Cart etc works fine, user passed off to PayPal, makes payment, gets returned to the site, displays the transaction ID and order id, however these aren’t stored against the orders weblog.

Also finding error message of FAILED: Could not verify that the payment notification coming from Paypal was received correctly.

I’ve got IPN and auto return enabled - not sure what else could be going on?

I’ve got the site in live environment, albeit the ticket centre isn’t viewable unless you know it’s there.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Steven

1. Make sure you have auto-return ON

2. Turn on Payment Data Transfer

3. We made some enhancements where PayPal verification is concerned not too long ago. Since we made those changes, we haven’t heard of any additional verification problems. What version of CT do you have setup?

Thanks for the prompt reply Chris - much obliged.

Auto-return is on, PDT is also on, I’m running 0.9501

Vs. 502 is when we fixed the PayPal issue.

See revised PayPal gateway attached.

sweet mate, I’ll give that a whirl

rats, that’s not worked either. Although I have noticed an order that seems to have the transaction ID assigned OK. Points toward a PayPal issue?

If you send me long access… I can test.

Login details come through OK?

Yes. It’s in the queue.

Hey Chris, can you tell me where in the queue this is? Don’t like to push but event is a few weeks away and need to push ticket sales ASAP.

Cheers,

I’ll be working on this no later than Monday.

When I use my sandbox ID, the transaction completes successfully. The order is completed and the transaction ID is saved with the order.

You probably already have this stuff set up:

1. Make sure you have enabled Auto Return in your Paypal settings

2. Turn On Payment Data Transfer (PDT)

3. Make sure your account is verified.

4. Remember that if you use custom statuses for completed orders, you’ll need to use those statuses in weblog:entries loops. EG status=“Completed” is required… or your entries won’t be viewable in the weblog entries loop.

strange didn’t get notified you’d updated this.

Got auto return enabled, PDT on and a verified account.

Is the status thing linked to anything other than my emails? I ask because I have the custom statuses but emails are blank apart from the opening saying that someone has bought something, ie. no order data.

Are you using statuses other than open for completed transactions? If so… EE will require that you use status=“WHATEVER”  in your weblog entries to display them.

Yeah, Complete. Thing is, for fail safe at the moment I piped in all the custom statuses.
