Paypal Website Payment Error

[aftabn10]

i have tested my website to see if everything works ok with paypal. the problem i seem to be having is that, when clicking on Confirm Order (tested to make sure it goes to paypal site), and then returning back to my website without making a PAYMENT, I get an order in my ADMIN with preparing (paypal standard) as the status.

 

Can somebody help to clarify why this is? in my paypal settings in admin i have got the following:

 

Enable PayPal Website Payments Standard

True

E-Mail Address

[email protected]

Set Preparing Order Status

Preparing [PayPal Standard]

Set PayPal Acknowledged Order Status

Processing

Gateway Server

Live

Transaction Method

Sale

Page Style

PayPal

Debug E-Mail Address

[email protected]

 

Thanks in advance.

Enable PayPal Website Payments Standard

better of to disable this script and install better one like PayPal IPN.

In "includes/modules/payment/paypal_standard.php" :

 

function process_button() {
  global $customer_id, $order, $sendto, $currency, $cart_PayPal_Standard_ID, $shipping;

  $process_button_string = '';
  $parameters = array('cmd' => '_xclick',
					  'item_name' => STORE_NAME,
					  'shipping' => $this->format_raw($order->info['shipping_cost']),
					  'tax' => $this->format_raw($order->info['tax']),
					  'business' => MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_STANDARD_ID,
					  'amount' => $this->format_raw($order->info['total'] - $order->info['shipping_cost'] - $order->info['tax']),
					  'currency_code' => $currency,
					  'invoice' => substr($cart_PayPal_Standard_ID, strpos($cart_PayPal_Standard_ID, '-')+1),
					  'custom' => $customer_id,
					  'no_note' => '1',
					  'notify_url' => tep_href_link('ext/modules/payment/paypal/standard_ipn.php', '', 'SSL', false, false),
					  'return' => tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PROCESS, '', 'SSL'),
					  'cancel_return' => tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PAYMENT, '', 'SSL'),
					  'bn' => 'osCommerce22_Default_ST',
					  'paymentaction' => ((MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_STANDARD_TRANSACTION_METHOD == 'Sale') ? 'sale' : 'authorization'));

 

Is it possible to use Paypal IPN for Website Payments Standard orders? We want to use Payments Standard at first because it is low cost, and does not require the customer to have a Paypal Account.

 

I'm not terribly concerned with the item name showing our store, as the customer will receive order notification from oscommerce as well, with detailed order info. But it would be nice for the paypal invoice to also reflect the same detail.
