Hey,
I'm new to Open Cart..
Everything sounds great, except the payment part.
I want the customers to pay me through paypal, and the paypal return confirmation to my site.
All my products are download able (Software)

Please guide me.

Now when I enable Paypal payments in the admin panel and I try to shop and pay.
It takes me to paypal page displaying error "Unknown pmtaction value."

Thanks.

Yes, thanks I found it just before your reply.

I have 2 questions.
1st. Does paypal send back the customers to my site after they pay?
2nd. What should the order status be for paypal (in the admin panel) ?

Thanks again.

1. Yes
2. I would leave as Pending and manually alter status in admin after you are happy you have enough stock and that the payment is ok etc...

2. I would set it to processing as that imo means the order is paid for and in the next step

But depending on how you run your business, you can choose or make new ones

All the products I'm selling are downloads (Scripts and codes).

If I set the status to "complete", it works fine and the customer can download the file just after paying.

But the question is: if the user doesn't pay on paypal and go back to my site, does the status of the payment become "complete" and he can download the product without paying?

No. Only on successful payment response does the status change
