Guest Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 common problem. They didn't finish the checkout. Install the "master password" from the KB, then login as your customer, check them out w/Money Order (so they don't have to pay again). Best thing to prevent this is to install a PayPal IPN contrib. -jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 It's not obvious from your post if you are using to the default PayPal payment module or one of the contributions. Based on your comments 2 posts ago, I'm guessing that you've installed one of the contribs. The problem you described is common to those who have not installed one of those contribs, and gets asked here a LOT. If you're having a problem with a certain area of code that is non-stock, it's very useful to make a note of that when describing problems. It sounds like you can't check out no matter which payment method you choose, correct? This isn't just a PayPal problem? -jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW i have only 1 mod installed it is the Gift voucher Mod if that helps any as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 To your knowledge, did this ever work properly after installing the CCGV contribution? -jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 If this is the same store from your other thread (and it looks like it is) and you're going to reinstall, don't worry about this problem unless it comes back after reinstallation. -jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekker9876 Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Best thing to prevent this is to install a PayPal IPN contrib. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> OK, so I installed this IPN but now I have received 3 orders with it, but no payments yet. very weird..

Guest Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I'm having the same problem with receiving PayPal payments and not knowing what was in the order. Sometimes, the code works and other times it doesn't. I've had four PayPal orders. 2 worked fine and 2 did not work. And it was an every otherh occurance. I'm using the standard PayPal code. Is the only way to fix this is to add the latest PayPal contribution? Any comments on what to do would be appreciated. I don't really understand the master password thing. Can you explain further what to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I downloaded the Master Password v1.0 contribution. However, I don't get the part on "RUN THE SQL". How do I insert the items into configuration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 The RUN THE SQL section is the text that you need to put into the SQL tab in phpMyAdmin - - they're SQL commands to add some data to your database. There is a simpler "Master Password" mod in the KB that essentially does the same thing.
