now, but this has been driving me nuts.. Do you mean like this? http://www.your_store.com/store/catalog/ch...t_paypalipn.php If not, please explain.. You set the callback link from your account on PayPal to the path to the PayPal Call back file! Quote
DonH Posted May 5, 2003 Author Posted May 5, 2003 I should have both in my admin/modules, but I have only PayPal. Where does the PayPAl IPN come from, how do i get it and so on? Quote
eredman Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 You set the callback link from your account on PayPal to the path to the PayPal Call back file! Waza, I don't understand either. I'm using PayPalIPN, I have a business account, and the only way so far that I know an order has actually been placed is when PayPal notifies me that I have received a payment. Then when I go to admin in my store it does show the order with "pending". Is this the way it should work or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!! p.s. I know this is a question in TIPS but it follows the thread. The thread shouldn't be here tho. Sorry. Quote
Tuan Le Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 I'm interested to know that fix for this also. 8) Quote
Dragonmom Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 well, I did find this contrib- ORDER LOGGING BEFORE PAYMENT PROCESSING http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...ons,871/page,10 it might do the trick, although it isn't quite what we were hoping for... Quote psst... wanna buy a wand?
Tuan Le Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 That contribution just shifted the issue over to the other side. Now, may run into issues with completed orders without payment. :( Quote
Dragonmom Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 not to mention that the data has to be acessed via phpmyadmin instead of the storefront admin. Can anyone fix this? i wish I did- i am just learnig how to use dbs at all, much less writing stuff! Quote psst... wanna buy a wand?
Druide Posted May 15, 2003 Posted May 15, 2003 check your modules > payment > PAYPAL IPN also take note of the FAQ / RULES where to ask questions, this is not the place to do so We all need to learn it once, how hard it may seem, also you will master it someday ;) Quote Robert We all need to learn it once, how hard it may seem when you look at it, also you will master it someday ;)
