Viking

ok, I remember uploading the admin paypal graphic you state above in admin/orders. bU t i do not see mine, how and where does this show up? Inresponse to my response, thank you, I will prolly do a real transaction to verify the download will work

Ok, Ive upgraded as per your instructions from 1.7 to 2.2, and yes now my IPN test correctly displays Mr. JohnDoe himself. a couple things tho. 1- If you make a mistake with your order # in test ipn, when you look at the pending Paypal ipn order you will see what we had discussed earlier, and thats Error , does not exist. 2)-didnt matter if I put in the correct order # for any subsequent test after that. the test would fail. until I empty the iPN tables and restart, then the ipn test would work again. also- In my debug email i get this error ------------------------------------------------------ Invalid PayPal Response ------------------------------------------------------ Connection Type ------------------------------------------------------ curl= 1, socket= , domain= www.paypal.com, port= PayPal Response ------------------------------------------------------ INVALID would this be due to the fact I never completed this order officially? or is this an error that needs to be a addressed by the config setup in paypal site? also: 1]If with a test order , without the official ipn confirm, my invoices say customer not contacted, yet I received an email 2]If i process the order through admin and make it from pending ipn to processed how come it didnt unlock the download? is this again because of only test mode?Is there a way to test that this works without an actual purchase? Incidently, if i use check, money order etc, i can get my download link, but with this ipn contribution, I am not able to see that link at all, in ipn processing mode(to be expected)and or in processed mode(there is in my account -invoice a statement saying both ipn processing and the processed , but no link available.

So if I choose not to upgrade but just delete the old ipn tables, will the install work correctly then>?

Yes exactly, I was just searching these forums for this exact issue, I have set up downloads to accept through the ipn upon processing. However like the above post my IPN doesnt send back, in test ot live,. I too get that error saying doesnt exist. This also being unrelated. but if I from admin said to the ipn process as being processed , then why doesnt the download link become available? thanks

where in paypal does one see this ability to have customers not sign up again, I have looked and fail to see it. One of the things I do see in paypal is wther or not to turn IPN on or not, if I have the paypal ipn contribution, wuld i need to worry about that>?
