Hi Cindy, that is indeed correct. Also the seller must have a Business or Premier account.

Referring to the PayPal module that comes with the standard osCommerce v2.2 installation:

After searching this forum for nearly an hour, I am confused over which one to use:
This one looks more correct to me:

This looks suspicious to me as BOTH are set to the same URL:

Yesterday I setup my Paypal account profile to fit with my store.. but today I've got a message from Paypal as follow :

------
Hello Pitoyo Amrih,

Please check your server that handles PayPal Instant Payment Notification (IPN)
messages. Messages sent to the following URL(s) are not being received:

www.pitoyo.com/webstore/checkout_process.php

If you do not recognize this URL, you may be using a service provider that is using
IPN on your behalf. Please contact your service provider with the above information.

Once you or your service provider fix this problem, you or your service provider can
resend the failed messages from the IPN History page. If this problem continues,
PayPal may disable the IPN feature for your account.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Thanks,

PayPal

I do not want to use PayPal IPN. How do I get paypal to return to the customer confirmation page? I do not have an ipn.php page.

[nils2010]

Hey guys,

As Wayne posted earlier, I have a question regarding the effect the IPN setting has on non - oscommerce transactions.

I too trade on ebay, and need the IPN to be sent to me when a buyer completes a transaction from ebay.

Since integrating the website standard payment feature, I have set my IPN address to: http://www.mysitename.com/ext/modules/payment/paypal/standard_ipn.php as I do not have any other modules installed apart from the standard PayPal website payment standard module - i.e. I have no ipn.php file.

Now it seems that I don't receive standard IPN messages from ebay sales.

Is this correct? Is there a way to separate the 2, so that we still receive IPN's from both OSCommerce web payments and still receive IPN's from other paypal sites?

Hello in paypal I see nothing from 10 on but everything through 9
US paypal am I thinking wrong or has the interface changed.
There isn't even a payment preference setting.
My sandbox tests work fine.

Regarding setting up PayPal Website Payment Standard to have the ability to checkout without creating a PayPal account, I spoke directly with PayPal today. They told me that once the PayPal account being used for the checkout is verified (having a bank account tied to the account), the pay-without-making-an-account option will automatically appear in the checkout as an option for the customer. I'm setting up a shop for a client and encountered the same thing, so I'll see if it's correct when we verify their newly created PayPal account for their shop.

my business account is verified , im not seeing the "pay without making an account" option at the checkout . where exactly should it be appearing ? on my site or at the 'pay with paypal' order summary page ?

[AlexMitchell]

I'm having an issue with PayPal showing up as a payment option during checkout - it's not showing up even after configuring to this setup. Under payment method the only writing is "This is currently the only payment method available to use on this order." After searching through general questions, I've seen about 5 other posts with the same issue (with PayPal and Authorize.net) and no resolve. I've tried re-installing payments modules with no luck. Any ideas on how to fix this??

[Cavan]

FYI, I spoke with paypal over the phone. You need a business account set up so that customers can pay via paypal without having to open up new account. Personal and Premier accounts won't be enough.

Hi, I also installed the PayPal Standard Website Payments module in my osc 2.3.1 shop.
I got it all figured out so far, payments through sandbox are going okay, but I still have one issue:

After completing payment the PayPal website doesn't return to my shop url automatically. The buyer has 2 options; return to the shop (needed for confirmation e-mails and close the order) or he can choose to go to his PayPal account. This last option will propably cause the order never to be completed (checkout_process.php / checkout_success.php will never be reached). And yes, I did setup a callback url (checkout_process.php) in my Paypal preferences... how to make sure the buyer will be redirected to the shop after payment?? (these tests are done in sandbox)

Any hope of getting this updated? Paypal has moved stuff around and the instructions no longer make sense.. to me at least.

[14steve14]

Why dont you update it, instead of letting someone else do it. You will then be helping the comunity.

[strub]

I think the simplest way is just to do it manully in admin. If you get the confimration email from paypal, you can also confirm it manully in admin.

I do believe that if you have turned on auto return and also have the option to allow payments without a paypal account, the customer gets an option to return to the site and is not automatically returned. I think the customer gets an option to create a paypal account instead.

Have you actually checked and found the option not there. I had customers saying the same and there is a text link on the payment page, which paypal obviously dont want people to find.
