How to let paypal standard module works?

Dear All,

Sorry that english is not my language.
I setup the latest OC version 1.4.8, and i have enalbed the paypal standard module.
I test with sandbox and it works in both seller and buyer account.
However, i see order goes to missing order in this version.
I searching aroudn the forum and i just change to live mode, the order be recorded while i don't process to pay.

2 Questions -
1. How come the order be recorded in database in live mode before you paid?
2. What should be the IPN URL i get to test at sandbox? i try to paste mine, but it return http 400 error.

I am trying to reach paypal support for further detail on my web or hosting, i hope thy can reply me asap.

Thanks for you guys here if you can tell me more about this issues.

Also apprecaite to Opencart development tem.
Thanks a lot,

Feliz

No one knows how to make it works?
I need help.
Pls help me..!

well no one else has any problems with it. You do not need to set an ipn url that is handled through the api. The order is recorded before they are sent to paypal, but doesn't get a status till they come back.

Thanks for your reply Sir.
However, i got double missing order once i checkout with sandbox.
I am quite confusing on this.
If paypal doesn't return a callback, is that means the double order will remain stay in missing order status?
I try to change the order_status_ID in database from default 'o' to'1' or others, this make me have the history status for buyer to check onec they paid.
Althoug i did this, but i guess this would not slove my issues.

And i see Qphoria's post to add mail($this->config->get('config_email'), "IPN REACHED", "IPN REACHED"); at top of the callback function (), but i have not received a notify email.
Thus, i am getting lost.

I see his post is on year 2009, i am not sure is it be updated to a new one or not.
I contact paypal today and they send me a IPN guide to read out, oh, so sorry...i am not good at this.

Thnaks for your share.

Hi Qphoria,

Thanks for your attention.
I checked, but none.
Pls see attached image, i am afraid i am viewing the wrong page.

Thanks

And i don't know why, i cannot turn the IPN to off.
The page does not show me the link to turn it off right now.

The site show.
"We're currently working on some improvements, so parts of the site won't be available from 14:00 GMT+08:00 to 16:00 GMT+08:00. Sorry for the inconvenience."

So bad...may be paypal is in maintenance today.

Hi all,

I received reply from paypal,
They concluded my issues as below.

As you mentioned “But i cannot find my order in admin, and buyer cannot get their order history.”, actually the problem you mentioned could be 3 parts:

1) You do not have such a IPN message listener to receive IPN message. Means you should have a receiver to accept those transaction status message.

2) You have not switched on the IPN functions in either PayPal or using notify_URL.

3) You received the IPN message, but your system does not change the status of order.

Hi Q,
is it the truth?

Hi Q,

I put my IPN URL: http://mystore.com/index.php?route=paym ... andard.php
It seems wrong.
And i read out forum and found another link someone said.
'index.php?route=payment/pp_standard/callback'

Which should be correct?
I tested both of them. But seems none of them works.

I want to test again my IPN url, but it's really in maintenance today

Special thanks to Qphoria and all of you guys share your opinion here,
That let me know i am not working alone.
Thank you guys!

I am facing the same issue.
I can not see orders after coming back from paypal sandbox.

In DB, I see the records in order table but not in order_history table.
What went wrong?
I am very new to OC.
Could you please give any help?

Get opencart 1.4.9 and you shouldn't have to worry about it anymore

Hi Qphoria

Thank you for your suggestion. I upgraded to 1.4.9 and using default template and English.

I got a different error.

"This transaction cannot be completed..." while logging in paypal sandbox
I am sure the username/password is correct.
I would appreciate any help. Please!!

I have the same exact issue and changing Transaction Method from "Authorization" to "Sale" fixed that problem but then listed the order as missing upon completion. Paypal standard worked fine with 1.48 on my site, so I don't think it's a server issue.

Thanks, JasonSGN for your info.
Yes, once I change Transaction Method from "Authorization" to "Sale" , "This transaction cannot be completed..." is resolved. However I also face missing order issue . . .

Any help, please!

are both you guys trying to use sandbox? The screenshot above didn't look like a sandbox screenshot to me. If you are trying to use sandbox both sides have to be logged into sandbox. Basically paypal sandbox is a royal pain in the ass to use, and in my experience is pretty much useless. I've seen people test with sandbox and it work, but live didn't, and I've seen 100's of times when sandbox won't work, but live is just fine.

I "thought" I fixed the sandbox in the latest version. And in 1.4.9.1 I fixed the authorization mode so that should work now as well. Otherwise enable debug and check your system error log
