Desperate with Paypal IPN checkout module

**gneppo** · 28 Jul 2008, 07:52 PM

Hi!
I am a new user of zencart. I installed my shopping cart, customized it, create my product (I have to sell just one). I configured modules for shipping and payment.

It works fine the... in a moment IPN checkout stopped to work!!! (I think I setted up something in other module that influenced the IPN)

Now this is what appens: THE USERS ARE ABLE TO PAY ON PAYPAL BUT NO ORDERS ARE VISIBLE IN ADMIN!

I readed about this problem nothing did work!

I tryed:

1) use ipn_main_handler.php of 1.3.7 version
2) assigned 777 or 755 or 766 flags
3) installed/reinstaled it N times
4) Checked for paypal parameters

NOTHING'S CHANGED! I'M DESPERATE, MY USERS CANNOT BUY!!!

Can you help me?!?!?!

Thanks

Up,

Please, I don't know what to do!

**webcoyote** · 30 Jul 2008, 03:54 PM

Hi,

Maybe the info at the link below will be helpful...

good luck,

I have the same problem, using 1.3.8
The link you posted is an old thread from 2007, and version 1.3.7, so wouldn't those files already be included in the new zen cart?

I tested paypal when I first set up the store and it worked fine -- now it's not

This is a serious issue as I've had several paypal orders come through with no reference in the shop admin. I can see the payment from paypal emails, of course, but no way to connect the two

Thanks

If you're using v1.3.8, DO NOT use the v1.3.7 version of any PayPal files!!
If you're using v1.3.7, then you should apply the full PayPal update for v1.3.7 from here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56216 (DO NOT APPLY THIS UPDATE IF YOU ARE USING Zen Cart v1.3.8)

Why is that saying "localhost"? You cannot use a "localhost" server to take PayPal IPN transactions. To do IPN transactions your webserver needs to be on a server connected to the internet with a full domain name and accessible from anywhere in the world.

I am having the same issue now with v 1.38

It worked fine on the first 40+ orders. Nothing ever changed (no new modules, no new paypal address, no new server or anything)

Now I get payments, but no orders in admin and it does not send me a store receipt or the download link for products with attributes that are available via download.

**aly22** · 5 Aug 2008, 01:14 AM

This is SO frustrating! Now the order shows up in the store on the ORDERS page, but NO email comes through, Paypal receipts do not show order #'s and my email confirmations are skipping paypal order #'s as well.

**aly22** · 30 Sep 2008, 05:00 AM

I am still having this issue with no resolution (and I am NOT using GoDaddy hosting). Has anyone resolved it? I do see the orders in the shop admin, and I receive paypal payment notifications from Paypal ... but I do NOT get the invoice emailed to my fulfillment department ...

Regular credit card payments (Authorize.net) are going through with no problem whatsoever. For Paypal payments I have to manually go through the orders and copy/paste order details to fulfillment.

**misty** · 30 Sep 2008, 05:08 AM

Did you recently install security patch dated 19th September
if so there is a newer one that doesn't stop certain paypal ipn payments from working i.e.

Use paypal express instead. It has the same functionality, and it always works
