yeah... i also gave up on it in the end....

but now a new problem... the module from the gateway does not work under IE9.... but in safari and firefox no problem. And again they say they have tested and it opens fine, even thou i told them the problem first comes when i click return to store...

then i get a hash invalid...

got an idea... dont know how to code it thou...

when doing an order with this module: grab last used order number and add the value 1 to it... go in database and advance so that if another user creates an order they will get the next value after the "current"

in this way they should never get the same value... of course if the first one abandon the order before its paid there will be gap's in the used order numbers, but i would consider that a very small cosmetic thing... the advantage of having the same order numbers both places far out-wheigh the gaps

now the big Q for me is how to code it if its possible at all

ps the options to go and look for the order does not work in a pizza delivery... things are going to fast for that

hmm... i too have this problem and while the fixes are ok i can't quite use them....

been thinking... why not place the order when payment has been made? ie place the order when the customer has made the final "OK"... this would remove the requirement to click the return to shop link.

i had same problem just today... a customer orders 5 pizza's and i get the payment, but i never get an extra order e-mail nor does the customer get one... i have made my backend (v. 2.3.3) to show not the orders but a count of orders based on their status (contrib: orders at a glance) so i quickly saw "pending paypal" a status that would only be other than 0 for the few sec's it takes to click the return link...

but if the customer just closes after payment it will hang there....

of course i have account optional enabled as not everyone likes an account at paypal... nor do i like to force customers to create one...

could be super nice to just have a countdown of say 5 secs or less....

what other options are there beside the standard module? have there been modules made that integrates paypal in to the site but uses paypal in the background?

but again if the order could be finalized just between the final OK and the page that displays the return link would be more than SUPER

they have a 2.2 version yes... but that one has the "flaw" that it creates the order before its paid

will think about your advice to put it in the before_process section
